bbb Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Why isn't the DA setting the record straight? Where is this leaked information coming from... Is the information even true. Shouldn't the DA be stepping up? http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/179668-patrick-kane-sexual-assault-allegations/page-18?do=findComment&comment=3698243 Just a few minutes ago, the plaintiff Tweeted that they want to see this case to its just conclusion. What?!?
Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I have no sides in this case because who knows what happened, that said I believe the girls case is shot with her lawyer stepping down due to the misrepresentation of the evidence bag
bbb Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I thought the lawyer was supposed to serve the best interests of the client. Basically, he said he believes the client but not the mother of the client. If that's really true, he shouldn't have quit on the client. I watched Channel 2 news and their legal expert said exactly this.
Fingon Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I have no sides in this case because who knows what happened, that said I believe the girls case is shot with her lawyer stepping down due to the misrepresentation of the evidence bag This case was shot from the beginning. It's a he said/she said case with literally almost no evidence. Convicting beyond a reasonable doubt was always a pipe-dream.
LeviF Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I watched Channel 2 news and their legal expert said exactly this. There's a difference between what he says on camera and what he actually thinks. The PC crowd would be up in arms if he said he didn't believe the victim of an alleged rape.
4merper4mer Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) This case was shot from the beginning. It's a he said/she said case with literally almost no evidence. Convicting beyond a reasonable doubt was always a pipe-dream. The DA decides if there is evidence. The porn lawyer saying it on Facebook does not make it fact. With those things said, it sure is a bizarre bunch of stuff here. Although still in speculation mode, I'd have to guess that: The family did want criminal charges, and possibly a settlement, but with criminal being the first priority The lawyer was telling the truth the other day when he said he had not discussed a settlement....doesn't mean the family didn't have two lawyers with separate tasks If this lawyer quit, there must be something seriously up with how the supposed evidence bag arrived....not just a small discrepancy in the story. After all he said he knows the family and that is why he was helping. He went out there and laid it on the line in public the other day...after a 30+ year career. Without using the words, he implied that he had no faith in local law enforcement. This was probably based on his thoughts that the articles were genuine....now it seems like they are not.....if they were genuine then it must have totally freaked him out and left him not knowing who to trust....he must have relationships that go back years with law enforcement and he must have felt none of them was good enough in such a strange circumstance.....he had to go public. Now it was a big ruse? Something the mom did? WTF? I have no idea. I haven't heard the lawyer say that the daughter's story was questionable....quite the contrary...he stated he still believes that story. Meanwhile the evidence has supposedly been intact the entire time. If there is good evidence, it is still there. If not, then not. This whole thing turning into a spectacle is not good for anyone.....especially future victims of sports heroes. Kobe and Big Ben are still heroes, and Kane looks like he is headed down that road. Even if Kane is totally innocent like the Duke kids, there is more roadmap out there for "how to get out of it". Hoo-ray. I didn't explain that last part very well and can't figure out just quite how to do it. There must be SO MUCH going on behind the scenes in this thing. Side note: From reading through the last few pages i think it is almost certain that the conclusion to this is Kane being convicted and locked up. I base this primarily on Buffalo Barbarian's prediction of the opposite. See: Gabbert, Bliane, Talleywhacker, Ryan, Cook, Connor. Edited September 25, 2015 by 4merper4mer
shrader Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I have no sides in this case because who knows what happened, that said I believe the girls case is shot with her lawyer stepping down due to the misrepresentation of the evidence bag Him stepping down only hurts them in the court of public opinion. The case itself still falls exactly where it did 2 days ago.
FireChan Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I think he did it. Even if she was screwing 5 guys and Kane wanted to be the 6th... If she said no to Kane and Kane said: "Oh yes I will!" Isn't that still Kaner raping a woman? Rape isn't about sex, its about controlling a person. No motivation @ all. I just think he is guilty and don't buy he was set up. I also hold the theory that the defense would want nothing better than to engage the accuser's side in public, but they (accuser) have been keeping quiet... Until this bag fiassco happened. The defense wants the case dismissed, that's a no brainer... What better way to do it than foul everything up and get the accuser's side to trip over their own feet? Exactly what is happening! I have a feeling the defense knows Kane is guilty and have to resort to some pretty dirty pool. Why would the plaintiffs want to foul the case? Of course the idiots are not helping themselves and playing right into the defense's tactics! That's my take. I am not a lawyer, but I stayed @ a Holiday Inn Express... The first thing you want to do as the defense is to get the case dismissed. It seems pretty clear, that this situation is close to that (dismissal). Just a few minutes ago, the plaintiff Tweeted that they want to see this case to its just conclusion. That's not the side that would seem to be purposely fouling things up. IMO, they are playing into some other interest's (defense?) hands. Just my 2 cents, I find this very fascinating... But see, that's what I don't understand. You say you think Kane did it, fine. But then, you make up some story and say, "that's rape." It doesn't make sense.
YoloinOhio Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 @EricOnSportsLaw: The DA is holding a press conference today at 11am. May provide some guidance as to whether Patrick Kane case will proceed or wind down.

YoloinOhio Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 @JulieDiCaro: "Friend" reluctant to testify in Kane investigation has always been reluctant to testify. She's 19 & wasn't supposed to be in bar - Source @JulieDiCaro: Source says rape kit exam of Kane accuser was cut short because of problems with equipment. Could explain lack of DNA.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 @NewsRadio930 Sedita points to bag in question
YoloinOhio Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 @JulieDiCaro: Sedita: Rape kit in Erie county is a box, they are not placed in bags or submitted in bags. @StacyStClair: Prosecutor Frank Sedita say the rape kit involved in Patrick Kane investigation was never placed in bag. Has video evidence of it.
plenzmd1 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Dude sounds very pissed...for good reason
YoloinOhio Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) @JulieDiCaro: Sedita: Accuser changed her top at mother's home before she went to hospital for rape kit. @JulieDiCaro: Sedita: SANE nurse provided brown paper bag to accuser's mother to collect accuser's top. Mother last known person to have brown bag. @JulieDiCaro: Sedita: Not a crime in the state of NY to make fraudulent statements to civilian. Unlikely charges brought against accuser's mother. @JulieDiCaro: Sedita: Neither bag shown at presser yesterday EVER contained a rape kit. Last person seen with brown bag was accuser's mother. @JulieDiCaro: Sedita: Mother's statement that she found bag on front doorstep is untrue. @ByTimGraham: Sedita says Eoannou and a civil-claims attorney began representing accuser early in case and prevented DA's office from speaking with her.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 @NewsRadio930 Sedita says he believes accuser's mother has engaged in an "elaborate hoax." Hasn't determined if accuser was in on that hoax
26CornerBlitz Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 @NewsRadio930 Sedita: not "when" but "if" this case goes to a grand jury @NewsRadio930 DA Sedita says the case will either be closed or presented to a grand jury. He will make that decision after the investigation is complete
YoloinOhio Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Welp @JulieDiCaro: Sedita: This office is not responsible for this . . . circus.
YoloinOhio Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 @JonTWCNews: Other key part from Sedita is IF accuser knew of her mom's hoax regarding rape kit, that'll play into whether this goes to grand jury.
