(Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania) Tapes with a revealing conversation about the murder of producer Bryan Kocis were played for the jury deciding the fate of Harlow Cuadra on Tuesday. Kocis’ body was discovered in his home in 2006 by firefighters responding to a blaze in the rural home. More than 80 percent of his body was covered by third-degree burns; police said the fire had been set deliberately to destroy evidence.

Kocis was the owner of Cobra Video. Forensics experts were able to resurrect the hard drive of a computer found at the scene. The contents led investigators to two other gay adult video producers – Cuadra and his lover Joseph Kerekes.

Police said that the pair had killed Kocis after he refused to hand over the contract of porn star Sean Lockhart.
