Birth-year sources
- School of the Americas Watch prisoner roster — identifies Spokane teacher Paddy Inman as 52 at the November 17, 1997 action.
- Lynette Inman memorial guest book — in a September 5, 2020 entry, her brother Paddy recalls their family and says he will turn 75 in a couple of months. The two dated statements establish 1945; no unsupported month or day was assigned.
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 describes his Spokane teaching career, education work with disadvantaged students, and leadership in community-service organizations. These records concern a request for clemency; they do not establish that a pardon or commutation was granted.
