Silver Spring Three
The Silver Spring Three were inspired by actions such as the Baltimore Four and the Catonsville Nine. At the time of the raid Les Bayless was out on bail for draft resistance. His trial was presided over by Judge Roszel Cathcart Thomsen (of the Catonsville Nine trial), who gave him a three-year sentence on top of his five-year sentence for draft evasion. Michael Bransome was sentenced to three years in federal prison, spent eight months when prior to a furlough to his home in D.C. he received a death threat from two violent inmates and fled to Canada in 1970. He received political asylum in Sweden in 1971.
