The San Francisco police evidence lab failed to process DNA samples from the 2007 slaying of a transgender prostitute for two years, leaving the suspect free allegedly to rape and brutalize at least three other transgender women before being arrested, The Chronicle has learned.
Donzell Francis, 41, of San Francisco, is now in custody and awaiting trial on kidnapping and sex assault charges stemming from an attack that happened six months after Ruby Ordenana was raped and strangled.

I read the comments and found a reference to how it was perfectly normal for the backlog to be 1.5-2 years.
That "priority" cases like kidnappings would be bumped ahead...
... not rape and murder apparently...
... not of transfolk anyhow...
