The answer depends on whether the case was tried in the state or federal court system, but under both systems the case is appeal to an intermediate appellate court. In the federal judiciary, most cases are first appealed to the US Court of Appeals Circuit Court with jurisdiction over the trial court that originally heard the case. Under certain circumstances, a case may be appealed directly from a US District Court (trial court) to the US Supreme Court, but this is rare.
The Court of Appeals.
The Court of Appeals.
The judiciary, otherwise known as The Supreme Court of the United States.
Only the prosecutor, the defendant, respondant, or their attorney(s) can appeal the findings of the trial court to the Court of Appeals.
It means that, on appeal, the original verdict was declared null and void. The case is then sent back to the lower court to be re-tried, or the charges can be dropped.
Their job - is to review cases that have already been tried. This is often done at the request of the defendant - who wants to present new evidence.

An appeal will reexamine the evidence and the argument made.
The Judicial BranchThat would still be the Judicial branch of government.The Circuit Court of Appeals would hear the initial appeal and their decision is available for further appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court.
The case is tried in a trial court - If the outcome is not satisfactory to one of the parties to the case, it may appealed to the Court of Appeals. The Appeals Court will review the case and IF THEY WISH TO ACCEPT IT for review, they will consider the case and render a decision on the question contained in the appeal. If that appeal is not satisfactory to one of the parties in the case, that ruling may be appealed, yet again, to the Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court chooses to accept the case, they, too, will hear the case and render a decision. The Supreme Court's decision is the final word and there is no higher appeal.
Judicial ReviewThe courts may only exercise judicial review if the agency's action or decision is relevant to a case being tried or reviewed on appeal.
