Harlow Cuadra guilty of murder

Harlow Cuadra has been found guilty of the murder of business rival Bryan Kocis in a sensational case that could have been a movie script.

Kocis, who operated bareback porn studio Cobra Video, was found dead in his home in Dallas Township, Penn. in January, 2007. He had been stabbed 28 times and his neck slashed to the point of near decapitation.

Overwhelming evidence pointed to Cuadra and his partner Joseph Kerekes as the  major suspects. The motive: their  twisted vision of stealing Cobra exclusive Brent Corrigan away from Kocis so that he could star with Cuadra in a porn film that would make them all rich.

Kerekes pled guilty in December and was sentenced to life in prison. Cuadra maintained his innocence to the bitter end. The jury was not convinced: they took less than four hours to find him guilty.
