Patrick Kane's lawyer says case is 'forever tainted'

Not long after the lawyer of Patrick Kane’s accuser withdrew from the case over “misrepresentations” about an evidence bag that was allegedly tampered with, Kane’s lawyer said the case should be stopped because the integrity of it is “forever tainted.”

Attorney Thomas Eoannou, who was representing the woman who is accusing Kane of rape, announced Thursday evening he was withdrawing from the case because there “may have been fabrications” as to how an evidence bag ended up at the house of the accuser’s mother.

“I received the storyline from the mother, and I'm not comfortable with that version of events,” Eoannou said.
