APRIL FOOLS DAY: The third circuit court of appeals hands down United states v. Sandini:

       The innocence of the owner is irrelevant.  It is enough that the property was involved in a violation to which forfeiture attaches.

       The property is the defendant in the case, and the burden of proof rests on the party alleging ownership.”
