12. He admitted yesterday that he bought more drugs than he could ever use
...At least use by himself.

In any other situation, with any other defendant, they would have already been charged with drug trafficking, merely on the basis of the quantity of drugs, and the amount of money involved.

And to the above: they DO seize property even just for possession. They do not need to prove sales in order for forfeiture to occur.

In fact, they don't even need to prove that a crime was committed -- you can be acquitted of any charges, and STILL have your stuff seized. You have to actually go to another trial to get your stuff back, not for you, for your stuff -- your stuff will actually be on trial, and you need to get it a lawyer (the court documents will actually say something like '1996 Chevrolet Caprice vs the State of Florida').
