This thing has surpassed even TMZ and Deadspin territory. Absolutely crazy.

More bad PR black clouds over The Blackhawks Organization.

I doubt that they are tone deaf this afternoon.

Accused lawyer: "This is a classic example why rape victims choose to not come forward. The victim bashing has been absolutely devastating."

Yeah no one has bashed Kane about this at all.

wow, good thing they have a rape expert to explain it all to us.

So the one pice of evidence that works in Kane's favor is now inadmissible? Why on earth would anyone think his camp is responsible for this?

_________________

For all we know, this could be the bag the rape kit was placed into prior to testing, then there is an actual "evidence" bag after the test is complete...?

The attorney said that he confirmed with the hospital that this was the "evidence" bag, but why would a hospital put something into an "evidence" bag? Would the authorities be the ones to put something into an "evidence" bag?

I dont see how that disagrees with the quote.

So you can convict of rape without any real evidence. Cool.

Likliest scenario: Kane's cousin and the rest of the Ice Warriors were out celebrating the DNA evidence and on a dare they broke into the police station and stole the bag (which included the girl's address)

Then they took a cab to the girl's house, dropped off the bag and ran away without paying the cabbie who can barely feed his family because of you Uber fucks

Unbelievable. Well, if they tampered with it, he's obviously guilty.

I wonder how much they paid the cop and medical examiner to do this.

word on the twitters is that the accuser's name was on the bag her atty held up during the presser.

Maybe I watch too much TV but isn't the surefire way to sink any rape case is to establish a break in the chain of custody?

rape kits are administered by medical professionals at the hospital. so the rape kit administrator (a nurse or doctor or whomever) would initiate the chain of custody for the DNA and other rapey kit evidence.

There has to be documentation filled out by the Medical Review Officer in another facility... hospital, clinic, etc.

Outside of him being convicted, I can't think of much that would be worse than this development for Kane.

Just sad and disgraceful all around.

not sure what you're saying. i'd guess the chain of custody is similar to that for a urine sample for a drug test. it probably goes directly from the medical facility to the DNA testing lab. without ever being in literal police custody?

Never fear lads, Score rape expert and one of those attorneys who don't make a lot of money Julie DiCaro says its still a go.

If what Eaonnou said today is true, DNA results will fade into the background and photos, testimony, rape kit notes will play a bigger role

Maybe the bag was delivered weeks ago as intimidation and her lawyer held it as the trump card until now

If they have already taken the evidence out of the bag, analyzed it, and logged it, does that evidence then get put in a different bag thus leaving the original evidence bag empty?

Yes, but the attorney kept using the term "evidence bag". While the hospital may have begun the chain of custody, isn't it up to the authorities, and not the hospital staff, to have an officer present to cleanly put the kit into an "evidence" bag before they take over custody? If so, why then would a nurse's initials be on an empty "evidence bag" as the attorney is claiming? I'm being serious, knowing how carefully these things are apparently handled.

I'm a bit surprised the evidence bag would list her name instead of an ID number.

Does this mean there is just an empty evidence locker with a couple of crushed keystone ice beer cans from kaners posse.

Anybody know anyone that might have a connection to the Buffalo police that could get around the evidence? Maybe like someone who pays an off-duty cop to drive him around when he's in town?

We print a ton of medical forms with multiple parts - white, pink, canary paper. Each one of those pages go to different places... patient, admin, billing, physician, etc. Those forms are considered "bible" for exams, urinalysis & drug testing, etc. My point is that not everything was in that alleged bag. Multiple copies of documentation of any test or exam definitely exists elsewhere.

Just remember, Patrick Kane employs one or more Buffalo police officers as part of his entourage.

Aren't there two issues: a) did they have sex, and b) was it consensual? DNA would only be used to establish that they had sexual contact. If Kane is going to insist he never had sexual contact, that carries a risk because if it's somehow proven he did (even without DNA), then he can never claim consent.
