They are empowered to review, and if necessary alter, the rulings of lower courts. When a defendant (or plaintiff) feels that there has been a miscarriage of justice, they can appeal to a court of appeal.
If the court agrees to hear the appeal (they do NOT accept for review, every case sent to them) they determine whether the correct law was applied to the facts at trial, and whether that law was applied correctly. If they believe it was, the case is "affirmed", meaning that the trial court's determination will stand. If not, the case is "remanded" back to the trial court with directions to the trial court to correct the deficiencies which were discovered.
This is not to say that, once the trial court corrects any error(s) the appellate court believed were made, the ultimate outcome of the original case will be any different.
