On 20 June 1967 Muhammad Ali was convicted for refusing the Vietnam Draft. The judge handed down the maximum sentence to Cassius Clay (as they insisted upon calling him in court): five-years in a federal penitentiary and a $10,000 fine. The Supreme Court overturned Ali’s conviction in 1971 after the consensus on the war had changed profoundly.
