‘Civil forfeiture is an end-run around constitutional rights and should be abolished.’ DITTO
All we ask is due process equally applied. Is that too much?
There should be a way to freeze such assets for a specific time until the charges can be subject to due process. Otherwise by the time the trial rolls around and the conviction is obtained there will be no assets to forfeit. Come to think of it, do real big-time criminals own anything in their own names anyway?
