A mother appeared in the No. 3 Supreme Court and forfeited $50,000 in connection with the case involving Jason Ricardo Layne. The woman lost one of her sons about six years ago. Her other son, Layne, has recently been convicted of causing that death and is described in the report as a convicted murderer. The conviction resulted in the mother's $50,000 loss when she returned to court. The latest appearance therefore added a major financial penalty to a family tragedy that had already cost her a son. The legal basis for the forfeiture is not fully set out in the available account. What is clear is that the money was connected to Layne's prosecution and conviction.
