Civil forfeiture ruling sparks double jeopardy clash
The Supreme Court split over civil forfeiture, with Chief Justice Rehnquist defending the practice and Justices arguing it risks punishing multiple times for a single offense. The decision centers on whether forfeiture constitutes punishment under the Double Jeopardy Clause, citing cases like Austin and Arsery and detailing Section 881 and 981 in narcotics cases. The majority, joined by OConnor, Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer, rejected treating forfeiture as punishment, while Scalia and Thomas argued jeopardy limits apply only to successive prosecutions. Civil forfeiture remains an attractive tool for the government despite lower-verifying standards.
