A jury trial? Is he a nut? Must want his junk introduced as evidence.

Also. Two Bentley's?

My guess is that the county prostitutor attempted to coerce a plea deal costing him far more than a conviction would.

Maybe at his age it’s just easier to be embarrassed, especially as the public already knows.

Maybe he wants to see if they actually have the evidence before making a deal. Or maybe he knows he’s innocent.

All this for a rub-n-tug?

A jury full of Dolphin fans? He’s better off asking for a bench trial...particularly if the video was illegally set up and/or if the traffic stop itself was illegal.

If I were in his position I’d do the same thing. Your a 70 yo billionaire being charged with a misdemeanor, he could have some fun.

“Yes your honor I am 78 and can still get it up! She also told me she would love me long time so I went back to see if she meant it.”

What’s to be gained by skipping arraignment?

If I were him, I would hire a very good, very expensive private investigator. I would award him a very healthy bonus for every good piece of information found On the cops who ran the operation, the chief out there bloviating, the DA, and the judge who authorized the search warrant to hide cameras in there, etc.
What’s good for me is good for thee. I bet some disinfecting sunshine would show all kinds of closet homosexuals, men cheating on their wives, watching the creepiest porn you can imagine, drug use, underage girlfriends, etc.

If you’re a billionaire, and you’re 70, Might as well live a little

I’d fight it too. He’s 77 years old and a billionaire six times over. South Florida has drug dealers on every street corner and the police are screwing with 77 year old men who want to get a wank from a masseuse? Who cares, let the guy enjoy himself while he still can. It’s silly and petty & if I was on the jury you’d have a hard time getting me to vote to convict someone over something like this. Anywhere in the far east a tug at the end is just a part of a massage, nobody considers it prostitution. All the trafficking talk is to try and make it sound much more serious than it is, women have been selling themselves since the dawn of time and 99.99% of them have done it willingly and without reservation. They don’t call it the world’s oldest profession for no reason. The social justice warriors don’t want to admit that the vast majority of women selling sex do it because it’s an easy way to make money and they don’t mind being a whore. There are plenty of women that don’t mind wanking off an old dude for $100, they don’t have to be forced into doing it.

Why waste time at an arraignment? That's time better put to use going to a spa and get a massage to help you forget about legal troubles.

Cochran and Kardashian are dead, but there are still some Dream Teamers around like Scheck and Shapiro.

He’s out on bail. All that will happen is to give a plea. He pled not guilty and asked for a jury trial (don’t know the reasoning there). There’s nothing more to gain. No discovery of evidence so it’s a waste of Mr. Krafts time to appear and fight off the press going to and from courtroom.

This is why you always have your phone's video rolling.

Then you could just say you were filming a movie.

In Bentley’s no less . A white one and a blue one. Nothing says look at me I’m a 70-year-old guy with more money than brains and I like to call attention to myself by going to the massage parlor in my Bentley’s.

He’s hoping that the jury will be hung.

Or,maybe the evidence won’t stand up in court.

went to a function of my daughters on Saturday in Chicago. We had to take the train and then Uber. On the way home, while waiting for the Uber to take us to Union Station, down the street comes a Bentley convertible, top down, black guy, huge flowing white fur coat, glasses like Elton John, total pimp hat. We were on the curb looking for our Uber car, and I told my wife, that’s a Bentley, gotta be 200k car. He drove past us, it rattled our teeth the sound system. I’d be pissed.. but... no... I was jealous. that car was very fine. Musta been a musician or lottery winner, because he was dressed like a pimp out of a movie, it was kind of comical.
