IMHO: The Manhattan DA objective in the present case before Judge Juan Merchan, is to take whatever is the result, to the Supreme Court of New York State.

No need for Bragg to take the case the Supreme Court of New York State, for it is already pending in that court.

In New York State:

Supreme Court = highest trial court
Supreme Court, Appellate Division = intermediate appeals court
Court of Appeals = highest court of appeals in the state
