Heimlich before the draft in his junior year. “I have taken responsibility for my conduct when I was a teenager,” Heimlich wrote. “… I understand that many people now see me differently, but I hope that I can eventually be judged for the person I am today.” Doesn't get drafted. Heimlich before the draft in his senior year. I didn't actually do it. So what changed in that year that caused him to write a statement saying he did it to a year later saying he didn't do it? If you're so adamant that you didn't actually do what you were accused of, why say you did it and then do an about face a year later?
