Introduction of Speaker – John Schrot
Speaker – Kym Worthy, Wayne County Prosecutor
- Spoke about a few emerging trends which included:
- Rape Kit Investigations
- 11,331 untested rape kits discovered in 2009 and only 600 left to test
- As a result of testing these kits, 85 convictions have taken place and there are leads in 39 other states
- Human Trafficking
- 10-12 human trafficking cases in the last 3 months
- Asked for two full-time prosecutors as more resources are needed for these cases
- Sexual Assault
- Elder & Senior Living
- Domestic Violence
- 8,000 cases a year and generally issue warrants for half
- More prevalent between teenagers recently
- Body Cameras
- Detroit Police have stated that all officers will be fitted with body cameras by the end of the year
- Creates some problem for the justice system as it requires a lot more hours for prosecutor to make determinations on a case when there are 7-8 different tape records of a crime (i.e drug raid)
SMILES!
