Prosecutors granted more time in Kraft case

Any hopes Robert Kraft might have that his solicitation of prostitution case will be resolved before the NFL season begins took a hit Tuesday, when a Florida judge granted prosecutors' request to extend the time they have to bring Kraft to a speedy trial.

It's a small victory for the Palm Beach County State Attorney's office after Judge Leonard Hanser handed them a major defeat earlier this month, ruling that video surveillance of Kraft -- the only evidence known to implicate him -- could not be used as evidence in the case.

Prosecutors announced their intention to appeal that decision Friday, and it won't be heard until Sept.
