High Court Examines Forfeiture in Drug ConspiraciesThe federal criminal forfeiture statute, 21 U.S.C. Section 853(a), provides that any person convicted of a federal drug crime must forfeit "any property constituting, or derived from, any proceeds the person obtained, directly or indirectly, as the result of such violation." In Honeycutt v. United States, the U.S. Supreme Court will determine the reach of that statute in drug conspiracy cases. Specifically, the court will examine whether the statute requires all members of the conspiracy to be held jointly and severally liable for the forfeiture of all reasonably foreseeable proceeds of the conspiracy—even a co-conspirator that never personally "obtained" any proceeds.
