    It will be interesting to watch this play out. Maybe not as good as an old fashioned murder trial, but interesting.

    That’s probably another reason why they draw it out.

    Attention-seekers!

    They gotta extend their 15 min of fame to stay relevant.

    Not only the prosecution team is basking in the media notoriety fame but also RK. I never heard of these people until this case. I’m not a licensed lawyer but my guess is it does seem like this case could go down in the history books (or referenced in the digital archives) especially depending on the status of the appeal

    RK can afford the pr team who will use this case notoriety to his advantage

    Hmmm interesting. Anything is possible I suppose. Maybe Kraft really does just want to see his name plastered in the press, over and over, in connection with sucky sucky from a 52 year old sex worker at a seedy Asian massage parlor.

    OR...

    Maybe he's still fighting because it's still an active case and there's still the threat that video of his naked activities might be released?

    I'll let other readers decide which they believe is more likely.

    Perfect analogy. Riding the tiger indeed. If FL prosecutors simply accepted the judge's ruling, dropped the charges and agreed to seal the video evidence, then this would already be over. But they didn't, probably because the State Attorney for Palm Beach County, David Aronberg, made a great political circus out of gloating in press conferences and quotes about catching Kraft in this net. Now he has egg on his face after the video ruling and has no choice but to 'ride the tiger" in order to save face.

    Mmm...nothing like a good face ride

    That’s what I initially thought too But I think it was just ‘riding the tiger’ kind of like riding through a storm till it’s over

    "Wen Jiao visited General Tao and said to him, “In light of the current situation, there is no other way out. It is like riding on the back of a tiger and you cannot get off. The only way off is to kill it.”"

    ... and now to honor the General we have General Tao chicken in every Chinese restaurant in America! ;-)

    General Tso's Chicken may be named after a 19th century Hunanese general, but he certainly never ate anything resembling the sticky-sweet meal. The dish as most Americans know it today was invented by Peng Chang-kuei, a chef from the Hunan province. A well-known and talented chef, Peng orchestrated and supervised the grand banquets of the Chinese Nationalist government from the end of World War II until they were toppled by Mao Zedong’s Communists in 1949, Fuschia Dunlop wrote for The New York Times Magazine in 2007. Peng fled the country and found refuge in Taiwan alongside the Nationalist leadership.

    Well they offered him a plea deal and when he refused .... they prob figured they must punish through any means

    Reality is uber rich do not suffer same legal consequences so I would be surprised if the appeal is in favor of prosecution

    I'm not sure what his wealth has to do with the Constitutionality of "sneak and peak" warrants in places where nudity is expected, except that he is wealthy enough to hold the police to the fire for their misbehavior via the courts. But what he's doing will ultimately benefit all of us.

    As slowpoke rightly said, the state smells a loss coming and is getting desperate. The scary part to me is the lengths the state has been willing to go to, including trying to have Kraft's lawyers held in contempt for their efforts at trial, seizing the bank accounts of the women who serviced Kraft to get them to cooperate and now this.

    People who wield the power of the government are supposed be better than this. The arrogance and entitlement shown by the state DA office is mind blowing, which makes Kraft's efforts to reign them in all the more important.

    Yes!

    Imagine what lower economic people go thru when charged w/something that's even more serious.

    Agreed and we've seen it on this very issue. Look at how many people took plea deals in other parlor cases and even overruled the lawyers who wanted to fight this blatant abuse of these warrants. If anything, this further fueled the smug arrogance of FL prosecutors, who assumed that nobody would ever challenge them.

    I'm grateful they they finally netted a tiger with the will and means to put a stop to it. Not only is this going to exonerate every person caught by this sting, including the girls and Johns who could not fight this for themselves, but it is going to have implications statewide. As a FL resident who enjoys all sorts of activities, it will be comforting to know that the police will soon be much more limited in placing cameras in places where nudity is expected.
