I saw something on the news a few months ago about how most DNA evidence from rape kits arent processed. Apparently they usually only test evidence if they have a suspect to match it to. The excuse is that the cost is too high. The kicker is that they wont let the victim pay for the DNA testing because it would make the system "unfair" to those who couldnt afford it.
The news show offered to pay for 50 tests at random. Some of the tests came back with matches to suspects that were ALREADY in the national database which led to arrests.
I cant fucking imagine being raped and someone refusing to allow me to pay for me own test!! Our system is fucked sometimes.
