Discussion on a subject without adequate information.  This topic comes up frequently, but the media just cannot take the time to describe when and how a decision is made to create a rape kit and how rape kits obtained in various circumstances are prioritized.  Suppose a forcible rape is reported and there is a suspect.  Presumably a rape kit would be obtained.  Since there would be immediate need for DNA information and the like to be used in prosecution, I have a hard time believing that such a rape kit would not be immediately tested.  True or False.  So is it the case that the only rape kits left untested are those that in hindsight are judged as superfluous.  Likely, completing a rape kit is pretty much routine in a wide variety circumstances including some where its benefit may be marginal.  So we read this editorial arguing that all kits should be tested without getting any information about whether all rape kits obtained are seen by anyone in law enforcement as valuable.
