Until the judge sentences the defendant he has the power to grant a motion for directed verdict. State v. Canup, 300 Ga. App. 678 (2009). However, there is no provision in Georgia law authorizing a judge to entertain a motion for judgement of not guilty notwithstanding a verdict of guilty. Masood v. State, 313 Ga. App. 549 (2012); Colotl v. State, 313 Ga. App. 42 (2011).
