Topics
@旁白 :本集讲述了阿里因拒服兵役案的经历,从最初的定罪到最终的无罪释放,以及这一事件对美国社会的影响。 @阿里律师Eskridge :我需要说服法官,阿里的定罪受到了非法窃听的影响,如果成功,阿里将获得自由。我将尽一切努力确保这位世界上最著名的拳击手保持自由。 @法官Ingram :阿里与马丁·路德·金的谈话内容无害,不会影响司法部对阿里的豁免建议。阿里的宗教信仰有反白的记录,这可能影响了司法部的判断。 @马西亚诺 :我钦佩阿里,很遗憾世界无法看到这位历史上最伟大的拳击手之一在巅峰时期比赛。阿里内心深处仍然热爱拳击,他无法否认这一点。 @一位黑人学生 :阿里住在费城富人区,背叛了黑人社区,是一个卖国贼。 @美国检察长Griswold :阿里是真诚的,但他反对战争的理由是政治性的,而不是道德或宗教性的,这不能作为逃避兵役的有效理由。 @大法官Harlan :我最初认为阿里违反了法律,应该承担后果。但我后来意识到自己误解了伊斯兰教,并改变了投票。 @大法官Brennan :如果最高法院不审理此案,公众会非常愤怒,这会让最高法院看起来懦弱。 @大法官Stewart :我们可以利用司法部向征兵委员会提供误导性信息的这一事实,来推翻阿里的定罪,而不会造成广泛的先例。
