   Yet that fat-assed black Democrat hose-monster whore Fani Willis found time to   
   engage in lawfare against Donald Trump.   
      
   The woman was sitting in her car early one morning when a masked man   
   approached and pointed a gun at her. The man took $3, raped her and left.   
      
   The victim did everything she should have: She called the police and allowed a   
   sexual assault kit to be taken.   
      
   That kit, often referred to as a "rape kit," never saw the light of day until   
   five years later, when it was found in a police storage facility along with   
   about 11,000 others.   
      
   After the victim's kit was tested, Joshua Brooks was identified as the rapist.   
      
   In the five years it took to get the kit tested, Brooks had been arrested on a   
   number of charges and was already serving a lengthy prison sentence.   
      
   This is not an isolated instance.   
      
   Across more than 800 law enforcement agencies nationwide, records obtained by   
   USA TODAY and its TEGNA news partners show more than 70,000 sexual assault   
   kits containing forensic evidence from rape, sexual battery and other crimes   
   have never been sent to    
   crime labs for testing.   
      
   Those figures, drawn from a small sample of 18,000 U.S. police agencies,   
   indicate the nation's count of untested sexual assault kits likely reaches   
   well into the hundreds of thousands.   
      
   The exact number isn't known. In most states, local law enforcement agencies   
   are not required to inventory untested evidence kits in their custody to   
   determine the scope of the problem, and many haven't done so on their own.   
      
   When tested, the DNA evidence inside the rape kits has proven to be an   
   effective method to solve and prevent crimes. So why aren't they being   
   tested?ID=29494555ID=29926751   
      
   In 1989, Debbie Smith and her police officer husband Rob were raising their   
   two children in Williamsburg, Va.   
      
   "If there was the ideal family, I guess we had that life," Debbie told   
   WVEC-TV. "There were no problems that we couldn't handle as a family."   
      
   That would be tested on March 3. Rob, who had just gotten off the midnight   
   shift, was asleep upstairs. Debbie was busy checking off items on her to-do   
   list. She ran out the door, leaving it unlocked for just a minute.ID=29494713   
      
   That decision would change her life forever. Within five minutes, a masked man   
   dragged her out of her home and into the woods behind it. He raped her   
   repeatedly for an hour, then let her go. She ran back home and woke up her   
   husband.   
      
   "I just said, 'He got me, Rob. He got me,'" she recalled.   
      
   Rob called the police as she headed for the shower to try, like many victims   
   do, to wash away what had happened to her— but her husband, the Williamsburg   
   cop, knew they had to go to the hospital for a rape kit.ID=29494575   
      
   "He said, 'Honey you have to, you just have to. That's the only way we're   
   going to find him. You need to do this,'" Debbie said.   
      
   It is a four-to-six-hour long exam, which Debbie says destroys what you have   
   left of your self-esteem.ID=29494739   
      
   "But you do it because you know it will give you hope, that there's hope in   
   them taking that evidence from your body," Debbie said.   
      
   For six long years, the Williamsburg mom said she lived in fear and always   
   looked over her shoulder. But on July 26, 1995, the Smiths were told Debbie's   
   kit had a cold hit.   
      
   Norman Jimmerson's DNA was collected when he was arrested for a different   
   crime. A cross-check matched the sample to Debbie's rape kit. It was only the   
   fourth cold hit in the entire nation.   
      
   "That was the day that I took a deliberate breath," Debbie remembered. "I   
   really wanted to live again."   
      
   She says DNA gave her her life back.   
      
   Jimmerson will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
