This is the number from all across the country during a thirty year time span. Not such an astonishing number taken in context.
True.
I wonder how accurate the results can be after all that time. I seriously doubt if there is the requisite research on that.
Add to that mixture the mistakes made by labs, witnesses, the rapists and the victims. Also, from what I've read and heard MOST victims are raped by someone close to them. I wonder if that statistic is true as well.
Thirty six a day? Not surprising (sad, but not surprising) there might be so many kits used, but outrageous that the evidence was sidelined. I wonder how many women were pressured to recant?
