You need to speak with the attorney who represented him at trial. There are exceptions to the rules against hearsay exclusions. If such testimony is admissible, then it is equal to any other evidence as can support a conviction. Without seeing what the actual testimony was, none of the attorneys on this site can say much as to any evidence you think was fake.

"Convicted" means the case is over. His remedy now is either a motion for new trial or an appeal. Hire an attorney local to you that does those.
