No, Ex post Facto doesn't work that way. Under ex post facto you cannot be prosecuted for an act which was not yet an offense against the law at the time you committed it (i.e.: the law making it an offense was passed AFTER you committed the act).
It does not apply to laws that were invalidated or amended after you committed the act.
Explanation: If the law was in effect at the time you committed it, then what you did at the time was already declared unlawful.
However, if you thnk you might have a case, you could tryto use this circumstance as a basis on which to file an appeal of your sentence.
