Generally, under the regular court system, if a higher court overturns a verdict on a procedural issue (which is what this would be) the case is returned to the lower court to be retried (presumably, properly).
The problem is that this is military court, not the court us Joe Schmoe civilians fall under, so I really have no idea how the appeals process would work; I'd have to check. The military court system is entirely separate from civilian jurisdictions, and my work, obviously, deals solely with civilian court.
I could go on a long rant about why the Nuremberg model would be better for this circumstance but I've only had one cup of coffee today.
