Alaska Federal Court Grants Soldier Conscientious Objector Status

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
In Barnes v. Geren, (D AK, Sept. 22, 2008), an Alaska federal district court held that the conscientious objection claim of Army Pfc. Michael Barnes should be granted. His claim was rooted in his nondenominational Christian faith, morals and beliefs developed through six months of daily prayer and scripture reading after he was in the Army.
