• The Verdict is Voided: The defendant is no longer legally considered convicted of that crime, wiping away the immediate judgment. [1]

• The Case is Usually Remanded: Most of the time, the supreme court sends the case back ("remands" it) to the lower trial court for further proceedings. [1, 2]

• Possibility of a New Trial: The local prosecutor can often choose to hold a brand-new trial, fix the original errors, or drop the charges entirely.
