Not guilty.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who has been charged with two misdemeanor offenses for solicitation, entered a plea on Thursday through his attorney, Jack Goldberger. Kraft has also requested a bench trial. Under Florida law, a criminal defendant can elect to waive his or her Sixth Amendment right to trial by jury so long as the prosecutor and judge agree. This means that, in the unlikely event that Kraft’s case ever goes to trial, a judge probably would decide it rather than a jury.
