-Caveat Lector- http://news.findlaw.com/ap/o/1110/7-10-2001/20010710143230380.html Thursday, July 12, 2001 Prosecutor to Get Dead Man's Money NEW YORK (AP) _ The estate of a man who committed suicide in jail while being held on drug charges has been ordered to pay $750,000 to the Nassau County district attorney's office. The ruling, part of a settlement in a civil forfeiture case, was the first in the state in which a prosecutor sought assets from a dead person, Newsday reported Tuesday. State law allows prosecutors to seize money from convicted felons if it can be established that the money was obtained illegally, said Rick Henshaw, spokesman for District Attorney Denis Dillon. Robert Vorbeck, 38, was arrested July 2, 1999, for allegedly selling cocaine to undercover officers, and committed suicide in his county jail cell 11 days later. He had faced life in prison if convicted of felony drug charges. The attorney for his estate, Steven Kessler, said Vorbeck's parents wanted to settle. ``They just wanted to put this behind them, move on and grieve,'' Kessler said.
