Supreme Court to rule in drug forfeiture case

December 11, 2016/ Tron Nick

The US Supreme Court [official website] on Friday granted certiorari to Honeycutt v. United States [docket; cert. petition, PDF], a case dealing with collecting forfeitures from drug deals. At issue is whether one co-conspirator in a drug deal is liable for forfeiting all of the reasonably foreseeable proceeds from the deal. Tony and Terry Honeycutt were charged [SCOTUSblog report] with federal drug crimes after selling a chemical that is an ingredient in methamphetamine at their hardware store. Although Terry forfeited $200,000, the government wanted him to forfeit the rest of the proceeds, which Terry argued he never received.
