An estimated 225,000 rape kits have gone unprocessed across the country; more than 7,200 have been neglected in Oklahoma. Last month, a woman who reported an Oklahoma City sexual assault to police back in 2011 discovered that her rape kit had gathered dust on a shelf in Tulsa's police department for seven years -- after the Oklahoma County district attorney had informed her he was dropping the case because no rape kit existed.
Consider Rayshun Mullins, who petitioned the state of Oklahoma three times for post-conviction testing of DNA evidence used against him in 2009. (The Sooner State was last in the nation to adopt a post-conviction DNA testing statute in 2013.) Three times he was denied. Why? Shockingly, dozens and dozens of crucial forensic items in Mullins' case have been destroyed or "lost."
The thread on asset forfeiture reminded me of this story I saw. Oklahoma law enforcement has a lot of problems.

I remember hearing a few years back that WI had a similar issue and backlog of forensics testing, and that the state crime lag was either corrupt or incompetent, or both.

Sounds like a job that would be good for someone like the FBI if they cared to do it.

The FBI lab hasn't been exactly squeaky clean of late, either.
