Update:

More from the conference:

-Accuser went to mother's house, changed her top, and went to the hospital
-Civilian accompanying accuser was given bag to put new top in
-Civilian was the accuser's mothers
-Mother was the last person seen with this bag

So in short, mom screwed up big time. She concocted the entire thing EDIT: To be clear, by the entire thing I mean the evidence bag.

She will not be charged because in New York it is not a crime to fabricate evidence that hasn't been formally introduced into a hearing.

WOW!

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 rape kit evidence bag and showed that it had been ripped open. It was anonymously left on the doorstep of the accuser’s mother’s home on Tuesday, Eoannou said. The evidence bag was confirmed to be the authentic, he said.

“It’s been tampered with,” Eoannou said.

“I have great concerns with what’s going on here. That’s why we’re calling for an independent investigation by a separate law enforcement agency.”

This is crazy. For what it's worth Patrick Kane is now in training camp with the Blackhawks.

Edit:

I feel like I should add this from Julie Dicaro's Twitter:

"Accuser's attorney is referring to person who delieved evidence bag to accuser's mother's home as "good samaritan.""
 
Oh good, sounds like the girl didn't want a settlement offer and Kane took other action.

Read: fucking disgusting with everything to do with this story.

Uh, holy shit.
 
So this happened in police custody, right? Evidence should stay police premises.

That's pretty crazy.

Two justice systems sadly. One of the powerful and one for the rest of us.
 
It was tampered with and stolen then? I mean the hospital/police don't just leave those things on doorsteps do they?
 
Holy shit.

The accusers attorney believes that it was done by a good Samaritan that found the evidence in the trash.

I'm just gonna copy my post from the other thread:

Uh, Holy shit!

"Thomas Eoannou says rape kit of alleged #Kane victim anonymously delivered to her mother's home. Bag ripped open. "

"Rape kit evidence bag had been ripped open. Should have been sealed to preserve evidence and chain of custody."

"Possibly means someone go into evidence locker or secure location and was delivered to accuser's mother's home. Folded up as if thrown away."

"The attorney's point is that the DNA evidence in the rape kit has been compromised, possibly intentionally."

"Accuser's attorney is referring to person who delieved evidence bag to accuser's mother's home as "good samaritan.""

"@Tabascolovr317 I think the suspicion is that someone recovered it from the trash and gave it to them."

"She is absolutley devastated, this is a perfect example of why rape victims don't come forward."

So someone may have tampered with the rape kit and then attempted to throw it away.
 
Confused. Was the bag left as a threat? Or was it left to expose the fact it had been tampered with and thrown away?
 
What if someone who knew it was wrong that someone did that left it at the doorstep to let them know it was tampered with, kind of like a whistleblower?
 
Holy shit. My immediate reaction to this is that this would be one of those locked threads because it's just so disgusting.

Starting to think it's the latter. It would have been much more convenient for Kane if the rape kit had simply "gone missing"
 
There's something screwy going on with this case. Kane should be suspended when a ongoing investigation is going on. He played last night in a preseason game.
 
Oh gee wiz I wonder who could have possibly done that

Seriously, who? It sure doesn't sound like anyone on Patrick Kane's side would have done or that it was put there to make it point. It sounds like it ended up thrown away and another cop didn't like and it exposed what happened without exposing themself.

The conference did not make any attempt to point accusations in any sort of general motive or direction.

As a spectator, you do the math and a threat seems to be the likely outcome.

A threat doesn't seem likely to me. What good would threatening them with an evidence bag do? Makes more sense that someone wanted the fact that the evidence was tampered with to get heavy news coverage.
 
Disgusting. Case is probably gonna get thrown out then?

No.

Because he hasn't been charged with anything.

I assume he meant from a PR perspective for the team. Same reason EA took him off the cover of their game without him being charged. If he meant why is someone not charged with a crime allowed to live their life, then I don't have an answer for that.

So you would be able to continue going to your day job if you were being investigated for rape and tampered evidence had just been discovered?

Yes to the first part. We have no idea what the Blackhawks will do now after hearing about this new info.
