Courts reject drug-tainted evidence; studies find cocaine-soiled cash so prevalent that even Janet Reno had some

by M. Curriden
Studies by, among others, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Miami Herald indicate that a large portion of the money in circulation bears trace amounts of cocaine, and a series of convictions have been overturned because traces of a drug on another object were deemed inadequate evidence for drug possession convictions. The Justice Department's asset seizure and forfeiture program depends heavily on tests for traces of drugs on various objects, and these studies could affect Justice's program.
