Can a verdict be overturned because the judge didn't grant the defense a continuance?
It is theoretically possible. It is hard to imagine, given the amount of evidence in the case, that the defense did have time to truly properly prepare for trial. However, if the verdicts were overturned for that reason, it does not mean he would walk, it would just mean he would get a new trial after the defense did have time to properly prepare.

When a law is amended can a prior guilty verdict be overturned?
Not necessarily. Whatever it dealt with WAS the law at the time you chose to commit the act. The fact that it is now overturned or nullified, may give you 'standing' to appeal your past conviction - but don't get your hopes up too high. Unless the law was overturned because it was found to be unconstitutional, the fact is that you DID commit an act that WAS illegal at the time and were tried, convicted and sentenced for it. You should probably consult with an attorney for assistance and advice.
