(c) If the court enters judgment in favor of the state, the court, subject to section 5 of this chapter, shall order distribution of the property in accordance with subsection (d). The court's order may permit the law enforcement agency to use the property for a period not to exceed three (3) years.

(1) the property, if it is not money or real property, be sold under section 6 of this chapter, by the sheriff of the county in which the property was seized, and if the property is a vehicle, this sale must occur after any period of use specified in subsection (c);

(2) the property, if it is real property, be sold in the same manner as real property is sold on execution under IC 34-55-6; and

(3) the proceeds of the sale or the money be distributed as follows:

(A) To pay attorney's fees, if outside counsel is employed under section 8 of this chapter.

(B) After payment of attorney's fees under clause (A), one third (1/3) of the remaining amount shall be deposited into the forfeiture fund established by the prosecuting attorney to offset expenses incurred in connection with the investigation and prosecution of the action.

(C) Except as provided in clause (D), after distribution of the proceeds described in clauses (A) and (B), if applicable, eighty-five percent (85%) of the remaining proceeds shall be deposited in the:

(i) general fund of the state;

(ii) general fund of the unit that employed the law enforcement officers that seized the property; or

(iii) county law enforcement fund established for the support of the drug task force;

as determined by the court, to offset expenses incurred in the investigation of the acts giving rise to the action.

(D) After distribution of the proceeds described in clauses (A) and (B), if applicable, eighty-five percent (85%) of the remaining proceeds shall be deposited in the general fund of a unit if the property was seized by a local law enforcement agency of the unit for an offense, an attempted offense, or a conspiracy to commit a felony terrorist offense (as defined in IC 35-50-2-18) or an offense under IC 35-47 as part of or in furtherance of an act of terrorism.

The court shall order that the proceeds remaining after the distribution of funds to offset expenses described in subdivision (3) be forfeited and transferred to the treasurer of state for deposit in the common school fund.

(e) If property that is seized under this chapter (or IC 34-4-30.1-4 before its repeal) is transferred:

(1) after its seizure, but before an action is filed under section 3 of this chapter (or IC 34-4-30.1-3 before its repeal); or

(2) when an action filed under section 3 of this chapter (or IC 34-4-30.1-3 before its repeal) is pending;

the person to whom the property is transferred must establish an ownership interest of record as a bona fide purchaser for value. A person is a bona fide purchaser for value under this section if the person, at the time of the transfer, did not have reasonable cause to believe that the property was subject to forfeiture under this chapter.

(f) If the property seized was an unlawful telecommunications device (as defined in IC 35-45-13-6) or plans, instructions, or publications used to commit an offense under IC 35-45-13, the court may order the sheriff of the county in which the person was convicted of an offense under IC 35-45-13 to destroy as contraband or to otherwise lawfully dispose of the property.

Jury instructions; multiple defendants
Status: in_force

Sec. 8. (a) This section applies to an action based on fault that:

(1) is brought against two (2) or more defendants; and

(2) is tried to a jury.

(b) The court, unless all the parties agree otherwise, shall instruct the jury to determine its verdict in the following manner:

(1) The jury shall determine the percentage of fault of the claimant, of the defendants, and of any person who is a nonparty. The jury may not be informed of any immunity defense that might be available to a nonparty. In assessing percentage of fault, the jury shall consider the fault of all persons who caused or contributed to cause the alleged injury, death, or damage to property, tangible or intangible, regardless of whether the person was or could have been named as a party. The percentage of fault of parties to the action may total less than one hundred percent (100%) if the jury finds that fault contributing to cause the claimant's loss has also come from a nonparty or nonparties.

(2) If the percentage of fault of the claimant is greater than fifty percent (50%) of the total fault involved in the incident which caused the claimant's death, injury, or property damage, the jury shall return a verdict for the defendants and no further deliberation of the jury is required.

(3) If the percentage of fault of the claimant is not greater than fifty percent (50%) of the total fault, the jury shall then determine the total amount of damages the claimant would be entitled to recover if contributory fault were disregarded.

(4) The jury next shall multiply the percentage of fault of each defendant by the amount of damages determined under subdivision (3) and shall enter a verdict against each defendant (and such other defendants as are liable with the defendant by reason of their relationship to a defendant) in the amount of the product of the multiplication of each defendant's percentage of fault times the amount of damages as determined under subdivision (3).
