In criminal cases where more than six years of prison can be handed down , the court will have a jury of ten people deciding the guilt , as well as three professional judges who preside over the case and determine sentencing . In order to convict , at least seven of the jury members need to vote for conviction . The verdict of the jury is usually final , but can be overturned by the professional judges who then order a retrial . This happened in the NOKAS robbery case
