I missed the first couple minutes but somebody dropped off the tampered with rape kit at the victim's mother's house, possibly as a good samaritan tipster. The implication is that somebody with access to the kit tampered with the kit in an effort to protect Kane and the victim's lawyer is looking for the Feds to come in and investigate a potentially shady police department and/or DA's office. I'm just trying to figure out what the implications are. If they had evidence that someone related to Kane tampered with the kit, can that be used as probable cause to charge him? It doesn't seem like it. If it was determined that someone related to Kane was found to be the one that tampered it, could Kane be charged with obstruction of justice? Theoretically, they could find the person who did the tampering and that person could implicate Kane in a case involving bribing, obstruction of justice, tampering with evidence, etc. etc. At that point, the rape trial may be the least of his concerns.
