How can the feds auction off possessions of a man not convicted of anything?

I saw this on the news this morning. A Judge signed off on it, I'm guessing the evidence is pretty damming.

Hey, OJ was acquitted and everybody knew he did it.

I'm calling dibs on the Geo Tracker. It looks mint!

If he's found Innocent like O.J that $20 grand a month is going to seem cheep! And why did they feel they needed to store them?! Just had to seal his garage with a pad lock and some sort of writ .

My guess is that he doesn't own the garage and the lease/rent is ~$20,000/mo

That guy is more of a hoarder than a collector, not a real gem in the bunch! I do like that Chrysler 300 though.

I was kinda thinking "hoarder" too - I liked the yellowish Riviera and a few others.

Nothing like guilty until proven innocent!

Re: Feds to Auction Massive Car Collection in Utah, With Video

Guilty until proven innocent is true in criminal cases, however, you missed a key line - he fled to Panama. Once you run, that changes the entire scope and nature of the proceedings because they can (and probably will) try him in absentia..... and even if they don't, there are two proceedings (court cases) - a criminal one regarding the indictment, and a civil one regarding the losses - in the civil one, if a defendant runs the plaintiff is entitled to a default judgment and can levy against assets of the defendant. The defendant can redeem his stuff, but would have the burden of proving failure of service or some other major flaw in the plaintiff's case..... when you run, you really put yourself behind the eight ball because you knew of the proceedings, yet chose not to defend. To clarify a bit more, the defendant does not have to be at the civil hearing; he simply must have his representative there..... if he doesn't, then too bad for him.

Simple, no? ;)

Costing the government 20k a month is chicken chit. They just want to rub his nose in it and show their power.

I want that 64 Riviera! The colour is Bamboo Cream and one of my favorite offbeat Buick colours. I wonder if it has a saddle or grey interior.

Leave it to the court system to basically say F you. Things are going to be my way and that's it.
Until he is Proved guilty in a court of law and a judgement has been made, he is still Innocent. There for the government has essentially taken the property of an innocent man regardless of what the crime may be.

...... he fled to Panama..........

I didn't see that at first. Yep, he blew it by running.
I get a kick out of the part about the cars have been modified and super-modified. Translation - some of this stuff has been ruined by someone that didn't know what he was doing. ;)
