By a vote of 5-3 in the case of Luis v. United States, the Supreme Court held that the federal government's efforts to freeze the non-tainted assets of a criminal defendant before trial violated that defendant's constitutional rights. "The defendant in this case," the Court observed, "has a Sixth Amendment right to use her own 'innocent' property to pay a reasonable fee for the assistance of counsel."
Remember, if they seize your assets, they (the assets) will go on trial to prove their own innocence. This ruling will help people from being unable to afford to defend themselves in court while their (clean) assets are tied up in kangaroo court
