How does one vacate a sentence that was already served?

there's no time machine, but at least the charges are removed from the poor man's record.

he should probably try to seek damages from the state for his wrongful conviction (and get his lawyer disbarred for grossly incompetent counsel!)

from https://www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/halifax/appeal-court-qu... :

  Klayme’s trial counsel was Peter Planetta, who no longer practises law. 

A quick search shows that his trial lawyer/counsel resigned from the bar several months after the defendant was sentenced in the first trial.

[edit] Since his old lawyer wasn't practicing anymore, Klayme got a new lawyer who discovered the missing underscore.

He's lucky. In the USA a lot of appellate options are not available if you are no longer incarcerated. You are basically out of luck, the conviction is a lock-in.
