WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY- Life in prison for gay porn producer Harlow Cuadra. That's the decision from a Luzerne County jury that convicted him of killing Bryan Kocis.
Early Monday afternoon the jury foreman told the judge the panel couldn't reach a unanimous decision on the death penalty. The judge advised the jurors to continue their deliberations. Shortly before 5:00 P. M. the jury announced it was deadlocked after more than 5 hours of deliberations.
By law, Cuadra automatically gets a life sentence. Last Thursday, the jury convicted Cuadra of killing gay porn rival Bryan Kocis in January of 2007. Prosecutors say Cuadra repeatedly stabbed Kocis and then set his house on fire.
