Explain how a criminal case can go from district court to an appeals court and then the supreme court?

Criminal cases heard at the Federal District Court level may be "appealed" to one of the Federal Appellate Courts based on an error that the District Court made. The Federal Appellate courts must hear cases appealed from the District Courts (in other words, you are guaranteed at least one appeal), however the Supreme Court is not required to hear cases appealed from the Appellate Court. After an unfavorable ruling at the Appellate Court level, the criminal defendant (or the United States/Prosecution) may seek a writ of certiori in order to appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will grant or deny the writ of certiori depending on several factors in the case (how notable is this case, is it a good "vehicle," is this an important issue, is it very contentious, is there a circuit split, is the decision patently wrong?). If the Court grants certiori, that means that they will hear it. If it denies the writ, the Appellate Court's judgment is final. Keep in mind that only a very small potion of cases make it to the Supreme Court level (less than one percent), so the cases that the Court decides to hear are always notable.

What government bodies decides if someone breaks a law on the parish level?

At the parish level, the determination of whether someone has broken a law is typically made by the local district court or parish court system, which handles criminal and civil cases. Additionally, law enforcement agencies, such as the sheriff's office or local police, investigate alleged violations and can issue citations or arrest individuals. The local district attorney or prosecuting attorney then decides whether to pursue charges based on the evidence presented. Ultimately, the judicial process will determine guilt or innocence based on the law.
