OPINION OF THE COURT
Stanley L. Sklar, J.
A police officer stopped a car and arrested the driver when he found drug paraphernalia and a substantial sum of money in the car. The District Attorney permitted the driver to plead guilty to disorderly conduct, a violation, rather than a drug paraphernalia charge. Is that decision a determination, binding in this civil proceeding for forfeiture of the money, that the money does not constitute the proceeds of a crime? I hold that the decision is not binding in this forfeiture proceeding.
