<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2133335, member: 66&quot;]But since the government didn&#039;t file the forfeiture case, the coins should have been returned in 2005 and the case never should have gone to trial.&nbsp; Since it shouldn&#039;t have gone to trial the results of the trial would not have occurred, so the judgement was vacated.</p><p><br /></p><p>And as far as the government not believing they had to file under CAFRA because they believed the coins were government property, that doesn&#039;t matter.&nbsp; Under the law if an appeal of the seizure is made the government HAS to file for the forfeiture within 90 days or return the property.&nbsp; They don&#039;t have a choice on whether or not to file.&nbsp; They missed the deadline, they didn&#039;t request an extension of the deadline, so the law says they HAVE to give the coins back.&nbsp; (It also says that they can make no further attempts to seize them.)&nbsp; That was what the court decided, the government must obey the law and return the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
