Question presented
Whether the interplay of the Constitution, Fed.R.Crim.P. 7(c)(2), and 21 U.S.C. § 853 allow government employees to seize an innocent third party California LLC property, which had never been subject to a criminal investigation and conviction. Whether the government employees are a!- lowed to "bully and extort" a citizen against the established law, after terrorizing her with pressure, duress, coercion, mental anguish, -and threat, then the lower courts gave them immunity, and left the Petitioner's tort claim against the United States unaddressed. By extension, if a doctor practicing in a hospitails arrested and convicted of a crime relating to his medical practice at that hospital, does that conviction result in seizure or forfeiture of hospital property?
