Support grows for pardon of Vietnam draft protester
In Albany Georgia a federal judge’s 18 month sentence for Preston King’s draft evasion long ago led him to flee to Europe where he has lived since fearing arrest. Supporters including Senator Max Cleland and NAACP back a presidential pardon to allow his return and attend a courthouse dedication named for his brother. King, now at Lancaster University England, says a pardon would end a four decade conflict with justice.
