Something obviously happened, but when neither party treats the situation with the respect and protocol an investigation requires.. well, someone's getting robbed.

Hopefully the victim can get help elsewhere because it doesn't sound like the justice system is able to provide it.

I dunno. I'm not a big fan of Patrick Kane or the Blackhawks, and I think that something happened, but the way that this whole investigation has basically self-destructed makes me think that rape seems a little implausible, and that is really only honestly based on that poo poo with the evidence bag. Prior to that, I was interested in seeing it go to court.

She would lose a Civil case probably too. The problem with the Civil case is that Kane might be forced to settle just to avoid any private and embarrasing poo poo he didn't want out from getting out there, even if he's completely innocent.

The Mom literally destroyed any chance that her daughter had if there was an actual sexual assault that happened.


After the Mom's gently caress up(honestly the Daughter is either in on it, a complete idiot, or the Lawyer was incompetent for not running it by the Daughter(his client) before going public with the bag from the hostpital.)

It makes complete sense for no charges to be fired as it would be almost impossible to get a jury to convict him with no reasonable doubt even if Kane wasn't a popular hockey player.

Didn't he also find out they'd retained a second lawyer that he knew nothing about?

Yes, and the family apparently wasn't cooperating with investigators regarding the evidence bag.

So i have a theory (with no proof) that Kane secretly paid off the family and they scuttled the investigation with the evidence bag hoax.

It explains most of their acts and behavior. The only part that doesn't fit is how people so stupid could keep the DA's office from catching on and charging them.

The Buffalo News’ reports that the woman who accused NHL player and western New York native, Patrick Kane, 26, of rape “no longer wishes to cooperate” in the investigation.

So I guess that's that then.

I'd like to complain about this being another case of the rich and powerful stomping down the common folk but based on the information that's made it into the news, the victim's family are to blame for torpedoing this thing.

Why bother secretly paying someone off when you could legally do it admitting no fault. Also why would the person being paid off do something that could theoretically force themselves to face litigation of their own.

The more and more you see, read and hear about this case the less I actually believe Kane did anything wrong that night.

Because once the police are involved in any situation, the victim cannot simply call them and say 'drop the investigation I'm not interested anymore.'

I think the only thing the public knows for sure is that she had a bite mark on her and they pulled Kane's DNA from the mark. Even if that's the worst thing that happened that's still pretty drat gross.

There's been a lot of slut shaming going on since the beginning, though, in the media and general public opinion. That hasn't helped.

Eh, Biting (at least light bites anyway) or using teeth isn't 100% out of the ordinary during sex.

The answer to this question is money.

She literally just did that though by not cooperating. Without her testimony there is no choice but to drop the case.

If she was paid off secretly to tank the investigation, that's all she would have had to do from the start. Stop Cooperating, Why have her mom go through the elaborate hoax to tank the case, while also completely ruining a lawyer's credibility only to then stop cooperating.

Yeah, The Buffalo media ended up finding out her name and running off with it, also the Lawyer that got lied to essentially gave anyone else who didn't know her name her name because it was on that bag. Also that dumb loving Bar owner with his story about how a girl was hanging all over Kane keeping other girls away, only for it to turn out that that girl wasn't the one who claimed she was raped.

The whole thing is pretty hosed. Kane seems like a pretty lovely dude but even if that is the case you can't just assume he raped someone, we just don't know. Hate Kane for whatever other reasons you want, but the outcome in light of all that happened is the right one.

According to people like you, anything short of coddling the accuser and believing her story with 100% conviction from the get go constitutes slut shaming. Any slight hint of skepticism regarding her story is slut shaming.

The real victims here are the people that believe in the justice system rather than some esoteric notion of the "patriarchy holding these poor women down"
