Biography

Pat Robertson was individually named in the Good Friday April 20, 1984 blood-and-cross protest at K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base. Both were actually jailed for violating probation from previous Sawyer arrests, remained in Marquette County Jail at May 9 publication, and refused offered recognizance release. This establishes multi-week actual custody. An exact first jail-admission day is not separately printed, and May 29 was only prospective. The former 1983 Williams International detention is a distinct episode.

The source expressly says this individually named K. I. Sawyer April 20, 1984 defendant had already spent 21 days in jail before receiving a ten-day sentence. Twenty-one is an actual documented subtotal, not a proven complete lifetime or case total. The nominal ten days and unstated final release are not substituted for actual custody.

The contemporary update individually reports actual release from jail May 10, 1984 and a guilty plea that day in the K. I. Sawyer case. The separately documented 21 days already served are preserved; the release report is not used to substitute a shorter calendar count or invent the first admission.
