Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Re: evidence seized

A motion to suppress is a criminal matter. Specifically, the motion decides whether evidence seized in a criminal investigation is admissible in court against the accused. Seizure and forfeiture law, in contrast, is a civil matter. Thus the result from each can, and often times is, distinct and different. If I were your husband I would give thanks to his attorney for having the felony possession charge dismissed. However, a civil action is available to have those things seized returned to you.
