What is the difference between a mistrial and a request for a new trial?

A mistrial occurs before the end of the trial, usually caused by improper responses from a witness, improper questions from an attorney or some statement or action in the presence of the jury that prejudices the jury. A mistrial also occurs if the jury is unable to reach a verdict. If a judge declares a mistrial then the trial is finished. A new trial with a new jury usually follows at a later date. A motion for a new trial may be filed by a defense attorney after a defendant has been found guilty at the completion of the original trial. The motion for a new trial is usually based on a defense attorney's perception of an error committed by the judge in the original trial.


How many jury can make you not guilty?

Unless there is a mistrial or a new trial is ordered after a conviction is appealed, there is only one trial per defendant per set of charges. An acquittal (finding of "not guilty") cannot be appealed. This is the same whether the trial is heard by a judge (a bench trial) or a jury.

What happens if the judges on court of appeals decide a trial was unfair?

Actually a court of appeals cannot decide that. A court of appeals can only decide whether or not the trial court correctly followed procedures and existing legal precedence. It is entirely possible for procedures and legal precedence to be completely unfair (they have been many times) but if the trial court properly followed them, the court of appeals must support the trial court's decision. If the court of appeals decides that the trial court failed to follow procedures and/or existing legal precedent, then the case must be retried in a trial court.
