Court Clears Way For Draft Prosecutions
In a 2 1 ruling the 9th U S Circuit upheld the draft registration law and reinstated the indictment of 22 year old David Alan Wayte who argued his case stemmed from his protest. The ruling rejects his claim the government targeted him for protest activity. Attorney General William French Smith pledged more prosecutions and said the decision will be appealed by Wayte’s lawyer.
