How the police can seize your stuff when you have not been proven guilty of anything

http://www.economist.com/node/16219747?fsrc=explainsdig

In most states the police can seize property they suspect has been used to commit a crime. Under "civil asset forfeiture" laws, they typically do not have to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that a crime was committed, or even charge anyone with an offence.

US Supreme Court won't hear case of Pa juveniles serving life
Philadelphia Inquirer 9 June 2014

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20140610_U_S__Supreme_Court_won_t_hear_case_of_Pa__juveniles_serving_life_without_parole.html

Pennsylvania has more inmates convicted as juveniles for murder and sentenced to life without parole than any other place in the world.

Non-unanimous American Juries

Non-unanimous American Juries

A felony jury is typically an unanimous twelve persons panel1.
But in Oregon and Louisiana the verdict can be 10-22.
In Florida and Connecticut a felony jury is always a six unanimous persons board3-4.

Everywhere a first degree murder trial needs an unanimous twelve persons jury, but in Oregon a 11-1 verdict is still admitted5.

A capital jury is always a twelve jurors unanimous for the verdict, but sentence can be different6.

In Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia the sentence is province of the jury even in non-capital felonies7.

For misdemeanors a twelve unanimous jury is not common because it is usually a six persons jury, or 7 in Virginia, 8 in Utah, Arizona and Ohio, with some notable exception8.

In a civil case the twelve unanimous members juries can be found rarely (Alabama) because they normally vote 9-3 or 10-2 when they are not 9, 8 or 6 members: 7 in Virginia, California, Oregon, Texas and even 4 in Utah.

The size of grand juries is also shrinking. Federal grand juries are composed by 16 23 members but state grand juries can be of 6 persons in Indiana and 7 in Virginia, Oregon, Iowa, when in California the size changes according to the population of the county.
