It depends on what the Supreme Court opinion says. The case is remanded to the Superior Court to do something which the Superior Court did incorrectly the first time. I assume you are asking about a criminal matter. If it is remanded for a new trial, correct; the defendant is not considered guilty of the charges considered by the Superior Court, unless re-trial again results in a conviction.
