Clay Again Gets 5-Year Sentence
Cas Slus Clay, the former prizefighter, was resentenced by US District Judge Joe Ingraham to a five year prison term and a $10,000 fine for draft evasion. He will remain free on a $5,000 bond while appealing to the Fifth Circuit. Clay sought draft exemption as a Black Muslim minister and conscientious objector.
