Attorney General Andy Beshear announced Monday, February 27, that his office will transfer $30,000 to the Kentucky State Police Crime Lab to help end the state’s rape kit backlog. The money is the amount of interest accumulated to date from the multimillion-dollar Risperdal settlement. The Attorney General’s office alleged Johnson & Johnson dishonestly marketed its drug Risperdal to patients and the medical community in Kentucky. The $30,000, which would cover the cost of testing nearly 50 kits, is the first payment to KSP from the interest on the settlement funds. Beshear expects to give KSP additional payments.
