(CNN) A Palm Beach County, Florida, judge ordered the destruction of video evidence previously suppressed in the case against New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, according to court documents. Judge Leonard Hanser on Friday ordered that the "state shall destroy the suppressed evidence forthwith and submit documentation to this Court outlining the steps it took to comply," records show. Kraft was one of dozens charged in relation to a 2019 prostitution and human trafficking investigation at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter. He was later charged with two misdemeanor counts of soliciting prostitution. In June 2020, a state appeals court sided with a lower court decision to throw out the video evidence in the case.
