Only the state's attorney or District attorney has discetion to throw out cases. As for review and overturning the prior ones, there is a chance that the state/govt will review those cases and decide what action to take, however, they are not required by law to do it. if you believe your are one of those cases then you should make a motion or petition for a new trial or hearing. I would retain a lawyer who can review the file and evidence and decide whether this is worth pursuing. I am not sure whether these cases will be reviewed/overturned simply based on this coming to light, however, they may take action later down the road. it will take time for all this to happen. so if you want to get action now, you need to hire a lawyer.
