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
