Biography
Sheila Parks was a former college teacher based in Medford, Massachusetts at the time of Trident II Pruning Hooks. No further sourceable biographical detail was found.
February 1986 verdict and intervening freedom
The Trident II Pruning Hooks report names Greg Boertje, John Heid, Roger Ludwig, Sheila Parks, Suzanne Schmidt and George Veasey as convicted February 4, 1986 before Judge Thomas Needham of possession of burglary tools, trespass and malicious destruction of property. It expressly says all six were free pending future March 31 sentencing. Thus initial April 1985 detention and later sentenced custody cannot be counted as one uninterrupted interval. Greg’s brief courtroom lockup ended when trial resumed, not a separately established multiday stay. Any existing separately verified later sentence and actual discharge must be preserved; this issue alone supplies neither a first later admission nor final discharge.

Initial detention, bail gap and later imprisonment distinguished
The contemporary May 1985 original dates this action and initial bond detention to April 18, not April 17. The July 1985 original expressly names Sheila Parks and Suzanne Schmidt as physically released on recognizance May 18, 1985; Parks’s own footnote independently describes one month in Cranston and being out awaiting trial. That initial thirty-elapsed-day stay is preserved in its own record. The March 1986 account says all six defendants were free pending sentencing; the July follow-up confirms the sentence was actually imposed March 31, 1986 and Parks was subsequently serving it. Her first later physical readmission day remains unknown, so April 1985 is not its admission date. The existing January 1987 release month is retained as previously stored historical information; the exact legacy January 14 day is not corroborated by these inspected pages and is no longer displayed as exact. No 637-day continuous total or assumed one-year actual service is retained.
