Judge Tom

Ordinarily, evidence seized in a criminal case is disposed of according to specific laws in the state where this happened or according to applicable federal laws. There are confiscation laws regarding drugs and weapons that do not permit return of such whether prosecution proceeds or not. The facts of each case dictate what happens to seized evidence. You can contact a criminal defense attorney for advice on this. Take a look at our Teen Help Network for lawyers where you live:
