ASSET FORFEITURE

1/ Two sisters started a business breeding pitbulls, and after a successful first year they took their earnings and tried to re-invest it in their business. They sent the money to a buyer in California who was to scout 2 dogs and purchase them for the business, but the police intercepted the money. Claiming it smelled like weed (not verifiable, doesn't show up on camera, fades over time) and seized the money

3/ The prosecution also alleges exculpatory evidence was denied to the defense. The conviction rested on a single eye witness, who didn't even get the color of the vehicle correct and police testimony. We should seriously stop accepting the police departments version of events as fact!
The three men were released from prison in October 2022.
