9:45 a.m. 15A01-1110-MI-537. The State filed a motion to transfer cash seized from Dante Adams to federal authorities for the purpose of commencing forfeiture proceedings. The State did not serve the motion on Adams. The Dearborn Circuit Court granted the State's motion and denied Adams' motion for rehearing. The Court of Appeals concluded that because the statute permitting the State to transfer seized property to federal authorities contemplates a lawful search, Adams was entitled to challenge the legality of the search and seizure prior to transfer of the cash to federal authorities. The State therefore erred in failing to give Adams notice of its motion. The error, however, was harmless because Adams could not show prejudice.
With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
Jack, I was only responding to bill's comment of tying everybody in government together. I agree with you though, it takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.. As in any profession. What's truly unfair is when somebody violates someone's trust and takes complete advantage of someone
John’s comment is unfair. The majority of attorneys can be trusted. Unfortunately, all it takes is one greedy, unscrupulous, immoral attorney to jade the public.
In regards to bill's comment about trusting the cover meant. We can trust them about as much as we can trust attorneys'.
This is disturbing to learn...
