Robert K. Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots, has asked the prosecutor who charged him with solicitation of prostitution to turn over “evidence materially favorable” to his case.
The request, made by Kraft’s lawyers, is the latest salvo in a high-profile fight over two misdemeanors that allege that Kraft paid for sex in late January at a massage parlor in Jupiter, Florida. While he does not deny being at the massage parlor, Kraft insists that he did nothing illegal, and that much of the evidence being used against him was improperly obtained by police.
Kraft has not accepted a plea deal from the Palm Beach County state attorney, Dave Aronberg, because it would have obligated him to admit that prosecutors would win the case if it went to trial.
