Noting that the alleged victim’s own lawyer held up the bag with her name on it. Not the DA/prosecution.

No, it’s pretty obvious that we’re not, seeing as how every piece of evidence suggests that she’s lying

There is literally evidence that proves it was unlikely and no evidence exists suggesting that he did it. Zero evidence. Zero.

No, it’s perfect grammar. Crack a dictionary open much?

It strikes me as profoundly fucked up that after all of this the accuser still walks away with the protection of anonymity while Kane now gets to be known as a rapist in the minds of a great many idiots who think that because ‘omg false accusations almost never happen’ that having a specific rape allegation made…

Considering that they’re Partizan fans, it was probably Slivovica.

No, I fully understand why I’m being criticized. She’s a lying whore, and Patrick Kane is innocent. I’m calling her a lying whore to piss people like you off, not because I truly believe it. But I’m happy to know that the world will never run out of people that truly will believe it when they read the headlines. Keep…

If you can’t understand that celebrities, especially pro athletes, are a huge target for false accusations and that the definition of rape has been so badly eroded by ultra-liberal mental cases, then I don’t know what to tell you. If you weren’t there, and you didn’t see him do anything wrong with your own eyes, and…

It’s just as ridiculous to call Kane a rapist than it is to call her a lying whore. That was the point I was trying to make. Automatically believing every accuser in a rape case is the most ridiculous trend I notice on comment sections like these. Thankfully none of you bozos actually work in law enforcement or as…

It’s just as likely that she was a lying whore than that Kane was guilty. In fact, it’s more likely that she was making shit up at this point. The fact that people take a mere accusation that never even led to formal charges in order to automatically assume that Kane is guilty makes me sick.

Sorry this is Gawker, a rich white male is guilty regardless of facts.

Very glad this is over and we don’t have to hear about the story anymore. Glad that Kane has been cleared legally (I’m not going to presume to know what happened that night, so that’s the only thing he can be cleared of).
The downside is all the dumbass bros who claim to be Hawks fans who are using this opportunity to…

agreed. the “coverage” of the case on deadspin was embarrasing.
