(Subject:): re: 12-6-14 thank you, Sona (6) John,

I'm not sure that I know anyone who can assist you in getting APD to move forward with testing your rape-evidence kit. The only attorneys I know are defense attorneys. I don't think a defense attorney would be able to handle that type of case as their bailiwick is defending someone accused of a crime.

Another thought I have about your situation is that I've read in the paper the lab that does the DNA testing is woefully behind and has a backlog of work. My guess is that APD prioritizes which specimens to test based on what they deem to be a priority. I know that your case is a priority for you and that is understandable, but APD may not see it that way. Have you asked if you can meet with someone from Victim Services at APD? Perhaps a Victim Services counselor would be able to assist you in finding out if APD plans to move forward with your case. I don't want to be too pessimistic but if the crime occurred almost 3 years ago and APD has not moved forward I would take that as an indication that they are not pursuing your case very vigorously.

I can understand that this whole situation is very distressing for you. I'm sorry you have had to go through this. I hope you can try to put it behind you.

Be well,

Sona
