Belknap v. Henderson

How later courts describe this case

• viewing a criminal prosecution and an overlapping forfeiture action to be part of "a single, coordinated prosecution"
• upholding district court’s imposition of 3-day limit for each party to present its case
• "In the management of its docket, the court has an inherent right to place reasonable limitations on the time allotted to any given trial.”
• civil forfeiture of proceeds from illegal activity was not “punishment” and, thus, double jeopardy clause was not implicated
• where judicial lien fixes upon homestead, but is unenforceable because exemption has no value limitation, lien may be avoided because it clouds title, impairing ability to convey property
• double jeopardy does not attach in civil forfeiture to bar subsequent criminal action
