Appellate court
It depends on whether or not he gets up with the ball and makes an accurate throw, but if he misses it completely, there is no error called and it is a hit.
It is called an error!
Court reversal refers to the process in which a higher court overturns or invalidates a decision made by a lower court. This typically occurs when the higher court concludes that the lower court made an error in interpreting or applying the law. When a court reversal occurs, the decision of the higher court becomes the final ruling in the case.
The appellate court reviews the record of the trial and reviews the parties' briefs along with other law, and determines whether the appellant is correct in asserting that the trial court made a legal error.
Mistakes likes these are called "scrivener's errors." The court that hears the traffic case will determine whether the error is material to the violation or incidental and not critical. If the error is material to the offense, the citation will likely be dismissed.
That is the legal term. If a line of questioning in court continues to raise the same objection and the court overrules it, you can ask for a "continuing objection to [description of nature of question/conduct you object to]." If the judge grants it, you're good (as far as preserving error on appeal). If the judge does not grant a continuing objection, you need to keep making it.
The legal doctrine of harmless error is found in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, extensive case law and state statutes. It comes into use when a litigant appeals the decision of a judge or jury, arguing that an errorof law was made at trial that resulted in an incorrect decision or verdict. The appelate court then must decide whether the error was serious enough to strike down the decision made at trial. Review for harmless error involves a complicated test that applies to state and federal laws as well as rules of procedure. If an error is held to be serious, the appellate court is likely to set aside the decision of the trial court and may order a new trial. If it deems the error harmless, the appellate court affirms the lower court's decision. The doctrine of harmless error thus prevents an unnecessary new trial when the error alleged would not have affected the outcome of the original trial.

Regardless of whether the jury or the judge found you guilty, the next thing to do would be to file an appeal with the next higher court.
