Rape and Politics: Prominence of the parties involved drive processing

According to http://investigations.blog.ajc.com/2016/03/24/revived-rape-kit-bill-clears-hurdle-in-ga-house/, there are thousands of untested rape kits on the shelves in Georgia.  Georgia has no statewide policy to ensure the timely processing of rape kits.

However, in the 2007 Walton Way rape case of a prominent, elderly White woman - rape kit testing was expedited.  A fake composite sketch was even used with a REWARD incentive.

So processing of rape kits may depend on the prominence of the victim, how affluent the neighborhood, the county that the alleged offense occurred, the prominence of the defendant, i.e. politics.
