Kane legal drama in Buffalo IV (no hearsay, verifiable sources only)

[hisgirlfriday]

Whoa!!! The accuser's attorney quit.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

No longer confidence in the "manner and means'" under which the bag came to his office

 

[Belfour20]

He's bailing no longer representing her.

 

[Colonel X]

Boom

 

[chicagoskycam]

He doesn't believe the bag story either now.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Reading between the lines, the accuser or the accuser's mom lied to the attorney about the bag story so he's dropping out of the case.

 

[Kitty Hawk]

Not surprised.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Uses her name again.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

I'm really stunned that a lawyer would hold a press conference like this to announce he was withdrawing from the case. You would never get this in Canada. Is this common in the US?

Oh god, he just referred to the woman by her first name

edit - I should add you don't get press conferences from lawyers in Canada the same way you get in the US - but even having said that, it's incomprehensible to me that a lawyer would withdraw from any case with a press conference like this.

 

[Colonel X]

Lawyer just used the girls name. Not good.

Damage control - if for any reason he was suspected of being involved in this he could be disbarred which would effectively end his career

 

[Nocando]

Maybe he should have done this investigation before yesterday's press conference. And wow, using her name.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

He's gotta be using her name on purpose. He might feel crossed here and now he looks like a moron. Not saying he should be. This is a ****show, wow.

 

[GGGHawks18]

This lawyer is a joke

 

[bwana63]

Agreed. It can't be a surprise that her lawyer is doing a press conference tonight before the Sedita tomorrow. He clearly doesn't care if the DA gets angry with him.

Sedita is a lame duck. And, yes, he clearly doesn't care if Sedita is smoking mad. And I'm guessing he is.

 

[TLEH]

personally, I think this guy was trying to do his best here, knew he was losing, went for it, and the family kinda ****ed him over.

 

[Colonel X]

At this point, guilty or not, there's almost no chance of a conviction of Kane.

 

[HawksandLove]

Nailed it!

All BS

Go away now.

Even if he were concerned about that, it wouldn't require conducting a press conference.

I know that legal advocacy in the US tends to be handled in a more public manner than Canada, but I'm in total disbelief that any lawyer would handle withdrawal like this. To me, it's something like this that could potentially get a lawyer disbarred.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

This bag story seems like a bunch of ********, the authorities called his bluff and the DA was about to get to business tomorrow.

 

[Keithsteeth]

That better be the case (and I think it very likely is, as he's supposedly a respected attorney).

the alternative is that he was potentially involved in falsifying evidence (along with several other things) which could end up getting him sanctioned if not outright disbarred

You don't normally get press conferences like this in the U.S. either.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

"I did not discuss this with my client"

You don't normally get press conferences like this in the U.S. either.

Well that's what I figured. But I started to wonder if there was something I just wasn't aware of.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

I guess what I expected was not that far off, but was not by any means expecting him to withdrawal.

 

[Keithsteeth]

I think it's pretty likely that Kane was setup here and indeed did nothing wrong.

That's the most obvious conclusion at least
