Okay, I guess the only question I have is this...

These items were “seized” by search warrant as, I suppose evidence of a crime.
if so, then all the items should have remained in evidence until the court either found them guilty or not guilty or the case was dismissed before any action could be taken regarding the items seized.

Wonder what would of happened if the case had gone to court and the accused demanded to “see” the evidence.

Uh, well we sold it, your honor...

Now an attorney for the county is offering to settle the case for $7,500 in exchange for a dismissal of a civil suit Suratt filed against the county.

Some hot attorney...

"Hey, man, I can get you 7% of what you lost! Whaddya say?"

[VeniVidiVici]

If the county is offering to settle I’d say they screwed this up.

If these folks have proof of the value of their stuff they should stay with the civil suit.

Seems that if the judge could order the return of the items, the same judge could order the reimbursement of their value.
