In addition to 1st degree murder, Harlow Cuadra was found guilty on each of the 11 other charges, including theft, robbery, arson and abuse of a corpse. Because it’s a capital murder case, the jury will now decide whether to sentence Cuadra to life in prison or death.
Dressed in a pink dress shirt and grey suit, Harlow stared forward as the verdict was read. Bryan Kocis’ family hugged. The trial lasted 12 days and 90 witnesses testified.
The judge spent an hour and a half this morning reading the full list of criminal charges against Harlow, as well as the descriptions of each crime. The judge said afterwards that “these are the longest instructions I’ve ever heard given to a jury.”
After the jurors convened to reach a verdict, they twice returned to the courtroom to ask the judge whether they could convict Harlow Cuadra of 1st degree murder even if they weren’t sure whether he was the one to slit Kocis’ throat. The judge told them that yes, even as an accomplice the murder charge would still stand. The extent to which jurors believe Harlow was an accomplice or the main actor in the murder will largely determine whether or not he receives the death penalty.

Brent Corrigan should be in prison too
To have been killed for Brent Corrigan’s poontang! What a terrible reason to die. Hardly worth it.
The death penalty will give him plenty of time to think about it to and then …………BAM, he is dead. Serves the little fucker right
Well, he had to be the other person involved if not hopefully he will appeal and found not guilty but the death penalty is too much. I think the Life sentence will give him a lot of time to think about what he has done.
