New "Reversible Error" Precedent provides Judicial Hope for Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes

Harlow Cuadra has been handed yet more grounds to claim "reversal error" by Luzerne County President Judge Mark Ciavarella assigning one of Bryan Kocis' former lawyers as Cuadra's counsel at the recent preliminary hearing.

New York Federal Judge Kaplan had already provided Cuadra with the grounds to claim that he and Kerekes were denied their right to legal counsel when Judge Kaplan dismissed all criminal charges against former KPMG employees citing the fact that Federal Prosecutors prevented the defendants from being able to afford the legal counsel of their choice.

Now, Judge Kaplan has issued an order holding that a criminal defendant must specifically WAIVE his right to "conflict free representation", that a Judge cannot merely unilaterally decide that an attorney's conflict of interest is not prejudicial to the defendant.

In other words, by the decision of a Federal Judge in New York on a similar "constitutional right issue", Harlow Cuadra must specifically WAIVE his right to "conflict free representation" in order for one of Bryan Kocis' former lawyers (Jonathan Blum) to continue as Harlow's lawyer.

At this point, The Kruezer believes that FRIENDS OF Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes who were holding back on their contributions to the Legal Defense Fund for Cuadra and Kerekes will now act to ensure that Private Attorneys file appeals for Cuadra and Kerekes to get all charges against Cuadra and Kerekes dismissed as a result of judicial errors by Luzerne County.

Damon Kruezer the Only Reporter to Accurately Predict Death Penalty in Kocis Murder Case 36 Hours Before DA Announcement

THE KRUEZER's PREDICTION FULFILLED, our sources verified: EXECUTIONER's NEEDLES PLANNED FOR HARLOW and JOE

NEW YORK CITY - Special Report by Damon Kruezer with contribution by Marc Holstrom, 12:11 AM, October 2, 2007

KRUEZER AT NIGHT was the first - and ONLY - reporter to explicitly predict that the death penalty would be sought 36 hours ago based on direct sourcing from someone close to the D.A.'s office and our own analysis of probability. Unfortunately for Harlow and Joe, we were correct.
Our critics are now eating a healthy portion of crow pie.

As THE KRUEZER predicted almost 36 hours ago, the death penalty will be sought against Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes, as was announced shortly before 6:00 PM ET Monday. We did not jump to announce this since anyone with a feed to the Citizens Voice or other Pennsylvania or regional media would get the news. We waited until now, just after midnight in New York City, to share our analysis and alternative theory of the crime. Many of my rivals scoffed and doubted about my prediction about the death penalty, including most notably the arrogant PC and KM, the chronically erratic Elm, the delusionary DeWayne, and the falsely elitist and vacuously self-described "monster" Dexx Jones and his sock puppets such as the sycophantic studio tool Mark Adams, but the time has now come to leave such personal considerations aside in view of the fact that Bitchless Blog and BB were the ONLY ones to follow my line of thinking and talk about how likely the death penalty would be sought.

Now, you all can see just how accurate I and my sources are when I talked about how the D.A. had just about decided to seek "the prick of the executioner's needle" 36 hours ago. Now, Marc and I and our network will focus like a laser beam on this case and cast aside personality politics and macho posturing...because this is now literally life or death:

ALTERNATIVE THEORY OF THE CASE: MOTIVE, MEANS, and OPPORTUNITY TO EMPLOY CUADRA AND KEREKES AS ALL TOO CONVENIENT FALL GUYS BY APPEALING TO THEIR VANITY AND AMBITION

THE KRUEZER now gives you his alternative theory of the Kocis-Cuadra-Kerekes murder case in light of this soul-wrenching development and new information we have developed in our own forensic and biographical research. May it help the wrongly accused Cuadra and Kerekes.
$5,000 is a lot of money but it was well spent on a private detective who knows his stuff.
New information developed by this P.I. and by my own research into the history, background and behavior patterns of Robert Wagner aka Aaron Phelps, combined with my pattern analysis of 3 former Norfolk Companions escorts who have been induced, or decided, to turn against their former friends, HARLOW CUADRA and JOSEPH KEREKES, have resulted in a major change of opinion about the central elements of this murder case that has rocked the gay subculture and may well have reverberations all the way to Capitol Hill in Washington.
Despite the unfortunate lack of truth telling about the existence of the Norfolk Companions client list - which THE KRUEZER has stated is a fact all along, but which Harlow Cuadra (or his ghostwriter) specifically denied a few weeks ago - and despite the "war of the bloggers" in which who was getting the most attention or praise for their perceived "accuracy" seemed to be more important than the guilt or innocence of two men about to find out if they would face the death penalty - THE KRUEZER believes that justice for the victim, BRYAN KOCIS, as well as for the defendants will be served without histrionics, drama, or the buffeting of competing egos.
It is therefore incumbent upon me as "a reporter deeply involved in this case from the beginning" - as Michael Gross of OUT magazine called me before we had a sharp disagreement over the tone and direction of his article - to tell you, my readers, friends and clients precisely WHY the forms of things unknown - previously hidden or obscured by deliberate intent - now need to be revealed in the clear and focused light of a passion for justice in this matter that is NOT ego or monetarily driven.

Here is my alternative theory of the case. Bad as the circumstantial evidence against Cuadra and Kerekes appears, it's by no means the entirety of the story, nor is it the only prism through which the evidence so far can be viewed.

Therefore, without saying too much, and without any intent whatsoever to jeapordize the newly urgent legal strategies being evolved by Cuadra's and Kerekes' defense teams, THE KRUEZER believes that the duo of Cuadra and Kerekes are guilty of immature behavior, foolish decisions, false braggadocio, and a financially reckless lifestyle that left them hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt BEFORE their arrests.

