   Don't know canuckian law system.   
   But in the states, when SCOTUIS rules, that's it. You're done.   
   When SCOTUS denies a case to be heard, and says it's up to the appeals   
   court, then all that means is that SCOTUS may not have jurisdiction in the   
   case.   
      
   Generally, SCOTUS wouldn't hear assault cases anyway unless there was   
   something that may have integrally effected the constitutionality of the   
   event.   
      
   Without some better details, it would be hard to say which court would most   
   likely hear the case.   
   Stateside, if the case involved purely state laws, SCOTUS would not hear   
   the case.
