Attorney Explains The Legal Case<\/a>
<\/strong>
Mr. Martinez bought a classic 1959, but when he went to register it in Kansas, the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) found issues with the car\u2019s VIN number. KHP Superintendent Col. Herman Jones stated \u201cWhen the owner presented this car for inspection, it was found that the Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) on the Corvette had been altered, defaced or destroyed. \u00a0Pursuant to Kansas statute, such a vehicle cannot be legally registered and must be seized as contraband.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even though the state\u2019s attorney admits Martinez is innocent of any crime, the KHP then seized the car and has spent years in court working to destroy the Corvette under asset forfeiture laws.<\/p>\n
The Kansas Justice Institute (KJI) has stepped in and is fighting to return the 1959 Corvette to Mr. Martinez. \u00a0\u201cAsset forfeiture is when the government takes a person\u2019s property without a criminal conviction. In some cases, the person is never even charged with a crime, as was the case with Mr. Martinez,\u201d said KJI Litigation Director Sam MacRoberts. \u201cAsset forfeiture is bad enough, but it\u2019s especially bad in this case because the government admits Mr. Martinez did nothing wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the government knows someone is innocent, they shouldn\u2019t use their power and resources to take their property. Kansas\u2019s forfeiture laws are to blame. The United States and Kansas Constitutions do not permit the government to acknowledge a person\u2019s innocence, on the one hand, and then with the other, declare the innocent person\u2019s property \u2018contraband\u2019 and take it,\u201d MacRoberts said.<\/p>\n
Currently, the fate of the 1959 Corvette is still in the hands of the court.<\/p>\n

What Mike Likes about this Corvette:

<\/em> \u201cLt. Pewter Metallic was introduced in \u201998 and it was one of the most popular Corvette colors ever offered! \u00a0It\u2019s understated, classy and complements the lines of the C5 perfectly. This one owner Coupe was purchased new by a local, So. CA. client. This was the last of many Corvettes that he owned over the years. \u00a0It\u2019s in absolutely pristine condition, with only 22k original miles driven.\u201d<\/p>\n