But I do NOT believe either Cuadra or Kerekes are guilty of murder, arson, thievery or abuse of a corpse.

Here's why:

An independent P.I. has come up with extenuating information regarding particular facts and circumstances concerning both the whereabouts and specific actions of Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes on January 23 and 24, 2007 (the day of the murder).
This will be introduced at trial. I have been asked not to say anything further about this aspect at this time.

After due diligence research and forensic investigation, with results compared with those attained by a private investigator paid $5,000 by someone you all know, it is KRUEZER AT NIGHT's considered opinion that former Kocis intimate friend/model/business associate Robert Wagner whose jealousy is such, and his knowledge of the Kocis house was such, that he conspired with a 3rd party to take out a contract on Bryan Kocis, who owed a very large amount of money to many people and wasn't paying it back.

Furthermore, in the Kruezer view, at the preliminary hearing Wagner falsely testified that his relationship with Kocis was business only when in fact it was both personal and intimate. Kocis' investors took huge losses when "Every Poolboy's Dream" among other Cobra titles was summarily pulled from retail sale or distribution after Brent Corrigan claimed he was underage. It is this underlying mountainous debt owed by Kocis to at least 4 investors, combined with what we believe is obsessive and pathological jealousy-fueled anger and resentment at his "Daddy" Bryan Kocis who cast him aside in favor of Brent Corrigan and even "Danny Moilin" aka Harlow Cuadra, that together formed the nucleus of the lethal conspiracy to murder Bryan Kocis after deliberately enticing Cuadra and Kerekes into the ring of darkness through the medium of 2 other individuals who may or may not have had a clear idea of the ultimate goal, but were known to be in general sympathy with the concept of removing Kocis from their lives, legally if not literally.

KRUEZER AT NIGHT believes the Defense will focus on one of these 2 individuals in withering cross-examination.

We allege that Harlow and Joe were deliberately enticed to come to PA by Wagner and his contract killer, who set them up as fall guys. The contract killer is from New York City and is known to the NYPD as a result of some misdemeanor charges, but KRUEZER AT NIGHT has traced his movements in the past 5 years and we have noted - with a chill in our hearts - that where this man goes, sudden death often explained as an accident or suicide follows. A total of 4 mysterious deaths have been closely associated with this person of interest, who invariably moves out of the apartment building or house or trailer park within a month or two of the termination of his target. Although having no visible means of support, KRUEZER AT NIGHT has learned he is a computer expert and antique car fancier well versed in hijacking wireless routers and hacking email databases, and KRUEZER AT NIGHT believes he conspired with several former Norfolk Companions escorts after the murder giving them "hush money" in exchange for incriminating Cuadra and Kerekes but with the real goal being to protect two highly placed Washington politicians who had used the services of Norfolk Companions on several occasions.

The conspirator, hitman, and betrayers all took advantage of Cuadra and Kerekes' naivete, greed, vanity and ambition, using Brent Corrigan as the carrot to lure and entice them into the trap and then springing the trap the night of January 24, 2007 after sufficient circumstantial evidence had been manufactured or carefully planted where investigators would be sure to find it.

This combined with Cuadra's and Kerekes' attitude of invincibility and their dangerous assumption that none of their "dudes" would ever turn on them any more than Cuadra's flirtatious relationship with Corrigan would sour, ultimately lead to not only their loss of all money, property and freedom, but now the daunting prospect of the loss of their actual lives as the D.A. pursues the death penalty against both defendants.

KRUEZER AT NIGHT was the first - and ONLY - reporter to explicitly predict this 36 hours ago based on direct sourcing from someone close to the D.A.'s office and our own analysis of probability.

From this point on KRUEZER AT NIGHT will devote ourselves to helping the wrongly accused CUADRA and KEREKES, and let bygones be bygones and forgive and forget whatever may need to be forgiven and forgotten on both sides. Likewise the petty and childish allegations and accusations by our plainly jealous and anti-competitive rivals.

This isn't about who's "right" or "legitimate" or who talks with Harlow or Joe any more, this is about 2 more deaths - judicially mandated, and committed in the name of the people of Pennsylvania - all too likely to be added to the pain, devastation and destruction caused by the brutal and premeditated murder of Bryan Kocis, the post mortem mutilation of his body, and the arson and thievery at his house so artfully designed to make it appear that CUADRA and KEREKES were responsible.

They are not. They were deliberately placed at the time and location to serve the purpose of Bryan Kocis' stone cold killers, which are the one who conceived, planned and hired for it, the actual contract killer who so far has flown under the radar of all except KRUEZER AT NIGHT and the one who hired him, and the outraged investors who like King Henry of England in reference to Becket said, "who will deal with Bryan Kocis for us and make him pay for ripping us off?"

These elements combined to form the perfect murderous storm, and to shift the blame to 2 young, immature, and very foolish men who lacked the ability to foresee what they were being set up for. And that is being "patsies", fall guys, the sacrificial lambs at the slaughter the D.A. will strongly push for and smugly pronounce "justice has been served" when and if the guilty verdicts are read out to a hushed Luzerne County courtroom in February or March 2008.
In this way, THE KRUEZER has given form to the things unknown until now, and made the ring of darkness illuminated so that discerning readers and legal operatives may follow the trail we have blazed for you.

Now Marc, Zenoble and I and all of Harlow and Joe's true friends and family must focus on helping to save the lives of Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes, and this I will do as long as it takes to secure their freedom and absolution.
