Erie County District Attorney, Frank A. Sedita announced this morning that he will not be bringing charges against Chicago Blackhawks star, Patrick Kane...Here are the key reason's Sedita pointed to, for why he won't be filing charges...
— There are significant material inconsistencies between the complainant’s accounts and those of other witnesses.
— The DNA results lend no corroboration whatsoever to the complainant’s claim of penetration, a required element of proof for a rape charge.
— The physical evidence and the forensic evidence, when viewed in tandem, tend to contradict the complainant’s claim that she was raped on Kane’s bed.
— Although Kane has exercised his constitutional right to remain silent (which prohibits questioning by law enforcement), he has made no known incriminating statements to any civilian, nor has he engaged in any conduct consistent with a consciousness of guilt.
Also, earlier this week, Kane's accuser signed a “Non-Prosecution Affidavit” signifying that she is no longer willing to continue with a criminal prosecution...
Through this whole investigation I have stood my ground that Kane's accuser was full of shit, at least on some level...When news broke that her rape kit showed no DNA from Kane below the waist, but jizz from two other men, I was 99% confident she was full of shit...When her mother tried to commit fraud with that whole bullshit evidence bag story, and Sedita debunked it all, I was 100% sure this chick was a liar...
For the record, while my view has been "pro-Kane," we at You Gab Sports did reach out to her and her father, offering an interview, to get their side out there...Clearly they turned us down....But the offer is still open.
Last night things got uglier for the accuser of Patrick Kane when THIS happened...
Then it was reported this morning in the Chicago Tribune, that the the accuser’s friend who was with her the night of the alleged rape no longer supports the alleged victim’s claims....
"Multiple sources told the Tribune that the female friend — a college classmate — no longer fully backs the accuser’s version of events and has expressed reluctance to testify. Without her corroboration, it would be harder for prosecutors to move the case forward, those sources said.
This comes one day after the woman’s lawyer called a news conference to allege an evidence bag that once contained the rape kit from the case had been anonymously left at the home of the accuser’s mother. Attorney Thomas Eoannou, however, announced late Thursday that he no longer believed the account provided by the mother and therefore was ethically obligated to withdraw from the case.
The developments over the past two days suggested that the case against Kane had significant weaknesses, including DNA evidence that Kane’s attorney said favors the player’s claims of innocence."
Then Erie County DA, Frank Sedita held a press conference to clarify the chain custody of the evidence in Erie County...As well, he clarified that a Rape Kit is contained in a box, not a brown bag...He also showed video proof of the handling of the Rape kit...He also explained what the brown bag contained and who was in possession of throughout time....Here he is breaking down the "facts"...
Here's a teaser...The accuser has looked dirty through this whole thing...Looks like she learned it from Mom!
I was watching for updates on the Kane investigation...Yesterday I saw reports being leaked out about Kane's accuser's rape kit...While DNA from Kane was under her fingernails, and on her shoulder...(where it was alleged Kane had bit her)....There was no DNA from Kane in her genitals...BUT...There was DNA from two others in her genitals....Semen from two others, but not Kane found in her rape kit...
That news had all those who thought the alleged victim was trying to setup Kane for a big pay-day, buzzing...While I wasn't buzzing, I did have my feeling that things about her story didn't paint her in a good light...Then I saw that the attorney for the accuser was going to have a press conference today...So, I held off on posting anything, to see what was going to come out of this press conference...
Well, Holy breaking news batman!
Here is what the accuser's attorney had to say...
What! The victim's rape kit, evidence bag was ripped open, and stuffed in her mother's door...
I get the attorney being pissed that his unnamed client has been getting bashed, but all the things put out there made it pretty easy not to trust her story...Yes, we hear about "Rape Culture" and how victims are attacked...But the other side of "Rape Culture" is the innocent guy getting his life ruined because she was looking for a money grab, or just felt bad about herself after a night of drinking and taking ecstasy...(which her social media said she had done)...It was easy to look at what was out there, and not trust her...But then news like this breaks, and now there are some serious questions....
Questions for Kane and those around him...Questions for the DA...Questions for the police....
The Hamburg Police Department put said in a statement today about the bag after Eoannou’s announcement, “In regard to the information conveyed today by Mr. Thomas Eoannou, the Hamburg Police Department will cooperate with any authorized investigation regarding the handling of evidence and the procedure of such. That said, The Hamburg Police Department has documentation that unequivocally demonstrates that it’s handling of the evidence and the integrity of it’s chain of custody of evidence in this case is unassailable. As is policy with active investigations, there will be no further comment regarding this situation.”
The Erie County Commissioner of Central Police Services, John Glascott said,
“All evidence related to this case that was given to Erie County Central Police Services by the Town of Hamburg Police Department is accounted for and remains in its original packaging in the possession of Erie County Central Police Services, This includes the evidence in the rape kit and the packaging itself. This evidence has been analyzed and reports of that analysis sent to the appropriate agencies.”
