(8-17) Patrick Kane talks with reporters (audio)
Erie County Grand Jury indicted Patrick Kane and his cousin on misdemeanors only and dropped the felony charge of robbery.
Initially they charged with: idiocy, second-degree robbery (Class C felony) and two Class A misdemeanors: fourth-degree criminal mischief and theft of service.
Indicted on: third degree assault, theft of services and an added harassment charge, which is a “municipal violation”.
If convicted, they would face up to a year in jail.
Never happen. Enter plea deal.
Reportedly, Kane’s lawyer, Paul Cambria said there have been discussions but nothing decide on/agreed to as yet.
Arraignment before Chief Buffalo City Court Judge Thomas Amodeo: Thursday 2pm EST.
The media got to Kane before his lawyer did and ambushed after his skate.
Doesn’t his lawyer (or his cousin) know how to text?
PATRICK KANE:
That’s news to me to be honest with you. I haven’t heard yet. I’ll talk to my lawyer after this. If the felony is dropped, that’s obviously a positive step. The sooner it gets over, I think the more everyone will be happy about it. I’m just excited to go home at this point.
