U.S. Supreme Court Hears case of Chicago woman who waited 3 years to get car back

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
It took three years for Tyhesha Brunston to get her 2004 Chevy Impala back — even though it was wrongly seized by Chicago Police who claimed they found a marijuana cigarette in the car while a friend of hers was driving it.

The charges against the friend were dropped earlier this year, and authorities finally returned the car to Brunston, 30, of Lawndale, in July.
A case that tests the limits of government action.
