CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS: In a civil forfeiture proceeding, where the state sought to forfeit a seized vehicle as proceeds of drug trafficking, the drug trafficker had standing to challenge the forfeiture by virtue of his equitable interest in the vehicle even though he lacked legal ownership as evidence by a certificate of title at the time of the seizure.
