MADISON - On this week's Cap City Sunday, host Emilee Fannon asked AG Brad Schimel about Wisconsin’s backlog of untested rape kits. Instead of admitting that he has mishandled the issue, Schimel made the remarkable claim that “we hit the ground running” in dealing with the backlog and said “we’re having great success.” Josh Kaul, candidate for Wisconsin Attorney General, released the following statement:
In his interview, Schimel also said “we know that those kits contain evidence and some of them will help us link offenders to crimes.” “That’s why our AG should have made this a priority years ago,” Kaul said.
A few months later, Schimel told Mike Gousha, “It’s not a backlog.” That statement was rated “Pants on Fire” by Politifact Wisconsin. Josh Kaul served as a federal prosecutor in Baltimore, one of America’s most violent cities. There, Kaul prosecuted murderers, gang members, and drug traffickers, taking dangerous criminals off the street and making communities more secure. He grew up in Oshkosh and Fond du Lac in a family of law enforcement professionals and teachers. He is running for Attorney General in 2018. **** For more information, please visit: www.joshkaul.org |
