Jose Calderon

Exact apprehension date verified

The published primary opinion, United States v. Jose Calderon, 655 F.2d 1037, describes his August 5, 1980 protest at the National Governors' Conference and immediate apprehension by government agents. The arrest date is now day-precision rather than a year placeholder. It confirms the statutory charge, jury conviction and thirty-day sentence. Primary opinion.

The opinion does not establish the day he later entered jail to serve that sentence or his actual release day. Existing September 21, 1981 admission and January sentencing month remain unchanged; no release is calculated by adding thirty days. August 7 appellate decision and September 3 rehearing denial are not prison releases. The initial apprehension is not treated as uninterrupted custody through the later sentence.

A contemporary Workers Viewpoint report identifies a photograph lead concerning his egg-throwing protest. No portrait of the basketball player or an unverified modern namesake has been assigned. Contemporary September 1980 report, page 5: photograph lead.

Contemporary photograph verified

The original Workers Viewpoint, September 1–7, 1980, printed page 5, identifies Jose Calderon in its report on the August 5 egg-throwing protest. The caption identifies the pictured Jose being restrained after the action; the accompanying text identifies him as the Communist Workers Party member at the Denver governors conference. The profile image reproduces that historical photograph, with the surrounding guards retained, without reconstruction or invented detail.

It does not establish his subsequent release date, which remains unknown.
