Eliminate Backlogs of Untested Sexual Assault Kits
When tested, DNA evidence contained by sexual assault kits can be an incredibly powerful tool to solve and prevent crime. DNA evidence from sexual assault kits can:
- Identify an unknown assailent
- Confirm the presence of a known suspect
- Identify serial offenders
- Exonerate the wrongly convicted
To accomplish these things, sexual assault kits must be tested.
