Crime Blotter: Court Upholds Cuadra Murder Conviction
October 18, 2010 | 4 Comments
A state appellate court in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania has upheld the murder conviction and life sentence for ex-adult performer and producer Harlow Cuadra in the 2007 death of Cobra Video producer Bryan Kocis. Mr. Cuadra, 29, “sought a new trial claiming mistakes were made by the judge, Peter Paul Olszewski Jr., before and during the two-week trial in March 2009,” reports The Times Leader. Mr. Cuadra’s co-defendant, Joseph Kerekes, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a life sentence; Olszewski lost a reelection bid in last November’s elections. Among his challenges, Cuadra claimed secretly recorded audio tapes played in court “violated Pennsylvania’s wiretap law despite the recordings taking place in California.” Performer-mogul Brent Corrigan was one of two men who taped those conversations. “In a five-page ruling issued on Oct. 14, the Superior Court upheld Cuadra’s conviction and sentencing, stating Olszewski’s rulings before and during Cuadra’s trial were ‘well detailed and well-reasoned,’ ” the paper reports. ” ‘We can find no error in its factual findings and corollary legal conclusions.’ ” The Time Leader notes Cuadra is currently serving out his sentence at the State Correctional Institution at Coal Township in Northumberland County.
