Birth-year source
- SOA Watch prisoners-of-conscience chronology — identifies Dan Sage as 70 among the November 1997 Fort Benning defendants, supporting 1927 as his birth year.
The April 27, 1998 petition by clemency counsel Debra K. Hannula places this defendant among the January 1998 Fort Benning illegal-re-entry convictions before Judge Elliott, carrying six months and a $3,000 fine. Its January 22 trial/sentencing account differs by one day from an earlier January 21 news report, so the new sentencing field uses month precision rather than choosing an unresolved day. The individual biography confirms March 23, 1998 prison entry. The biography identifies him as a retired Syracuse University professor of special education and administration and author of four textbooks in that field. These records concern a request for clemency; they do not establish that a pardon or commutation was granted.
