In New York they call their trial courts "Supreme Courts". Merchan is actually a trial court judge. If he happens to be the trial court judge of a very specific area of New York then he will end up with all these cases because of where they happen.
Above the trial courts is the appellate division and then the final court in the state of New York is the Court of Appeals.
Trump can be a felon and still elected president. Trump could be in a jail cell and STILL elected president.
However, if he becomes president his appeals could be fast-tracked past the New York Court of Appeals and straight to the Supreme Court. This is very rare, but the SC would likely take it due to the risk of a constitutional crisis.
