(NewsUSA) - Thanks to the outrage of one tenacious Detroit prosecutor, 21 serial rapists were identified -- rapists whose DNA sat untested in a police warehouse for years. Prosecutor Kym Worthy shined an unforgiving light on the gratuitously inefficient process of testing rape kits, in fact she's pronounced a national pandemic.
There's an estimated backlog of 400,000 untested rape kits in the U.S. -- bags of evidence collecting dust in storage lockers and labs.
