Rape kits are used to collect evidence of a sexual assault. Both prosecution and defense attorneys testified Wednesday that DIY versions of these kits are not typically admissible in court.
Rape kits are used to collect evidence of a sexual assault. Both prosecution and defense attorneys testified that DIY versions of these kits are not typically admissible in court because it’s difficult to prove a chain of custody. That’s required to prove that the evidence presented in court is authentic and hasn’t been tampered with.
Sen. Evan Vickers, R-Cedar City, said a better option could be to regulate these kits, rather than ban them. He suggested lawmakers should gather more information from the industry and come to a compromise with them.
