[RealGM Wiretap]

Robert Kraft entered a not guilty plea on two misdemeanour counts of first-degree solicitation and has asked for a jury trial.

The plea comes days after Kraft apologized in his first public comment since being charged for allegedly receiving sexual services at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida, on Jan. 19 and 20.

\"I am truly sorry,\" Kraft said in a statement on March 23. \"I know I have hurt and disappointed my family, my close friends, my co-workers, our fans and many others who rightfully hold me to a higher standard.\"

What's he apologizing for if he's pleading not guilty?

You plead in criminal court to provide the best outcome for you out of criminal court.

That doesn't change what is known/unknown what you did/didn't do. If he has a better life outcome by pleading not guilty then he pleads not guilty. It doesn't change the impact to those around him though.

I don't think anyone believes he is "not guilty".
