Convicted murder Harlow Raymond Cuadra has his PCRA hearing coming up on Tuesday, November 12, 2013.
Originally filed on May 3, 2012, Cuadra is seeking a new trial due to "duress", claiming that mistakes were made before and during the first jury trial in March 2009 that ended in a first-degree murder conviction for the brutal slaying of Bryan Kocis. ( Harlow's partner in crime, Joseph Kerekes, had already plead guilty and was sentenced to life in prison).
On May 20, 2013. Harlow Cuadra's attorney, Demetrius Fannick, stated that some new issues had surfaced during an interview with Harlow over the weekend, and that he needed more time to file a supplemental brief to his existing PCRA. The Honorable Judge, Fred A. Pierantoni, III, granted Fannick's request and told him that he must file any additional court papers by July 3. and that prosecutors must respond by Aug. 5. ( I will try to have these posted before the hearing on Tuesday).
It appears that Cuadra has already been transferred to the Luzernne County Correctional Facility and he will likely be at the courthouse for the hearing.
We'll keep you posted.
Update 11/12/2013: Sources tell me that Fannick had apparently requested more time from the judge about two weeks ago and the judge granted his request. So... I'll try to find out when the new hearing date is and will let everyone know.

Hard core news has been a bit lacking in the adult world lately. A new trial even remotely related to Brent Corrigan might get some juices flowing again. Couldn't hurt book sales either. You would have to make a second edition of course.
