We're sorry but we have to indict you

So how sorry is Patrick Kane today? You may recall, earlier this week the hockey star from South Buffalo issued a very nice non-apology apology after he and his cousin were arrested for allegedly roughing up a 62 year old cabbie over 20 cents.

Today the Kanes were indicted by an Erie County grand jury. But only on misdemeanor charges…not a felony robbery charge. So I suppose he doesn’t have to be too sorry. Besides, all signs point toward a plea deal….the odds of Kane actually being convicted and going to jail are about the same as the odds of Max Afinogenov getting TO’s key to the city.

According to the district attorney, the fact that Kane is a celebrity has nothing to do with the possibility of a plea deal. Yeah, right. Just like the fact that he can afford high-priced, high-profile attorney Paul Cambria has nothing to do with it.

However the case turns out, Kane has already lost out in the court of public opinion. For that, we are sure he’s sorry.
