1 He said he didn't understand why there would be a lot of cards with no initials
because they all wanted credit for cards. He reiterated that if they didn't keep up
2 their numbers they would be fired.
3 I asked Mitchell about Oebwa's knowledge about what was going on. He said she didn't
know. Mitchell said he never told Oebwa, nor did he tell Moore, what they were doing.

Jayson Woods interview
5 July 13, 2007
I traveled to the area around Columbia Maryland, in Howard County, and interviewed
6 Jayson Woods in a rental car in the parking lot outside of his workplace after he
finished working.
7
Woods agreed to a tape recorded interview. A transcript in attached to the case file.
8 The following is a summary.
9 Woods came out to my car a little before 1600 hours. He got in the passenger seat. I
showed him my identification to confirm who I was. I explained that he was not under
10 arrest. I explained that I did not have arrest powers in Maryland. I explained that
he could get out of the car at anytime. Woods said he understood all of this. He
11 said he wanted to talk to me.
12 I asked Woods if I could tape record our conversation. He said it was fine. I then
started a tape and taped our conversation.
13
In summary, Woods said that he worked for ACORN in 2006. He said that he worked with
14 Tina Johnson (his girlfriend/fiancee at the time), Brianna Debwa, Clifton Mitchell,
Ryan Olson, Kendra Thill and Robert Greene. He identified these people's photos
15 (which I showed him), but he did not always know their names, and he did not
necessarily work with all of them but did recognized them.
16
Woods explained how he was hired and trained.
17
Woods said that in Pierce County Mitchell took him to a homeless shelter and told him
18 that they could just make up cards and use the shelter address.
19 He said this was carried on into King County, where they used several shelter
addresses. Woods said that they used the shelter addresses so much that they
20 memorized them. He said they never went to any of the shelters.
21 Woods then admitted that in King County they made up all of the cards. He said he was
particularly fast at completing cards, explaining why he has such a large number of
22 cards attributed to him.
23 He said he would often sit at home, smoke marijuana, and fill out cards.
