Ind. Courts - "Delaware prosecutor reconstructs the record to comply with new rules"
From the Muncie Star-Press today, a story by Rick Yencer begins:
New rules governing the seizure and forfeiture of money and property from criminal defendants are causing Delaware County Prosecutor Mark McKinney to reconstruct records from dozens of cases in which the Muncie-Delaware County Drug Task Force took and spent money in violation of state law.McKinney summoned more than 40 Muncie police officers, Delaware County sheriff's deputies and other law enforcement officers last week to provide case work and fill out forms determining law enforcement costs for those investigations.
Many of those cases involve abandoned property affidavits used by Muncie police that funneled money and other assets from criminal defendants to city DTF accounts.
