— State Sen. Renee Unterman, speaking to WSB, on why she’s blocking a bill sponsored by state Rep. Scott Holcomb, D-Atlanta, that would help prevent rape kits from sitting on a shelf. Law enforcement and victims’ rights groups have spoken in favor of the measure, which unanimously passed the state House of Representatives. Advocates are now pushing for supporters to contact Unterman and Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle.
