[News] Patrick Kane being investigated for rape. UPD: DA announces no charges

[justafan]

The paper evidence bag was found in between front doors. It could have been there a few days as I guess she usually uses back door. The lawyer advising the woman, consulted with many sources to see if the bag was in fact, the real bag from the hospital. The nurse who signed the bag said it was her signature. At the media event, it was also wrapped in plastic. The DA has said they are looking into it. He also used this time to condemn those shaming her in media etc.

Does it become shrooms at that point?

[sureLoss]

Lawyer was lied to about the circumstances about the evidence bag showing up at the mother's house and is withdrawing from representing the accuser.

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
Kane accuser lawyer says new information is making him step away from representing her.

Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli
Eoannou, the accuser's lawyer, says "misrepresentations" were made to him about evidence bag and will no longer represent the client. #TSN

I don't know because by the time shrooms became popular I had quit doing drugs as I didn't need them anymore.

Greg Wyshynski @wyshynski
Eoannou said "there may have been some fabrications" concerning bag. Said mother delivered it to him. "I don't know what's true or not true"

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
Lawyer says his investigation reveals there may be a "fabrication" about how he received the bag.

Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli
Eoannou: "I can't say what's true and what's not true," mentions "ethical obligation" to withdrawal from the case.

Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli
Eoannou says there is "no question" that this is the "real evidence bag from this case."

And the plot thickens

SportsCentre @SportsCentre
"I no longer have confidence in the manner and means how that (evidence) bag came to my office."

[N-E-B]

This case is just bizzare.

[dieHARDflameZ]

What is going on?

[sureLoss]

So the former lawyer of the accused is saying while the evidence bag is legit, he NOW doesn't believe the story of how the mother got the bag.

[Clever_Iggy]

This is very bizarre.

[sureLoss]

Greg Wyshynski @wyshynski
Eoannou on if evidence bag mess calls accuser into question: "One has nothing to do w/ other." Said accuser not involved in bag situation.

[hockey.modern]

Uhh, did anyone realize he leaked the accusers first name?

He leaked the whole name when allowed the press to photograph the bag - the bag had her full name on it. Her name is already out there.

[SuperMatt18]

That can't be good for the accusers case, even though it may not be directly related it does happen to place a seed of doubt in the proceedings.

Yikes, not good. Although wrong of him, isn't the media also responsible to refrain from publishing any material with the name as well?

Some media blacked it out, but some didn't.

[SuperMatt18]

Media has been brutal in this IMO

Lots of jumping to conclusions at every turn without all the information.

Lawyer probably shouldn't have called that press conference yesterday either without getting all of the details and doing his own research at first as well.

[VladtheImpaler]

That looks very bad for the accuser. Very bad.
