The State of Georgia sought forfeiture of about $18,000 and a Cadillac DeVille seized during a search-warrant execution. Christopher Crimley filed verified answers and supporting documents claiming an interest in the property, but the trial court struck the answers as insufficient and entered an order distributing the property. The Court of Appeals of Georgia held that the filings had to be considered together and were sufficient to survive a motion to strike under OCGA § 16-13-49. Although the answers were inartful and did not individually recite every statutory detail, the attached notice and records identified Crimley’s interest, the acquisition of the vehicle, the asserted statutory basis, supporting facts, and requested relief. The court emphasized that the pleading stage requires a prima facie claim, not proof of the ultimate forfeiture case, and that the statute’s strict requirements must be interpreted reasonably to protect innocent owners while permitting prompt disposition of contraband. The court reversed and remanded for a hearing within 60 days; it did not decide the merits of the forfeiture claim. Judge Branch concurred only in the judgment.
