<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2136393, member: 28107&quot;]The jury verdict and declaratory judgment were vacated, but that is not the same as never existing as it could be reinstated upon further review.&nbsp; I presumed this thread was to discuss the likely legal trajectory of this case.&nbsp; As such, the verdict is relevant as I think the odds of reversal and reinstatement of the verdict are decent if en banc review is granted.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to issue preservation, I think the government preserved all that should be necessary to secure reversal as long as the right judges are there.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is an interesting thought, but I would think the issue would be res judicata.&nbsp; If the Langbords have an order giving them possession, I don&#039;t see a criminal case going anywhere either. Of course, the government enjoys sovereign immunity from tort claims, so you never know what might happen.&nbsp; I wonder why the Mint didn&#039;t just melt the pieces immediately when turned over?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
