United States v. Hall
United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
434 F.3d 42 (2006)
- Written by Robert Cane, JD
Facts
Kevin Hall (defendant) was found guilty of drug trafficking and money laundering. He was sentenced to a total of 151 months’ imprisonment. In addition, the jury returned forfeiture findings against Hall. The district court ordered Hall to forfeit all assets that he had obtained illegally. The court imposed an in personam money judgment against Hall for over $500,000 and ordered Hall to forfeit specific property connected to his drug-trafficking activities under 21 U.S.C. § 853. The court also ordered Hall to turn over property connected to his money-laundering activities under 18 U.S.C. § 982. With respect to both orders, the court permitted seizure of substitute property to satisfy the forfeiture order. Hall appealed the forfeiture order to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
