I never thought about that. A defense lawyer could end up with a good collection.seamusTX wrote:State law requires a firearm to be returned after it is no longer needed as evidence, though sometimes the owner has to hire a lawyer to get a court order to return it.
In felony cases the appeals can take years, so the evidence is going to be kept indefinitely.
I remember a notorious case that was tried here where the defendant was found guilty of a felony, and the defendant's lawyer got the defendant's two handguns. The weapons probably would be worth a lot to one of those freakazoids that are willing to pay for things that were used in crimes.
