Generally speaking, most lower court cases do not reach a court of appeals. One factor is cost. Even if a lawyer is sure a court of appeals will review a case, that may not be a certainty. Then, how the appeals courts will rule is also generally not known. An appeals court may review a lower court's decision and determine that proper, lawful procedures were not taken by the prosecutor and perhaps the lower court case judge made a serious procedural error. The response of the court may be to overturn the case's verdict or confirm the verdict. Also, the appeals court may decide, after a proper review that the case does not meet state standards for a review.

Technically no, because all states have autonomous jurisdiction. A US District Court decision is persuasive authority over a state court. A US District Court is a federal court, not a state court.

The decision from the Virginia Court of Appeals, however, becomes a binding authority over the state court.
