   Yet that fat-assed black Democrat hose-monster whore Fani Willis found time to   
   engage in lawfare against Donald Trump.   
      
   More than 200 rape and physical abuse kits have been sitting at Children's   
   Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) for years untested.   
      
   The GBI confirmed this morning to 11Alive News that the oldest untested kit   
   dates back to 2006.   
      
   In all, 211 kits for rape, sexual abuse of physical abuse performed on kids   
   ranging from 1 to 18 years old, were left at three CHOA hospitals: Scottish   
   Rite, Egleston and Hughes Spalding. Agents have picked up the kits in the last   
   week for them to be    
   tested at the state's lab in Dekalb County.   
      
   Now authorities are trying to figure out how to re-approach the victims years   
   -- in some cases a decade -- after the initial assault.   
      
   The GBI was notified of the untested kits due to a new state law which set   
   deadlines for when rape kits must be sent to the state's lab.   
      
   Representative Scott Holcomb, (D) Atlanta, spearheaded the effort to pass the   
   legislation.   
      
   "There was a clear lack of communication. And I don't know why no action was   
   taken," Holcomb said.   
      
   A representative from CHOA said that in 211 cases of sexual or physical abuse,   
   law enforcement either didn't pick up the tests or deemed them unnecessary.   
      
   In fact, in many instances, CHOA claims law enforcement told them to destroy   
   the tests, which is against CHOA policy.   
      
   “For some of these cases, the cases were not adjudicated, they were not   
   tried, someone pled, charges were dropped, etc. Cases like that we’ve been   
   told, you can get rid of this evidence, but we don’t. We hold onto it," Dr.   
   Daniel Salinas, Chief    
   Medical Officer for CHOA said.   
      
   The new law came after 11Alive was part of a TEGNA-USA TODAY investigation in   
   July 2015. That investigation uncovered 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.   
      
   TEGNA stations across the country facilitated petitions asking lawmakers to   
   require mandatory testing.   
      
   The new Georgia law requires providers who administer rape kits to immediately   
   notify local law enforcement if requested by the victim. Investigators then   
   have 96 hours to collect the evidence and 30 days to turn it over to the GBI   
   for analysis.   
      
   "In terms of the number of children we have in our community, it's absolutely   
   stunning," said Holcomb.   
      
   CHOA told 11Alive News the new state law works nicely with their current   
   policies of notifying law enforcement.   
      
   “None of these cases were forgotten, none of these evidence kits were   
   forgotten because we have a process where we review all of these cases - every   
   one of them - on a weekly basis," Dr. Salinas said.
