Harlow Cuadra, the former escort and porn producer accused of killing Cobra Video founder and CEO Brian Kocis, hit a snag in his trial this week.when jurors heard a tape recorded nearly two years ago.
The fate of Harlow Cuadra, the former escort and porn producer accused of killing Cobra Video founder Brian Kocis, looks grim after jurors in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., this week listened to a tape recorded nearly two years ago that discusses Kocis's death.
Grant Roy, business partner of gay-porn star Brent Corrigan, testified earlier this week that he and Corrigan had urged Cuadra and his business partner, Joseph Kerekes, to travel to San Diego in early 2007. The goal -- Cuadra wanted to make a movie with Corrigan.
But according to reports, Roy was cooperating with police and recorded a conversation at San Diego's Black Beach with Cuadra repeatedly referring to Kocis's death. Though Cuadra doesn't discuss specifics, sources say the tape might be enough to convict him.
Cuadra is accused of killing Kocis in a turf war over the right to work with Corrigan. In December 2008, Kerekes pleaded guilty to killing Kocis, and he is now serving a life sentence.
The recording is said to all but convict Cuadra of the crime. The trial is expected to last at least another week.
