Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Civil Forfeiture
In a civil forfeiture matter, the appellate court affirmed an order of the trial court by finding that section 36-1.5(a) of the Criminal Code does not require that the State obtain a circuit court’s preliminary determination that there is probable cause to subject the seized property to forfeiture within 14 days of seizure, but rather merely requires that the State request a hearing within that time frame. (DAVENPORT and ANDERSON, concurring)
