Lawyer for Patrick Kane accuser abruptly quits over evidence bag

The lawyer of a woman accusing Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane abruptly quit the case Thursday night, saying he’s no longer comfortable representing the woman because of how her mother reported finding an evidence bag that once held the woman’s rape kit. Thomas Eoannou told reporters Thursday that he doesn’t believe the story he was told about how the bag was found. The reversal comes after police said Wednesday that the rape kit and the bag itself were handled properly. Eoannou previously said that the folded-up paper bag was found by the woman’s mother between her storm door and front door. – AP
