Note the real reason for this "prosecution." Follow the money. The poor slob had assets that totaled over 1/2 a million bucks and the State used its confiscatory authority to snatch it. His home and business were easy money to fill the coffers of law enforcement which is constantly being underfunded by the liberal legislatures. A State must have enough money to fund social welfare programs, the infrastructure be damned.

The poor slob in this case was a perfect victim - former criminal record, small amount of marijuana, disposable/accessible assets...

That sucks, if he sues,the taxpayers pay for it.He is justified to sue imo,I just wish the guy could sue the prosecutor(POS)

Typically, one doesn’t even need to file criminal charges in order to seize assets, and keep them. Asset seizure is a civil matter and requires a preponderance of evidence rather than beyond a reasonable doubt as is required for a criminal coviction.
