WEST PALM BEACH Maxx Crosby Jersey , Fla. (AP) — A video that police say shows New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft paying a massage parlor worker for sex should not be publicly released for now because it would ruin his chance for a fair trial, a judge ruled Tuesday.Circuit Judge Leonard Hanser accepted arguments by Kraft’s attorneys that releasing the video would likely make it impossible to seat a jury for his trial on misdemeanor prostitution charges. He said the video shouldn’t be handed to the news media as a public record until a jury is seated, a plea agreement is reached or the state drops the case. Kraft has pleaded not guilty but has issued an apology for his conduct.Hanser wrote that under normal circumstances, an older man allegedly paying for sexual services would be “a rather tawdry but fairly unremarkable event.”“But if that man is the owner of the most successful franchise in, arguably, the most popular professional sport in the United States, an entirely different dynamic arises,” Hanser wrote. He said the video would be shown widely on television and on the internet and it would be difficult for him to find unbiased jurors. The Associated Press is one of several media companies that have argued that a redacted version of the video should be released under Florida’s broad public records laws.Kraft was one of 25 men charged with solicitation after police secretly installed cameras at the Orchids of Asia massage parlor in Jupiter, Florida, in what authorities initially said was an investigation into human trafficking. Prosecutors have since said they found no evidence of trafficking at the spa.Police say the video shows Kraft and other customers engaged in sexual acts with spa masseuses. Separately, Kraft’s attorneys are seeking to suppress the video on grounds that it is an invasion of privacy and that the search warrant to install the cameras was obtained using untrue statements indicating that authorities had found potential evidence of human trafficking. A hearing on that motion is scheduled for Friday.At a hearing later Tuesday, attorneys for spa owner Hua Zhang and therapist Lei Wang received permission from Circuit Judge Joseph Marx to subpoena a celebrity gossip website that says it was approached last week by someone offering to sell it the Kraft video. Marx told attorneys Kathleen S. Phang and Tama Beth Kudman that they could subpoena TheBlast.com and its phone provider to try to determine who contacted them.The Los Angeles-based website reported last week that it did not buy the video, but that the would-be leaker showed its employees a snippet. One of Kraft’s attorneys Hakeem Butler Jersey , Alex Spiro, testified that the website’s CEO and lawyer described to him what the alleged leaker showed and he believes it matches the video police have shown him. The website did not respond to an email seeking comment and the video has not shown up elsewhere.Phang and Kudman argued that someone at the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office or Jupiter police must be the leaker. Both agencies denied that, and Marx said Phang and Kudman haven’t proved the leak is real. He did order both agencies to hand over a list by Monday of all employees who have access to the video.“If this video has really been leaked, we are going to see it because people are going to pay money for it,” Marx said.Zhang and Wang have pleaded not guilty to felony prostitution charges. DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Now the Miami Dolphins will try to pull off another miracle.After beating New England with a pass and double lateral on the final play, the Dolphins are 7-6 and could use some more magic in the next three weeks to make the playoffs.Coach Adam Gase figures his Dolphins probably need to sweep their remaining games — at Minnesota, home against Jacksonville and at Buffalo — to earn an AFC wild-card berth.But when asked Monday if he’s optimistic, Gase grinned.“I’d better be,” he said. “We just won a game that … I like where we’re at. We’re alive.”The Dolphins saved their season with the play borrowed from Boise State and thus called “Boise.” Kenyan Drake took the last lateral and ran 52 yards to complete a 69-yard score for a 34-33 victory .The last player Drake eluded was 6-foot-6 tight end Rob Gronkowski, whose lumbering presence at the back of the Patriots‘ prevent defense prompted plenty of second-guessing in Boston and elsewhere.“I saw it was Gronk in front of me, and I was just like, ‘Look Chris Lindstrom Jersey , I’ve got somewhere to be,'” Drake said. “I had to get in the end zone.”For long-suffering fans, it was a moment to savor — the first time in the Dolphins’ 52-year history they won a game with a TD and no time left in regulation.“I’ve witnessed in person a lot of great sports moments in my life, but as far as football goes, I can’t say I have EVER seen anything quite like that!” tweeted Jack Nicklaus, who is the grandfather of Dolphins tight end Nick O’Leary but better known for his own sporting dramas. “Fantastic Fin-ish! Wow. WOW! Go Fins!”As a result of the improbable win, the Dolphins are unlikely playoff race participants.They’ve been outgained by 1,177 yards and outscored by 55 points, and rank 29th in the NFL in both offense and defense. But only five AFC teams have a better record, and they’re tied with three other teams in the race for the last wild-card berth.The challenge now for the Dolphins is to build on their miracle.“It means nothing if we don’t finish the season strong and find our way into the playoffs,” receiver Kenny Stills said.Gase was so ready to move on he turned off his phone soon after the game and ignored incoming congratulatory messages.“I was working on Minnesota,” he said, a little sheepishly.As preparations began http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/kaleb-mcgary-jersey , quarterback Ryan Tannehill showed good mobility in the team complex less than 24 hours after the win. He played the second half against New England with an injured right ankle .“He’s sore,” Gase said. “He’s walking around, so that’s good.”The Dolphins also hope AFC interception leader Xavien Howard can play after missing the Patriots game because of a left knee injury, but his status is uncertain.Tannehill has a passer rating of 129.9 in three games since returning from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for five games. His 105.7 rating for the season ranks sixth in the NFL.“He has played the way we need him to play these last few games,” Gase said.Tannehill was credited with three touchdown passes against the Patriots, including on the final play when his toss to Stills covered the first 14 yards before rugby broke out.The play kept the Dolphins relevant, at least for another week, Tannehill said.“We know the situation we’re in,” he said. “Before this game we’re sitting at 6-6 and on the outside looking in. We know every game from here on out is pretty much do or die.”The Dolphins remain long shots. But after what happened Sunday, it might to unwise to count them out.
