In this episode of American Potential, host Jeff Crank delves into the controversial practice of civil asset forfeiture with Sam MacRoberts, General Counsel and Litigation Director for the Kansas Justice Institute. MacRoberts shares the compelling story of his client, Dewanna Goodridge, whose SUV was seized by law enforcement after her son was pulled over for a minor traffic violation. Despite not being charged with a crime, Dewanna faced significant hardships due to the loss of her vehicle. With the help of the Kansas Justice Institute, she successfully reclaimed her SUV, highlighting the injustices within the civil asset forfeiture system.
This case played a pivotal role in prompting legislative reform in Kansas, aimed at protecting citizens from similar abuses. Tune in to learn more about the implications of civil asset forfeiture, the challenges faced by those unjustly targeted, and the ongoing efforts to ensure justice and fairness in the legal system.
