LAURA: ROBERT KRAFT PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO SOLICITING PROSTITUTION AT A FLORIDA A. A JUDGE RULED SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS FROM THE A CANNOT BE USED IN THIS CASE. BUT LAWYERS ARE QUESTIONING THAT AND SUGGESTING KRAFT COULD BE FACING A FELONY CHARGE INSTEAD OF TWO MISDEMEANOR COUNTS. WHAT IS THE ARGUMENT FOR HIS FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS. JOINING US, A FORMER PROSECUTOR AND TRIAL ATTORNEY. PROSECUTORS TURNING YOU HAVE THE HEAT. AS A FORM PROSECUTOR, WALK US THROUGH WHAT THAT MEANS. IT SOUNDS LIKE AN UNUSUAL MOVE. HOW WOULD THIS CHANGE HOW PROSECUTORS PROCEED IN THE CASE. >> THIS IS A SURPRISE TO ME. THERE IS A SUPPRESSION ISSUE. KRAFT'S ATTORNEYS GOT VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SUPPRESSED. PROSECUTORS SAID TO THE JUDGE THERE WAS NO HUMAN TRAFFICKING. SO WHEN I READ THE FLORIDA LAWS I DON'T SEE A FELONY THAT COULD BE FOR TRAFFICKING. THERE ARE MISDEMEANORS HE'S CURRENTLY CHARGED WITH. IF THEY ARE THREATENING THIS, WHY DIDN'T YOU CHARGE THE THIRD DEGREE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I THINK THIS IS DISINGENUOUS FOR THE PROSECUTOR TO THREATEN THE THIRD DEGREE WHEN THEY ONLY CHARGED MISDEMEANORS TO THIS POINT. LAURA: WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU ARE IN ROBERT KRAFT'S ATTORNEY'S SHOES? WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD DIG YOUR HEELS IN ON A DEFENSE WITH THIS? >> THE FIRST THING I WOULD DO IS TELL MR. KRAFT NOT TO BE MAKING ANY PUBLIC STATEMENTS. THERE IS A FAIR PROBABILITY THAT IF THE STATE DOES NOT WIN THE APPEAL TO REVERSE THE DECISION FOR THE ADMISSIBILITY OF THE VIDEOTAPE, THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVE THE CASE. BECAUSE THAT JUDGE SUPPRESSED THE FACT HE WAS PULLED OVER AND IDENTIFIED. THEY WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN FOR SURE THAT IT WAS ROBERT KRAFT RSH UNTIL THEY PULLED HIM OVER AND I.D.'D HIM. THERE HAS BEEN NO DISCUSSION IN THE MEDIA ABOUT ARE THEY WILLING TO TESTIFY? THERE IS A CHANCE THIS CASE WON'T BE ABLE TO STAND ON ITS OWN MERITS. LAURA: WHEN THE JUDGE RULED THE POLICE DID NOT HAVE A SNEAK AND PEEK WARRANT. WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE FIVE DAYS OF TAPE THAT WERE ROLLED ON AT THE DAY A WHICH CAUGHT WHO KNOWS WHAT ON SURVEILLANCE. DOES ALL THAT GO AWAY IF THE WARRANT WASN'T PROPER? KRAFT'S ATTORNEYS, THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT HOURS AND HOURS OF TAPE. >> THE JUDGE'S RULING PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED IN A PROSECUTION AGAINST THE DEFENDANT. BUT IT'S NOT THAT THE VIDEO WILL BE DESTROYED. MAYBE THERE WILL BE SOME CIVIL PIECES WHERE THAT COULD BE USED. THOSE ARE GREAT QUESTIONS. BUT THE GREATEST IMPACT ON THE COURT'S RULING IS IT CAN'T BE USED IN THE PROSECUTION AGAINST CRAFT. IF THIS VIDEO CANNOT BE USED BY THE PROSECUTOR, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY WILL PROVE THE CASE AGAINST KRAFT. ARE THEY GOING TO TURN TO THE PEOPLE GIVING THE SEXUAL FAVORS? WILL THEY BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY ROBERT KRAFT WITHOUT JUST THE MEDIA REPORTS? ALL GREAT ISSUES FOR KRAFT AND THE DEFENSE TEAM. THEY DID A GREAT JOB SO FAR. LAURA: THERE IS ALSO THE ISSUE OF AT LEAST FOUR PEOPLE WHO LEGITIMATELY RECEIVED MASSAGES WITH THEIR CLOTHES OFF WHEN CAMERAS WERE ROLLING. YOU GO IN AND YOU THINK YOU ARE GETTING A MASSAGE. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THAT AND WHERE WILL IT GO FROM HERE? >> THAT IS THE EXACT REASON WHY THE JUDGE GRANTED THE MOTION TO SUPPRESS THE VIDEOTAPE. HE SAYS THAT'S UNREASONABLE. HE'S GOT FOUR PEOPLE WALKING INTO A BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT FOR LEGAL REASONS, AND AS THEY ARE UNROBING FOR A MASSAGE THEY ARE BEING VIDEOTAPED. THAT GETS TO THE WHOLE POINT OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT, AND THE REASONABLENESS. HERE IT WAS NOT REASONABLE. NOT ONLY THIS JUDGE, BUT FOUR OTHER JUDGES IN FLORIDA RULED IN THESE TYPE CASES THAT THAT'S OVERLY BROAD. ROBERT KRAFT'S LAWYERS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB. LAURA: THE CASE MAY BE ELEVATED TO A FELONY. WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST TAKEAWAY FROM WHERE THE CASE STAND RIGHT NOW? THERE IS STILL MORE TO COME. >> THE APPEAL WILL BE DECIDED. IF KRAFT'S ATTORNEYS ARE SUCCESSFUL, I THINK THE CASE WILL DISMISS THIS. THE THIRD DEGREE WAS IN THE BRIEF. IT WASN'T A PUBLIC STATEMENT. I DON'T ANY THEY WILL GO THAT ROUTE. >> I THINK THE JUDGE IS MAKING A LEGALLY CORRECT MOVE. I THINK THE PROSECUTORS -- THEY ARE GOING AFTER A 78-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO IS A WIDOW. MARRIED FOR 48 YEARS, HE HAS DONE TREMENDOUS THINGS FOR THE NFL. I THINK THEY ARE USING HIM FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSES. I DON'T SEE WHY IF THEY ARE NOT CHARGE OTHER CITIZENS WHO ALLEGEDLY GO TO THESE ESTABLISHMENTS FOR ILLEGAL REASONS, WHEN THEY GET CHARGED WITH A MISDEMEANOR, WHY ARE THEY TARGETING A MAN LIKE ROBERT KRAFT WHO IS SUCH A
