Man stole person's identity and sent him to prison
Ғылым және технология
This man stole another person's identity, and used it for 30 years.
His victim spent 428 days in prison and 147 days in a mental hospital because of it.
Matthew David Keirans and William Donald Woods worked at street food in 1988
Kierans carefully learned about Wood’s family history, and obtained his birth certificate and I-9 form.

being that this WHOLE situation was solved with a run of the mill DNA test, something that's been commercially available for 15 years, and can be processed within 2 days... i would probably sue the police, the DA office, and any officials.

This whole story is BS. He clearly states that he was arrested in 2023, yet claims he served 428 days in prison and 147 days in a Mental Hospital. Now I am no math genius, but no one goes to Prison until they are convicted of a crime. Jail yes, but not prison. So we are expected to believe that the victim was arrested, tried, convicted, sentenced, served 428 days in prison, then 147 days in a Mental Hospital ALL SINCE 2023??? What year is it again?? How many days were in 2023 anyway?

@@nigelstrangeways7330 I never said anything of the sort. Stealing this mans identity was obviously wrong, and I hope the offending party faces steep consequences. However, they did not steal his freedom and liberty, the state did. What's worse is the state actors that stole his freedom are unlikely to face any kind of real consequences for their miscarriage of justice. It was once said "it is better that 100 guilty men go free than one innocent be punished". But in the name of convenience and exspeedience. This man was denied his freedom by the active effort of multiple state actors, and that should disgust you.
