MARTIN v. STATE of Georgia.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

June 16, 2008.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert G. Jones III, Columbus, for appellant.

J. Gray Conger, District Attorney, David R. Helmick, Assistant District Attorney, Douglas L. Breault, Valley, AL, for appellee.


ANDREWS, Judge.

James Martin appeals following a bench trial in this civil forfeiture action. Martin claims that he is the owner of a 1997 Mercedes-Benz and 2000 Porsche Boxster seized from his nephew Clarence Martin, Jr. (Martin, Jr.) after Martin, Jr. was arrested for drug violations. Because James Martin has not shown that he is an "innocent owner" under OCGA § 16-13-49(e)(1)(A), we affirm.
