This is a case of an "immaculate conviction". The convicted felon needs to recall exactly how this state of affairs came about and then see if he can find an attorney to help him.

Re: Felony and arrest
If you were already convicted and failed to raise specific defenses that might have been available to you at the time, you probably cannot get the conviction "thrown out" based on those available defenses. There are some exceptions to that rule which can be reviewed by an experienced appellate attorney.