So the shit is all accounted for, but some how the rape kit evidence bag ended up in the door of the alleged victim's mother's house....I honestly don't know what to think...Could all the fucking liars in the room please stand up!?! Some one is full of shit! Is it the police? Is it Kane? Is it the accuser? Her mother? Her lawyer? yeah, I went there...I'm not ruling anyone out...
It was leaked that she had DNA and semen from two other guys in her rape kit, but not from Kane...And boom suddenly we have evidence tampering...Who is doing the tampering?
Without a doubt there needs to be a major investigation of this entire case...All sides need to be thoroughly looked into...This is mess, and going to become a nightmare for the Chicago Blackhawks and the NHL...Besides whoever up there in Erie County who is turning the dirt...
I have been tracking the Patrick Kane Rape allegations for some TIME, and I even went as far as to say, he was SET UP...I felt even more confident in that when the guy who was his driver on the night in question, a police officer, came out and said much of what the accuser said was bullshit...
Now, from information coming out from The Buffalo News, the Hamburg Police Department, and the Erie County District Attorney's Office, Kane won't be charged with Rape or Sexual Assault..."at this time"...The reason? A lack of evidence...
Remember, in this country, the law says Innocent until proven Guilty...
It was reported yesterday that Kane had met with investigators...And later it came out from WGRZ, that no settlement agreements have been discussed...I'm glad to see that...I hate when people claim to be innocent while they pay accusers off...
A source via Sports Mockery that has been spot-on throughout this whole thing with details about the accuser, gave this bit of information...
"Kane will be cleared because of lack of evidence indicating a rape occurred. The alleged victim has been informed and is hysterical crying. Investigators called the alleged victims lawyers last night , said not enough evidence to charge Kane “at this time” they will continue to investigate to see if any other leads or witnesses come forward."
Someone within the Buffalo Police Department also said,
"I was told that court security personnel and officers who are not currently on vacation were told they should remain the the area and available. Presumably for an upcoming press conference, however that could take a while."
Kane's lawyer, Paul Cambria has not commented...But they could be because he will prefer to do some grandstanding at a press conference, as those lawyers love to do...
Now, are all those people that automatically assumed Kane was guilty, and trashed him going to come out with apologies...Post articles with huge letters that say, 'We're Sorry We Called Patrick Kane a Rapist'....I fucking doubt it!
...And no, I'm not talking about a great pass from Duncan Keith or Jonathan Toews...
Since this story has broken, Patrick Kane has had to live with the scar of being called a rapist...Every day something else comes out in the media, and next to Kane's name, it says Rape...Or Rape allegations...The Internet loves to harp on this country's "Rape Culture"...And yes, women are often treated horrible when they come forward with an accusation of rape...But the Huffington Post and the rest of the Internet never wants to talk about the other side of "Rape Culture"...
The side where a woman accuses a man of a rape, that wasn't really a rape...Just as a rape victim can't wash away what happened...Neither can the accused...Even if the accused is innocent...Or like Kane, a high-profile person, who has not been charged with a crime...But his name still sits next to the words rape allegations, or rapist...
Four days ago I posted THIS...A number of things didn't make the accuser look good...The site Sports Mockery hasn't stopped digging into this...While most of the Chicago media, and well, most of the media already have Kane guilty, and looking into how the Blackhawks can get out of Kane's new $84 million deal, Sports Mockery hasn't caved in yet...And I don't blame them...
As mentioned in the previous post, the alleged victim deleted her social media account...Or at least went Black Ops with them...(made private, changed her profile name)...There is something people really need to learn...just because you change your account, or delete it, or delete tweets...They already went out there...It's all floating around in the ether of the Internet...
Well, Ms. former University of Buffalo Cheerleader's tweets have been caught...Tweets she tweeted in between 11:00 PM and 3:00 AM, the night she was allegedly raped...Her last tweets before her social media accounts went bye, bye...
What's the next line from that song Cheerleader?
"I need that money like the ring I never won, I won." So there's her final words on twitter...Smells fishy to me...Lake Erie fishy! Then it's shutdown and she goes to the police...I wonder how many pics there are on her old Instagram account, rubbing up on Kane, having drinks with him...Doing "molly" with her friends before they got to Skybar... I'm not saying Kane didn't bite her shoulders...I'm not saying Kane didn't get rough...I'm not saying didn't fuck her...I'm saying there was sex...And now she's trying to fuck him...$84 million contract... Oh, and she has gotten her father's attorney on board...The attorney he used in 2012 when suing parties over “fraud related to a private finance transaction.”...The transaction amounts vary between $300,000 and over $1,000,000... Does any of that really matter in this case...Maybe...Maybe not...But something stinks about this unknown woman....She has had her name protected, while Kane's has been smeared with an accusation that he will never be able to shake...Even though he has not been charged...
