A jury in Luzerne County has found accused killer Harlow Cuadra guilty of first-degree murder.
Cuadra was accused of killing Bryan Kocis at his Back Mountain home in January, 2007. Prosecutors said Cuadra and his former lover and business partner, Joseph Kerekes, killed Kocis because he was a rival in their gay pornography business. Kocis' home was torched to cover up the crime.
Kerekes pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in December. He is serving a life sentence. Jurors heard testimony in the case for more than two weeks.
Cuadra took the stand in his own defense Tuesday and Wednesday. He claimed he was innocent and Kerekes was, in fact, the one who killed Kocis.

I feel as if this story is our own little telenovela. Glad it's over--though I admit I really wasn't giving it that much attention.
I imagine the porno based on the story will be out in a couple of months. I wounder if Corrigan would star in it.

You should have; the sideshow circus that came along with the trial - pornographers playing themselves as paragons of virtue, not to mention some of the shit they've pulled - has been an insult to the entire gay community.
This disturbs me greatly.
