Conscription Violators Pardoned Fugitives Dismissed in WV
A federal judge dismissed charges against six West Virginia residents accused of violating the Vietnam era Selective Service Act amid President Carter’s blanket pardon. Names include Charles Grant Loew, Charles Frank Hastings, Robert Francis Luce, Earle Ralph Nestmann, Daniel Frank Phelan, and Forest Alan Forsyth. The ruling followed Carter’s pardon and came as a Charleston Daily Mail poll showed broad local opposition to the pardon. Public reaction cited includes patriotism concerns and comparisons to past presidential pardons.
