Nagler Convicted on Draft Evasion In NYC Trial
Eric Nagler, after 414 years in Canada, returned to the United States and faced U S District Court Judge Anthony Travia who found him guilty of draft evasion and sentenced him to three years. An appeals panel later overturned the conviction, citing improper denial of conscientious objector status. Nagler, a folk musician then living on a farm, spent about ten months and more than $4,500 in legal fees for the case.
