Gilgo Beach killings suspect Rex Heuermann has petitioned the court to reclaim more than 280 guns that were seized from his home in July so he can sell them and financially help his family while in jail.
I think you need to read between the lines here. The designated person will be someone who will sell the guns for him and give him the money. I don’t like police forfeiture auctions either, but I don’t want this motherfucker making a dime.
You’re right. I don’t think the state will give them up. There are any number of civil enforcement avenues it may proceed with to seize title to the guns, insofar as they are valuable. Writs of attachment, civil asset forfeiture, civil restitution. Son of Sam Laws, too.

Why not? Has he been convicted of a crime in a court of law, judged by a jury of his peers?
(And for the record, I too am certain he’s guilty, but let’s keep the above in mind.)
What he has been convicted of and what I think he deserves are vastly different things.
