Chicago Blackhawks: Kane Evidence Tampered With, Attorney Says

Thomas J. Eoannou, the attorney for the woman accusing Chicago Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane of rape, announced at a press conference Wednesday afternoon that the accuser’s mother found the bag holding evidence from her daughter’s rape kit opened and sitting on her doorstep on Tuesday. According to the Chicago Tribune, Eoannou showed the media a photo of the bag that had the accuser’s name on it and the initials of the nurse who administered the test.
