Explanation:

The appeals court or also called Court of Appeals is the second instance, which means that it is the court that will judge the appeals of criminal cases (in this case). Some states have specialized Court of Criminal Appeals others don’t. Usually, the appeals need to be based only on incorrect legal determinations rather than direct evidence or facts. Usually, the appellate courts are restricted to hearing appeals based on matters that were originally brought up before the trial court. The appeal is a right, which means that if a party is unsatisfied with the decision they can appeal that outcome.

i think it can have both positive and negative effects on businesses.

for example:

lets say you own a small business and taxes go up 4% that means it is going to cost your business more money to buy product to sell. but at the same time you make more money from the tax rise.

that is my theory.
