Former escort and porn producer Harlow Cuadra faces a possible death penalty since a jury on Thursday found him guilty of brutally killing a rival producer.

The case, which unfolded in a Pennsylvania courtroom over several weeks, included testimony from an Atlanta computer consultant and former escort client of Cuadra.

On Friday, the jury began deliberations on the sentence in what’s expected to be a day-long hearing. No jury in Luzerne County has delivered a death penalty in more than a decade.

Earlier in the trial, Atlanta resident Howard Mitch Halford testified that he loved Cuadra and gave him the keys to his home when Cuadra was suspected in the homicide of Bryan Kocis, who founded Cobra Video.

Halford was a long standing escort client of Cuadra.

Halford testified on the seventh day of Cuadra’s capital murder trial before Judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. that Cuadra solicited him to tell investigators that he was with Cuadra the night Kocis was killed on Jan. 24, 2007.

Halford initially told investigators that he was with Cuadra, but later recanted, saying he saw Cuadra once during a two-week span in late January.

Halford said he gave Cuadra $70,000 for his love for him. He also knew Cuadra’s business partner, Joseph Kerekes.

Halford described the relationship with Cuadra and Kerekes as “a little puppy.”

“Kerekes had such control over Harlow, how would I describe it, it was like a little puppy,” Halford said.
