In a hearing that lasted less than 15 minutes, Judge William C. Ryan said he was 'more than happy' to sign the order vacating the conviction, calling the case 'astounding.' 'The word that comes to mind is Kafkaesque, out of the novels of Franz Kafka,' Ryan said.
'I'm happy, because I knew I was innocent anyway,' Woods said in a call afterward. 'I knew I was innocent.'
Keirans admitted in a plea agreement to stealing Woods' identity in 1988... Instead, he obtained employment, insurance, a Social Security number, driver's licenses, titles, loans and credit using Woods' identity.
