Robert Kraft officially pleads not guilty; asks for jury trial

It appears that Patriots owner Robert Kraft has indeed rejected the prosecution’s offer of a plea deal in the Florida solicitation of prostitution case he finds himself embroiled in. On Tuesday, Kraft and his legal team officially submitted a plea of not guilty to two misdemeanor charges of first-degree solicitation.

Kraft also asked the court for a jury trial, further signifying his belief that he will be exonerated and found innocent of all charges.

It’s an interesting turnaround for a man who just a few days ago offered up his first public apology since the story broke in late February that he was somehow connected to a Florida massage parlor prostitution ring sting.
