The verdict from a federal trial court can appeal in a federal court. Many cases within the federal court are civil cases rather than criminal, same as for appeals.

The supreme court can only have original jurisdiction over a criminal case only if it involves a crime brought by another state against the united states.

In closing having rights and knowing your rights is a great part of life, meaning to say you cannot be made a fool out of or be convicted of something you did not do because whether you guilty or innocent you have rights and within those rights you can appeal.
