Justice Department Favored Clay in Draft Case
An ACLU attorney says the Justice Department overruled a federal hearing officer by denying Cassius Clay conscientious objector status after a prior recommendation. Clay, convicted last June for refusing induction, heads an ACLU team appealing the case, with prior boards in Louisville and Houston. The brief argues the DOJ treated Nation of Islam as political, not religious, biasing the decision. Clay was sentenced in Houston to five years’ probation and a $10,000 fine.
