Lawyer for Patrick Kane's accuser says evidence has been tampered with

Thomas Eoannou, the lawyer for Patrick Kane's accuser, says the evidence bag was delivered to alleged victim's mother's home Tuesday afternoon.

The evidence bag, including a rape kit, from the investigation into a woman's allegations of sexual assault against Patrick Kane was tampered with and anonymously delivered to her mother's home Tuesday, Thomas Eoannou, the lawyer for Kane's accuser, said during a news conference on Wednesday.

Eoannou called for an independent investigation into how this development, which could have a significant impact on the case, occurred. He also said he had no knowledge of any settlement talks while answering questions from reporters.
