In the Matter of 1986 CHEVROLET CORVETTE, License: None, VIN: 1G1Y678XG5905647, Seized In M.A.N.T.I.S. Case 9105079501.

Supreme Court of Arizona.

July 19, 1994.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stephen D. Neely, Pima County Attorney by Christopher J. Roads, Tucson, for Appellant State of Arizona.

Harley Kurlander, Tucson, for Appellee Evan Morris.

Grant Woods, Attorney General by Cameron H. Holmes, Phoenix, Amicus Curiae.

OPINION

ZLAKET, Justice.

The issue in this case is whether a 1986 Chevrolet Corvette, purchased by petitioner from a Scottsdale dealer on January 19, 1991, is subject to civil forfeiture. The state does not claim that he paid for the car with illegally acquired funds. It argues instead that he subsequently used the vehicle to pay off a drug-related debt, thereby "facilitating" a conspiracy to transport marijuana for sale.
