Georgia allows rape cases to be prosecuted with no time limit when strong DNA evidence identifies the suspect.



(d) A prosecution for the following offenses may be commenced at any time when deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) evidence is used to establish the identity of the accused:
(1) Armed robbery, as defined in Code Section 16-8-41;
(2) Kidnapping, as defined in Code Section 16-5-40;
(3) Rape, as defined in Code Section 16-6-1;
(4) Aggravated child molestation, as defined in Code Section 16-6-4;
(5) Aggravated sodomy, as defined in Code Section 16-6-2; or
(6) Aggravated sexual battery, as defined in Code Section 16-6-22.2;
provided, however, that a sufficient portion of the physical evidence tested for DNA is preserved and available for testing by the accused and provided, further, that if the DNA evidence does not establish the identity of the accused, the limitation on prosecution shall be as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this Code section

This is wonderful.

Now LE need to clear the backlogs of rape kits and actually test the darn things. No more sitting on their hands until the statute of limitations ticks down.

Remains found in Lawrenceville in February 2025 were identified as Timothy Mitchell Williams using Othram technology, thanks to the rapid action of the Lawrenceville Police Department and Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office. This technology is so much more valuable when used in realtime for active cases.
