Kane case headed to grand jury

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

So the accusers lawyer has dropped her as a client.

I'm trying to read through the details, but it seems he didn't believe the story of how the bag came into the mothers possession, and apparently he accidentally released her name.

This whole case is a dumpster fire.

He did release her name, though. When he held up the bag during the press conference it was visible/had not been redacted.

Kane's attorney is about to have a presser now

Haven't seen anything about him accidentally leaking her name. The way I understand it is basically the DA showed him that the mother lied about how she got the evidence.

Edit: AH, that was stupid of him to leak the name that way. I did think it was weird that he was waving evidence around, but more for reasons of contamination...

I hope the d.a. puts a stop to this being argued in the public tomorrow, this is like an m night shyamalan movie with all these twists.

As bos said, He showed the bag which still had her name on it.

yeah, just read that.

Also, you quoted me before i could cover up my stupid DEA mistake. (I can think of someone thinking: now their after Kane for drugs too?)

Yeah, bos filled me in above

Cambria: suing the accuser "not outside the realm of possibility" if it proves that this is all bunk

Rightfully so.

Wait a minute, how could the lady have gotten the evidence bag from police custody??? Unless she stole it while they were initially bagging evidence?

Bottom line: the credibility and integrity of the complainant's claim may be so comprised that today's events may be fatal to her case.

Ha.

No harm done.

The case is a disaster. I don't understand how any of this happens.

So Kane is innocent? Or is her case just destroyed?

DA presser is at 11AM Eastern tomorrow. I think that will tell everyone where the case is heading. I believe it is the latter of what you posted though.

[Son of a Wing 1,644]

I just don't know what to think now...

Is Kane a victim? If only we actually knew what happened that night...

[number9 3,297]

It's seeming like the case will be dropped and we'll never know what actually happened.

If that's the case, i will take the very unpopular amongst the masses decision and default to him being innocent.

I still will never like him, and even less so now, but I can't in good judgement consider him a rapist unless it's proven betond a reasonable doubt.

*sigh* His troubled career continues

In the second press conference he also says her first name out loud. I guess the confidentiality agreement ends once you quit? Interesting

I wonder if someone could be liable for leaking the name. She's could very well face harassment no matter how this thing ends up.

Not to get all James Patterson on everyone, but if that was a REAL bag from this case that was actually processed.... it took someone very high up to get that out and I wonder if said person hasn't threatened the lawyer with physical harm to himself or his family.... And the way he's thrown them under the bus while backing down seems sketchy...I dunno, with as much money as the owner/team/NHLPA/Kane stands to lose on this case... it smells really, REALLY bad... Even if it WAS the lady or her family getting access, what does that say about other cases investigated by Buffalo PD? How many other evidence bags come up missing?

Word to the wise, at the end of the day lawyers are only out for themselves and their careers. And this is coming from a guy who grew up with two lawyers.

It's likely the evidence bag that held the accuser's personal belongings (cell phone, clothes, etc). The girl likely had items returned to her after they were processed & deemed not necessary in the investigation. That would probably explain why the bag had the examining nurse's name on it.
