An Inclusive Litany
10/26/92
Due to a technicality in forfeiture law that allows governments to
claim that it is suing the item of property allegedly used in a
crime and not the owner of the property, forfeiture cases have come
to take on peculiar-sounding titles such as
U.S.
v. 1960 Bags of
Coffee,
U.S.
v. 9.6 Acres of Land and Lake, and
U.S.
v. 667 Bottles
of Wine.
