Some 160 rape kits from Gainesville and Hall County bearing evidence from alleged sexual assaults may soon be sent for testing to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation from local law enforcement following a change in GBI policy. The GBI tests samples submitted to its lab and enters information into a DNA database. The state agency notified law enforcement agencies in March about kits not submitted to the lab.
