I would think you'd have to ask a defense attorney or someone else in the legal profession for your answer.
I wouldn't think they could hold on to people's personal property for months on end, especially if the people weren't directly connected to the case (ie, they were just witnesses), but I'm not a legal expert, so I could easily be wrong about that.
