USA: Gay porn murder trial begins

Thu 19 Feb 2009 In: International News View at Wayback

Gay porn star Harlow Cuadra is beginning his trial for murder in a Pennsylvania court this week. Accused: Harlow Cuadra Cuadra is one of two men accused of killing a gay porn producer because they thought he was a competitor. In early 2007, Bryan Kocis, who operated one of the country's biggest gay adult entertainment companies, died of massive blood loss after his head was nearly sliced off and his torso was stabbed dozens of times. Both Harlow Cuadra and his former lover Joseph Kerkes were originally charged with first degree murder and prosecutors said they would seek the death penalty, but back in December Kerkes plead guilty for second-degree murder – a result of a deal with prosecutors – and was sentenced to life in prison.
