A woman who insisted that she did not know her husband was growing marijuana in the basement of the home they had shared since 1979 should not forfeit her full half interest in the home, a federal appellate court has ruled. Saying that Kathleen M. von Hofe was guilty of, at most, "turning a blind eye" to her husband's activities, the 2nd Circuit remanded the case to the district court for a determination of how much the forfeiture should be reduced or whether it should be eliminated entirely.
