Hey friends I wrote a post on the NHL Facebook page chiding them for their terrible handling of this Kane rape accusation and would encourage you all to do the same.

Yeah it's pretty clearly some kind of intimidation or harassment of the complainant. Not sure how daft you'd have to be to consider any other alternative.

e: Talking about the fake evidence drop with everyone's names in it, to an unpublished location.

Also we should know by now that "well he hasn't been charged" is cop-out bullshit when it comes to sexual assault and rape

Thank you. Not sure if some of you are naive or what but it's really this simple.

This is America, buddy. I'm free to form opinions on anyone I want regardless of evidence. Kane is a shitheel and I hope he gets 17 years in jail.

Aww jeez Fateo and I was getting ready for another season of Habs-Bruins shitposting rivalry.

Maybe we can be friends after all. :unsmith:

So in the interest of sorting out wtf is going on, I heard on the Buffalo news last night that the prosecutor is having a press conference this morning to discuss recent developments.

Anyone know when/where this will be streamed?


e: Prosecution presser is at 11am EST. I guess it will be on twitter because Buffalo NY doesn't yet have streaming capabilities or something.

e2: Fuckin' lol at anyone who thinks trusting the police is a rational thing to do in 2015 A.D.

so far, everyone's reporting that today's presser is just for him to address the allegation of evidence tampering

Yeah I fully expect him to say something like "the evidence being used in this investigation has a clear chain of custody and has not been tampered with. We are proceeding accordingly and this other mystery bag does not affect the state's investigation." Followed by a string of "as this is an open investigation I cannot comment" to whatever questions are asked.

She said that it "it was specific to [her] & the places [she] go[es]." She's gotten a ton of vitriol directed towards her merely because she will not say that Kane is innocent. Nevermind the fact that she has never said he was guilty either.

Just the plastic bag, that he put the bag the mother gave him in. There's no problem with that.

This is really hosed up and sad if it's true. Also:

All he means is that he hasn't made a determination yet. He agreed it would be by some decision deadline to a reporter but I didn't hear what it was.

He does say this whole scenario certainly raises new questions.

the accuser was at her mother's house before she went to the hospital and changed her top. when they went to the hospital, the nurse was going to give the mother a brown paper bag to collect the top in. the police showed up and collected the shirt at some point, and did not take the paper bag. the mother is denying that she ever took possession of the brown paper bag, but the DA made it very clear he thinks she is lying about that, and now they're going to investigate the hoax about this paper bag

Prosecutor also straight up suggested that someone would do this to cast doubt on DNA evidence, for whatever purpose.


e: The mother invented the whole finding the bag story. Also calling it a rape kit. Also the attorney Eoannou is an idiot.

I fear for a world where people that are simply accused of a crime get punished before anything is even remotely close to being proven. I mean, Kane wasn't even arrested man. What the hell should the NHL be punishing him over? The fact that rape is generally considered bad, and his name was loosely connected to an incident?

Now, if he had been formally arrested, I'd agree with you to a certain extent.

There are different standards for criminal courts and accountability to your employers. :ssh:

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.

Dexo posted:

Why bother secretly paying someone off when you could legally do it admitting no fault.

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.'

Dexo posted:

Also why would the person being paid off do something that could theoretically force themselves to face litigation of their own.

The answer to this question is money.
