Biography

Sally Bell pleaded no contest at the September 23, 1985 arraignment for trespass after the Hiroshima Day protest at the Navy submarine-listening post south of Eureka. The judge sent her to jail with a thirty-day sentence, and the contemporary update expressly says she actually served twenty days. Paul Encimer and Bob Martel’s future trials are not assigned to Bell, and no unprinted release day is back-calculated.

Calculated release date for the stay beginning September 23, 1985: October 13, 1985, adding the recorded completed custody duration of 20 days with elapsed-calendar-day counting. This is a calculated date from the recorded admission and duration, not a separately documented physical-discharge date.
