As for standing, I haven't said anything about it but Koko's told you several times now. And you yourself said the plea deal was lame...why? That's right, because it made him admit that he would be found guilty in a trial AND the video would be released. That's a "win" in anyone's book and avoids wasting time and money. And the video can be released to the public even if ruled inadmissible in court. True, Kraft can ride this pony and end up with a sore crotch (which means needing to find another rub and tug joint pronto!) And the DA has the video and someone ready to roll on Bobby, which is why he's not budging on offering a lesser plea deal. It's still against the law. How many people got busted for harmless weed offenses, and now weed is becoming legal all over the country? It's not an excuse. Lame excuses? What if they are true? Every defendant would try to get off on a a technicality! You have even said you would too. SO what on earth are you arguing about at this point? Your own quote from the Philly DA said he couldn't tell which side was telling the truth...so he filed no charges (although he was kicking a guy who was on the ground and of no possible threat to McCoy). You claimed that was proof of McCoy's innocence--you're the Don Trump of this thread! koko went quiet when he couldn't find anyone who also says the perps have no standing to challenge that video.... There really can't be a "lesser deal" than: "we won't even charge you with a crime!". So I don't know what you're getting at there either. The DA here just had eat a huge sh--t sandwich that he himself prepared when (finally) admitting the obvious--there was no human trafficking. Ne "sex slaves". No "iceberg". Now his only chance to save face is hope a judge allows for the release of the that would likely be ruled inadmissible in court--so that Kraft and the other solicitors of pleasure can be convicted where he clearly can't convict them---in the court of public opinion. Is he saying "we will see all of these men in court where the state will present its case"? No. He's saying "i'm sure these tapes are going to be released to the public". His office already has it's first lawsuit over the tape. When the press requests that they all are released, many more lawsuits will follow--and they will be indefensible.

Opening up multiple battle fronts is asinine. You have an attachment to an outcome and can’t see the moment for what it is. Kraft is a Titan of industry and has friends in high places in multiple locations. This thing goes away and you are the one left with a sore crotch.... maybe you try some of that weed.

But even if we were to take the DA's statement at face value, there's still no evidence to charge him on, oh Adam Schiff of this thread. Koko just doesn't want to waste time. I don't blame. I OTOH like to see you twist yourself into a pretzel "not defending" Bobby, unlike how you've "defended" other people who have committed crimes, whether real or alleged. And the DA isn't eating anything. He got a bunch of billionaires getting their prostates emptied on video multiple times. The punishments are secondary to the ***** sandwiches those guys are going to have to eat daily when people start seeing those videos. I bet they'd wish they had been involved in a bar fight instead.

In this country, evidence obtained illegally or under false pretense is not admissible in court. If it is true that the video /warrant was improperly obtained, these dependents have a right to challenge the evidence against them, whether we think they are guilty or not. Are you really arguing otherwise? You can't because you've already conceded this is what you or anyone would do. The cops were so happy for the Philly DA refused to charge McCoy that they roasted him in public: "in Philadelphia, a vicious assault on off-duty police officers by a rich athlete and his friends goes completely unpunished. Why aren't there any Civilian Review Boards looking into this outrage. (sic) For the police in Philadelphia, justice delayed is justice denied." Philly cops sure have a funny way of saying "thank you"! Do you agree that these defendants have no standing to challenge the video, despite no one else claiming this in all the coverage of this story? Simple question. The PB DA embarrassed himself and his office with his press conference about his "human trafficking" fantasy, and subsequent collapse of that whole case. He knew there was no trafficking going on. This should be clear by his failure to act for the several months he took to amass hundreds of peeping Tom vids to catch "bunch of billionaires". Look, this keeps coming back to your unnatural affinity for LeSean McCoy. It's getting creepy. Accept him for what he is: a bad man and a decent RB at the terminus of his career. Find a better hero to worship---maybe I'll join you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying that it had no bearing on the fact that he committed a crime.

But I guess the good part is we won't be hearing any guffawing from you in the future when a Bills player gets in trouble, and I look forward to hearing your defense plans for them. Of course the cops were unhappy. They got their asses kicked and got no money from it. Because their story was refuted by witnesses. They were hoping for at least one charge so they could file a civil suit against Shady. The DA saw through it and told them to go get their shine boxes. You have to be the only person in the world to think that any DA would favor an athlete over his own cops. Unless Shady was claiming racism and had some connection to Obama... I don't think they have standing but realize that his lawyers will argue that they do. In any case, the video is being shopped around as we speak, so it's coming out whether anyone likes it or not, and that's the worst outcome for Bobby. At least Shady plays for my team.

Mr. WEO Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 How did you conclude they don’t have standing? Everything else you just posted is starkly symptomatic of what I was talking about regarding your fixation with McCoy or other Bills players who were boneheads. Many here pointed out they were boneheads because they didn’t struggle with the obvious while still being fans. Ive acknowledged Krafts a POS. I’ve said he’s guilty. Then I went on to post items found everywhere on the internet regarding this issue, we both agree that Kraft and his lawyer are doing exactly what you, me and any one would do.....and yet you are still flailing away with “I can’t believe you’re ‘defending’ Kraft!!!!”. ok. You win. I just feel bad for a full grown man who feels the need to engage in this kind of hero worship. Even the lion grows bored feasting on the slowest oldest gazelle. There’s no guffawing, just slow head shaking at this point. Take the W. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toesy Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 PR wise IMO the prosecution blew it-their intent was to cast Kraft as a villain and now by pushing this tape out there they turn the guy into something of a martyr (I am sure NE fans feel that way)-really this isn't a lot different from the guv secretly taping Robert Kraft taking a dump and then pushing the tape onto the internet to try to hurt the guy somehow-and let's be honest-anyone excited to watch a tape of Kraft getting tugged would probably be just as excited to watch a tape of the guy taking a dump.

What's your excuse? With respect to your first two sentences if the legal procedures were not followed by the police authorities then the case is usually dismissed by the judicial system. You may not like it but the bigger transgression is when the authorities misuse their authority than the actual criminal act, especially in this case that is not a serious transgression. I don't understand the argument that Kraft and his attorneys don't have the standing to challenge the tape evidence used against him when that is exactly what he is doing. I'm not predicting whether he will prevail in this evidence issue but the fact that he is challenging it indicates that he has the standing to do so.

There are plenty of crimes that are committed that are dismissed or don't result in a conviction for a lot of legal (technical) reasons. The bigger criminal justice concern revolved around human trafficking. A serious crime. That case didn't materialize. The ancillary issue regarding paid for stimulating massaging on a 77 yr old widower is a low grade violation.

True the bigger concern revolved around human trafficking...as it pertained to sex slaves engaging in prostitution. Which is exactly what Bobby got busted for, minus having a sex slave being used (I would assume he got to choose the non-sex slave, considering his wealth). Whether it can't be used in the case remains to be seen and the only reason Bobby isn't taking the plea deal and wasting the time and effort of everyone is because he wants the tapes sealed.

The DA and sheriff admitted weeks ago that there was no human trafficking or sex slaves. There never was and they knew it from the start. If not for Kraft fighting the charges (yes, we're all pretty sure he got the tugs) the law would still be holding possible trafficking charges over the heads of everyone. Now, as a Patriots' fan, I'm disappointed (most of us are) that Kraft continues to fight the soliciting charges, assuming there actually is a video. Even though everything was consensual, it's still against the law in Florida. He took a simple misdemeanor that would have been long forgotten about and has dragged it out. Still, this does absolutely nothing to tarnish his legacy as a humanitarian and a philanthropist. Most of us have to pay for dinner and a movie to get what Kraft got. He just cut out the middleman.
