    Four months is far too long. This is completely unacceptable. Delays in forensic reports not only hinder a proper investigation but also make it seem like the case is not a priority.

    Justice delayed is justice denied, and this is a clear example of that.

    I know it’s hard but we need to give the government some credit. We watch too much tv.
    Even in the states that we look up to forensic analysis sometimes take longer than that due to backlog ect.
    I don’t believe there is any move in the government part to cover up anything however I do hope that the get the results soon
