When there is a verdict of conviction in which it appears to the court that the jury has mistaken the law, the presiding judge may explain to the jury his reasons and order them to reconsider their verdict. If, after reconsideration, they return the same verdict, it shall be accepted by the court. Nothing contained herein shall apply to a verdict of acquittal which shall always be accepted by the court.
