Introducing evidence to show that the defendant has previously been accused of some other crime, or "bad act," is often helpful to the prosecution’s case in a cold case sexual assault trial. This resource provides an overview and unique considerations of the Evidence Rule to admit evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts in cold case sexual assaults.
Funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative aims to create a coordinated community response that ensures just resolution to sexual assault cases. Through this program, funding is provided to support multidisciplinary community response teams engaged in the comprehensive reform of jurisdictions approaches to sexual assault cases resulting from evidence found in previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits.
