Nice.

I hope somebody at the Score or ESPN 1000 gets a cop or a lawyer to explain how these things should be handled.

Like I said, her lawyer said whatever was delivered to the door should have been still sealed and stored.

KANNNNNERRRRRRRR


DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA

Typically evidence bags (with the evidence inside) are retained for trial and any potential appeal/retesting. Chain of custody means in part everyone in the chain can take the stand and identify the evidence as well as the same evidence bag.

Patrick Kane Accuser’s Attorney: Rape Kit Evidence Bag Ripped Open, Tampered With

(CBS) In a stunning revelation, the attorney for the woman who has accused Blackhawks star Patrick Kane of sexual assault said that the rape kit evidence bag that’s so critical to the case has been tampered with, and he’s called for an independent investigation into how that came to happen.
At a press conference in Buffalo on Wednesday, attorney Thomas Eoannou presented the empty evidence bag, showing that it had been ripped open. It was anonymously left on the doorstep of the accuser’s mother’s home and discovered Tuesday afternoon, Eoannou said. The evidence bag was confirmed to be authentic, as it was labeled with the alleged victim’s name, details on where the rape kit was used and the initials of the nurses who administered the kit, he said.
“I have my grave concerns as to what’s going on here,” Eoannou said. “That’s why we went public with it. That’s why we’re asking for an independent investigation by a separate law enforcement agency. Something seriously has gone amiss.”
Eoannou strongly denied a report that surfaced over the weekend that said Kane’s DNA wasn’t found in the accuser’s genital area or on her undergarments.
“We don’t know what was found where,” Eoannou said. “We have an evidence bag that was ripped open — something was either taken out of it or placed in another bag.
“We’re hoping to get to the bottom of it. We’re hoping to find out how this happened and who had the incentive to modify or tamper with the evidence and finally get to the bottom of it rather than have misinformation about semen in one’s undergarments.”
Eoannou refused to speculate on who might have tampered with the evidence bag, indicating only that the chain of custody had been broken.

Kane, 26, hasn’t been charged in the sexual assault case as officials with the Hamburg police and the Erie County District Attorney’s Office continue to investigate the events surrounding the early morning hours of Aug. 2, when Kane returned to his Hamburg, N.Y., home with a friend, the alleged victim and one of her friends after a night out at the bar. The sexual assault is alleged to have occurred in Kane’s home after that.
Eoannou had no comment on whether he thought Kane would be charged, though he hopes the criminal case will move forward. Prior to Wednesday’s shocking revelation, a grand jury had been expected to be presented evidence in the coming weeks. It’s not clear how this development will affect that.
Evidence bags are typically stored at the lab, the police department or the district attorney’s office, Eoannou said. He wants state police or the FBI to look into how the evidence bag left the custody of investigators.
“In my 30-years plus of being a prosecutor and defense attorney, I have never seen an evidence bag outside of a police lab, the prosecutor’s office or courthouse,” Eoannou said. “Let only find one in the doorway of a rape victim’s mother’s home.”
The alleged victim has “always been determined” to have the truth come out and push forward with prosecuting Kane, Eoannou said.
The “victim bashing” has been “atrocious” for his client, Eoannou said.
“She is absolutely devastated,” he said. “This is a classic example of why rape victims don’t come forward in rape cases. This is the worst example of victim bashing I have seen.”
Kane’s only public comments directly pertaining to the case came last Thursday as the Blackhawks opened training camp at Notre Dame. He maintained his innocence.
“I’m confident that once all the facts are brought to light, I will be absolved of (wrongdoing),” Kane said.
Beyond that, Kane has added he doesn’t know of any timeline for a resolution and has only responded to hockey-related questions.
Kane played in the Blackhawks’ preseason opener Tuesday night at the United Center, a 5-4 win against the Red Wings. However, he didn’t accompany the team to Detroit for Wednesday night’s exhibition, the Associated Press reported.

Maybe they can get Giangreco's guy.

The fact that this happened should disqualify the police department(s) who has handled this case. I feel for the alleged victim and her family for having to go through this whole disgusting ordeal.

Still need to hear from the DA, and/or a PD statement addressing the bag in question.

That City of Hamburg release does not deny or confirm that the bag is legit.

Right, it's a pretty substantial charge her lawyer just launched at the Police Department. It's important to remember we don't know who is full of shit in this case and hell it could be everyone including Kane, the Victim ( or "Victim"), all 3 lawyers and/or the PD.

Could it be bullshit? If it was bullshit, the police would be saying it's not the real bag. Some goof did this as a ploy/prank whatever. Nothing to see move along. If it is the real bag how in the world did it end up on mom's doorstep? It should still be in an evidence room somewhere.

Sku /bar code on the bag the Lawyer claims they have verified it.

Lets Lawyer shame Kane's guy. He's most famous as a lawyer for the porn industry and these guidelines


Here's a classy picture of him in his office during a press conference with a Hustler mug behind him

I'd be interested to hear more about this.

What do you mean?

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

It was just a thought I had before BF's post about a SKU. Everything is so nuts I thought it possible the lawyer could have a wrong or bag that wasn't the main bag to do something to change the narrative of two guys besides Kane's semen on the victim. I am really at a loss as to how this could happen and now the police claim they are unassailable. Someone is lying.

I'll throw in my two cents regarding the evidence bag. Back in college, I did a summer internship at a County PD, I spent a few days in the evidence room. The chain-of-custody is a huge deal. LIke in the movies, whenever it is passed from one LEA to another, it has to be signed over. The Rape Kit bag is not like some random bag that is used once and discarded. The same bag would be used throughout the duration of the case. They would use evidence tape to seal it. The tape would be signed and dated. When the evidence bag is unbroken, it would again be sealed up in the same manner w/ the same bag.

How that evidence bag got disconnected from the rape kit contents is a total mystery to me. On top of that, for it to be sent to a family member's house is another head scratcher. THe whole 'anonymous' thing is what I dont understand. It definitely puts the results of the rape kit in question. If you don't agree, imagine if the roles were reversed and it was leaked that Kane's DNA was found. The next day the wrap kit evidence bag arrives at a families member's house. Kane and his lawyers would be up in arms about the chain of evidence, integrity of the lab, integrity of the PD, etc.

The Lawyer said they went to "Great lengths" to verify it. The bag has a sku/barcode on it. I would think it would be really easy to verify that sticker..and the "great lengths" are just him being a dick.

I question the benefits of this going public.
