Biography

Jim Snyder was physically released September 30, 1985, a few hours after Jim Albertini’s separate bail hearing. The Hawaii Nuclear Free Zone update expressly reports Snyder had served forty-two days in jail; the remainder of his ninety-day sentence was stayed pending appeal. Albertini’s bail conditions and original arrest are not Snyder’s jail-admission date. No unprinted admission is back-calculated from forty-two days.

Unconfirmed physical admission and release dates remain unknown. No nominal sentence, future date or historical directory is used to assert present imprisonment.

The Hawaii report individually says Jim Snyder was sentenced August 19, 1985 to two years with all but three months suspended. It confirms current OCCC imprisonment, but does not independently date first intake. The later corroborated September 30 physical release and forty-two actual days remain unchanged.
