Please can someone settle a argument we have at work. In 1967 Cassius Clay,
(before becoming Mohammed Ail) was sentenced to five years imprisonment for
draft evasion.
Can you confirm that he did or did not serve any of this sentence.
He did no time. "The Supreme Court found the government had failed to properly specify why Ali's application had been denied, thereby requiring the conviction to be overturned. A unanimous decision (8–0), "the court said the record shows that [Ali's] beliefs are founded on tenets of the Muslim religion as he understands them." from wikipedia(before becoming Mohammed Ail) was sentenced to five years imprisonment for
draft evasion.
Can you confirm that he did or did not serve any of this sentence.
