131902P.pdf   06/27/2014  United States  v.  John Nelson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1902
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Loken and Benton, Circuit Judges.] 
   Criminal Case - forfeiture. District court's grant of forfeiture of money 
   seized pursuant to a traffic stop is reversed. Evidence did not support 
   conclusion that currency was substantially connected to an intended drug 
   transaction. The affirmative evidence could support either party's 
   position, but the lack of affirmative evidence of an intended drug 
   transaction shows that the government failed to carry its burden to prove 
   it more likely than not that Nelson intended to use the seized currency in 
   a planned drug transaction.
