Trial courts hear the entire criminal case including the testimony of all witnesses and view the case evidence as it presented in support of the case. Appelate courts examine ONLY the records of the trial case. They hear no testimony and view no eviddence. They decide only technical matters of law and its application, and issue rulings based on whether the original trial court erred (or didn't err) on any procedure(s). Trial courts are presided over by a single trial judge, Appeals courts usually consist of a panel consisting of 3 or more judges.
