In this case it's known as an appeal, there isn't really another word. When a person who has been convicted decides to appeal to a higher court for consideration, both sides usually submit written arguments to either uphold or overturn the decision. The court then reviews the case and depending on the state, the court can make a decision outright or a new trial can be given. In the case of a person who has been acquitted (found innocent), the prosecution is FORBIDDEN to appeal the decision as it would violate the double jeopardy clause of the US Constitution.
