Recent VICTORIES Against Civil Forfeiture

Brian Moore and Cristal Starling both lost their money to civil forfeiture, despite neither being charged with a crime. Both of them challenged those forfeitures and both of them got their money back. But only one is being made whole. We’re here with IJ senior attorneys Dan Alban and Paul Sherman to discuss two cases under the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act---a law that’s supposed to protect innocent victims of wrongful forfeitures, and why it doesn’t go far enough.
