I believe it is possible to substitute a different verdict, but there are specific requirements to do so. Artistic Licence to some degree is involved here.
In this case, the jury didn't get to render a verdict. The court discovered a juror's family had been kidnapped to induce him into favoring the defendant, so the judge took over the case, then rendered a not guilty verdict. Is that possible, or would they have to select another jury/replace that juror and continue/take some other legal option I'm not aware of?

Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: Discussed in regards to Julian. Kiera attempts it but ultimately can't go through with, then realizes that her near-miss may in fact have inspired him to become what she remembers (which it did).
Did it necessarily recreate the Stable Time Loop? Kiera cut short a serial killer's work in 2013, saving some 30+ lives - that alone must needs create a butterfly effect downstream.
On top of that, all the "flashbacks" we see in the show are to the pre-time travel timeline, and we do not see what Julian says to his followers (as of S2 Ep 9) - so for all we know he chose a different way to achieve his goals... but then all he knows of his future is distorted glimpses given him by people with an agenda (Ingram, Valentine) or someone who has no knowledge of the truth of pre-2050 history (Kiera).
Does anyone know who the actress is that plays Emily, Alec's incipient love interest?

Thanks. I kept thinking "Geez, I know that girl from somewhere!" Never could place her, but now I remember seeing her in Capria. :)
About that Mole...
The audience is also shown an interesting vignette involving Gardiner in which he expresses his distates for a "CEO" to be giving instructions to a government agency. Given that Liber8 appeals to people with such left-wing sympathies, even after various very outrageously heinous acts, it's not an unreasonable supposition for him to be one. Kiera just doesn't know this yet.
Can a Canadian judge really take a case away from the jury in the middle of a trial and deliver a verdict on his own, as shown in the episode Second Degree? Anyone know if that's a real possibility, or an example for Artistic License – Law?
