Biography

Sarah Tosi, from Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, was twenty at the Camden 28 indictment. A 1969 graduate of Immaculate Heart Academy and National Honor Society president, she had been a district coordinator in the 1968 McCarthy campaign, attended Wellesley College, and was active in Boston's Paulist Center and in Dorchester community work. Later accounts identify her among the drivers supporting the Camden operation rather than those inside the draft-board office. She was severed from the main trial and her charges were dismissed after the May 1973 acquittals.

The FBI descriptive processing report for the August 22, 1971 Camden arrests records Sarah Tosi’s birth date as 1951-11-16 and birthplace as Teaneck, New Jersey. This replaces an approximate birth year with the report’s explicit day. The report is cited for identification information, without adopting its allegations of criminal conduct.

Case

Charges: Conspiracy and destruction of Selective Service records
Arrested: Aug 22, 1971
Incarcerated: Aug 22, 1971
Released: Sep 3, 1971
Sentence: Never tried. Severed from the seventeen-defendant trial; the charges were dismissed after the jury acquitted all seventeen on May 20, 1973. The FBI individual custody summary records arrest on August 22, 1971, a same-day hearing before U.S. Magistrate Charles L. Rudd and remand to U.S. Marshal custody in lieu of $5,000 bail. It records physical release on September 3, 1971, after posting ten percent cash or security on a $5,000 bond set by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia on September 3. The bond-setting date is distinct from the actual release date. Source: FBI Camden/MEDBURG file NW 68262, DocId 32989529, PDF page 145.
