As reported on March 15, 2010... there was a hearing today, regarding the civil case that Michael Kocis filed against Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes on behalf of Bryan Kocis' estate.
Sources tell me that the hearing only lasted about 15 minutes, and that Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes appeared via video, both wearing brown prison jumpsuits with white t-shirts underneath.
Joe is now sporting a shaved head, while Harlow pretty-much still looks the same.
A bench trial for determination of what the two owe the Kocis family will be sometime after April... possibly June. The trial is expected to last two days. Joseph Kerekes and Harlow Cuadra will once again appear via video for the trial, as Joe asked that he not be transported, and Cuadra agreed.
Both indicated that they will not be obtaining counsel and will be representing themselves. Harlow stated that he has "no assets" to obtain a lawyer.
I guess if Harlow really has "no assets" to hire a lawyer, we know why Fannick isn't filing the appeal. But if he really is off the case due to lack of funds, doesn't he have to notify the court?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it'll be fun to see both of them try and represent themselves.

We've already seen one of them take the stand before, and look where it got him.
I agree though... it should be rather entertaining. :)

Yes. Fannick would have to notify the court, but something tells me that he won't until the Sup. Court drops the appeal... which is looking more likely due to non-filing.
