After having his appeal denied by the Superior Court of Pennsylvania on October 14th, convicted murderer Harlow Cuadra has now filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
Something tells me that he'll get the same answer... No!
This blog is basically an archive of the trial news, facts, and opinions related to convicted murderers Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes for their brutal slaying of Bryan Kocis in his rural Pennsylvania home. Harlow and Joe are currently serving life in prison without the possibility of parole. I will continue to update this blog for the duration of Harlow Cuadra's plea for a new trial.

New Book Deal Shortly...
Andrew and I hope to announce a new book deal shortly.
It's all about ironing-out the 'kinks'. :)
Update @ 11/16/2010: We seem to have gotten interest from several publishers... this may take a little longer than thought. :)
Update @ 12/12/2010: An announcement will be made within the next 7 days.

Court Rejects Harlow's Appeal
The Superior Court of Pennsylvania has upheld the conviction and life sentence handed to Harlow Cuadra for the murder of Bryan Kocis. No additional appeals have been filed as of today.
In a five page ruling issued on Oct. 14, the Superior Court upheld Cuadra’s conviction and sentencing, stating Olszewski’s rulings before and during Cuadra’s trial were “well detailed and well-reasoned.”
“We can find no error in its factual findings and corollary legal conclusions,” the appellate court ruled on each of the issues Cuadra challenged.

Alyson Books...
Apparently Alyson Books has chosen to go e-book only... well we won't.
Andrew and I are currently seeking a new publisher, and apologize for any delay this may have. Rest-assured... the book will be published.

Harlow Cuadra's Appeal... Something's Going On...
Update @ 07/20/2010: I probably should have clarified this earlier... but... this isn't Harlow Cuadra's actual appeal that's being decided, but rather the court has received all they need, and they've appointed the three judges listed below to review the appeal and consider the merits.

It would appear (and I could be wrong) that convicted murder Harlow Cuadra's appeal is now in the hands of a three-panel judge decision:
