Rule 5-614.1. Judicial acquittal notwithstanding guilty verdict.

A. Motion. When the defendant has been found guilty, the court on motion of the defendant, or on its own motion, may enter judgment of acquittal if the court finds the evidence insufficient to sustain a guilty verdict. B. Time for making motion for acquittal. A defendant may move for a judgment of acquittal, or renew such a motion, within fourteen (14) days after the jury returns a guilty verdict or after the court discharges the jury, whichever is later. C. Procedure; hearing. When the defendant has been found guilty by a jury or by the court, a motion for acquittal may be dictated into the record and may be argued immediately after the return of the verdict. That motion may be in writing and filed with the clerk. That motion, written or oral, shall fully set forth the grounds on which it is based. D. Waiver. Failure to make a motion for acquittal shall not constitute a waiver of any error which has been properly brought to the attention of the court.
