Best Answer

Any Court of Appeals can render a verdict on a case. However, the defendant can still appeal to the Supreme Court. However, the chances of the Supreme Court hearing the case are smaller.

NOTE: Trials and courts never find defendants INNOCENT!! They can only find them Guilty or Not Guilty.

Additional Answer:

Appellate courts do not "discover if you are innocent or guilty." Determination of innocence or guilt is done only at the trial court level either by a jury or by the judge in a bench trial where the defendant has waived his right to a jury trial or where no jury trial is required. Appellate courts simply determine whether the trial court verdict of "guilty" was proper or not, and if so, it will affirm that finding. No appellate court can review a finding of "not guilty."
