Ali case argued as bias in draft evasion appeal
The chief lawyer for Muhammad Ali told the Supreme Court that the government’s case against the heavyweight champion is colored by prejudice toward Ali and his Muslim beliefs. Chauncey Eskridge said Griswold’s arguments show bias, while Griswold denied the charge. Ali’s draft conviction has spanned appeals since 1967, with notable questions about misrepresentation to a selective service board. The session lasted about an hour with Justice Marshall recusing himself.
