With a member of law enforcement apparently using the potential release of a private video in the Robert Kraft case as leverage for a deal, one of Patriots owner Robert Krafts lawyers has taken public an attack on the legality of the recording.
Weve looked at . . . the law around the warrant for the video surveillance inside the spa, and we think it is a violation of the Fourth Amendment, William Burck said, via Emily Smith of the New York Post. We also believe the traffic stop [made by police as the men left the spa] was illegal and a violation of the Constitution. . . .
The state attorney should take a look how the evidence in this case was obtained by the police and explain how this evidence passes Constitutional muster, because we dont see it.
These comments confirm what had been percolating as to the planned assault on the case: Regardless of whether the state can prove that solicitation happened (which, frankly, becomes difficult if not impossible without evidence of an advance promise made to pay for sex), a successful challenge to the legality of the video and other evidence, like the traffic stop that was used to identify Kraft in the video, will gut the case entirely.
Burck also pointed out that prosecutors have refused to agree to keep the video confidential, forcing Krafts lawyers to take the matter to court.
