Private Practice's KaDee Strickland: DNA evidence is a game-changer

I am a retired school counselor and 71 years old. When I retired, I thought I would continue to serve my community as a counselor, and I wanted to work with people who had been victimized with violence, primarily women from abusive relationships or rape. I found I was not strong enough to handle their pain. When I watched this depiction of rape on TV, I felt the same rage at the perpetrator and even at myself for my inability to help. "Charlotte's" development and final acceptance of her trauma, her growth into her acceptance that it was NOT HER FAULT were, to me, the finest job of acting I have seen since "The Burning Bed." KaDee, thank you for the extra step you took to bring authenticity of emotion to this terrible crime.

I cannot understand why DNA analysis is such a low priority on law enforcement lists when, so often, additional attacks are made by otherwise identifiable offenders as rape kits gather their dust in back rooms.

As an interested counselor, I took a University course in DNA extraction and identification via electrophoresis methodology. I cannot believe that with law enforcement refusal or inability to to process these kits in a timely manner, that we allow new victims to be created under the guise of "saving tax-payer money!" This is truly a vivid example of "penny-wise and pound foolish." The community saves a penny, but puts all of us in danger.

Great!!! thanks for sharing this information to us!
