    How can he get the case he pleaded guilty to overturned? Can you appeal a case in which you plead guilty?

      There are certain elements that can be appealed. Like the sentence, any constitutional rights issues, etc.

      You can’t appeal the verdict, because it’s an admission of guilt. But there are plenty of other elements you can appeal.
