Does a jury have any authority or authority to overturn a finding of reversible error or reversal of judgement in an assault case?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Abrams, 427 F.2d 86 (2nd Cir. 1970):

The trial court's charge, which included an instruction to the effect that appellant must be found, beyond a reasonable doubt, to have acted, "corruptly," defined as "with improper motive, a bad and evil purpose," was adequate to apprise the jury that appellant could not be convicted for attempting to obtain what he believed to be a true statement. There is no basis for a finding of reversible error. See United States v. Indiviglio, 352 F.2d 276 (2d Cir. 1965) (en banc), cert. denied, 383 U.S. 907, 86 S.Ct. 887, 15 L.Ed.2d 663 (1966).
