Why would someone post some of the horrid things that I have seen posted on some of the blogs? This is all in regards to the senseless death of a human being? Why would some revel in the misfortune of those who are accused of said crime? It really makes we wonder what the world is coming to. The police knew that the victim was a not a well-liked person so I guess to make the charges stick they had to vilify those who are accused of killing him.
When I first read about the murder of Bryan Kocis almost 10 months ago I thought to myself, oh my god this is horrible. I thought some deranged fan of Sean Lockhart might have done this. My next thought was that Sean was in danger from this crazy obsessed fan. Then I started to read all of the supposed theories of the other bloggers and thought that some were plausible and some were not. As we moved forward and more information surfaced and we had to dig through it all to get at the truth that original thought I had was changed.
Now I know that Bryan Kocis was no angel but the way he was killed showed that someone hated him with a passion that caused me to take pause. When you think of the way he was killed he would have died almost instantly yet someone was filled with so much rage that they stabbed his dead body 28 additional times. To me that shows that who ever killed him was not satisfied with the fact that he was dead and felt that he did not suffer enough. The fact that he was stabbed 28 more times alone speaks to rage of the killer. The way he was killed made me think of the O.J. Simpson case. The only thing that still has me puzzled was the lack of defensive wounds on the victim. Was Bryan incapacitated when he was killed? Did his killer surprise him? Was there more than one person involved?
From the arrest affidavit we have probable cause to believe that those who are accused of this might have done this. But the reason for them doing this still leaves me perplexed. They kill him to work with one of his models? Now I don’t know about any of you out there but Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and you can not own another human being in the United States of America. So in effect Bryan Kocis really had no hold on Sean Lockhart. So what was there to stop Sean from working with anyone he wanted to work with? Why would Joe and Harlow kill a man they did not even know to work with Sean Lockhart? If you were Sean would you want to work with someone who had just killed someone in cold blood? So that just makes no sense to me all around.
The other thing that I find interesting is that Bryan sued Sean for breach of contract and cyber-squatting because he used his stage name “Brent Corrigan” on an Internet web-site. Now this brings to mind two things that I find interesting.
1: Bryan filed for a trademark on the name Brent Corrigan and the images of that persona. What purpose would it serve Bryan to own that name? It is not like he was going to use it for himself as a stage name or for another model. The name itself was attached to a living person and would be virtually useless too Bryan as Sean Lockhart was the person that the name was attached to. The fact that Sean filmed the Velvet Mafia under a different name should have shown Bryan that.
2: The contract that Sean broke with Cobra Video was non-binding as you can not require someone to perform a sex act on film, video or in the privacy of your own home. Because forced sex is considered rape and payment for such is prostitution and that is illegal.
So what was the civil suit all about? The fact that Cobra Video was in fact two different entities, one from Pennsylvania formed in late 2001 and the other from Delaware formed in 2005 and from what I have been able to decipher they were independent of each other. To me it looks like Bryan was hedging his bets when he sued Sean and Grant with the newly formed in 2005 Delaware entity of Cobra Video. The funny thing is the Pennsylvania version of Cobra Video was the one that held the trademark on the name “Brent Corrigan” and they also had the broken contract as well. So the lawsuit was suspect at best. Also during this period Bryan’s earlier conviction was changed to corruption of a minor. This was so he was not required to register as a sex offender.
The other thing that is disturbing is the fact that Bryan was going to buy out Lee Bergeron’s Share of LSG Media of which Lee was the principle shareholder, thus making Bryan the principle in a company that he was suing. Now from what I have gathered Lee was not mentioned in the original civil suit. Bryan was going after Sean and Grant on all fronts. Sean had threatened to drop the name Brent Corrigan so Bryan would have no hold on him. So he went after the company that Sean was part owner of. What I also find interesting is that there has never been another case that I know of where a model was sued by a porn producer. I guess Bryan just did not want to loose.
What was Bryan’s fascination with a model that wanted nothing to do with him? Was Bryan in love with Sean or did he just want to destroy him? From where I sit it looks like destruction was his goal. Sean had too much information against Bryan for him to just let him go. Bryan was aware of Sean’s age fraud from early on and he apparently did not care. He was aware of the forged age documents and he had Robert Wagner witness them making him a party to that fraud.
With the bogus lawsuit he filed he made his attorney possibly a party to that fraud when he lied and sued LSG Media with a company that did not even exist when the contract was broken or the age fraud occurred. What was the purpose of all of this? Al Flora, his attorney when he was charged with having sex and filming it with an underage boy was also a possible party to his fraud when he claimed that the model he was filming was for his Video Company, which at the time did not yet exist. And he did not yet have his valid ID on record. And Bryan’s claim that the boy lied about his age would have made any another video producer more diligent in his 2257 record keeping with regards to the types of boys he filmed. From what I have gathered companies do not film they’re models until they have proof on file for them. And from statements from people, who knew Bryan, they claimed that Cobra was more of a hobby than a business for him. That would explain the hundreds of videotapes seized when he was arrested. Bryan liked to film boys having sex as a hobby and he did this before he had a company to produce these videos.
Why all the fraud from this one man who the police claim was a businessman. Some business he ran, he filed for bankruptcy in 2002 because of a failed cellular phone business venture with his sister. Who he sued because she wanted nothing to do with him after he was arrested for molesting that fifteen year-old boy and he plead guilty. Then he starts a porn venture when he was for all intensive purposes broke. He files for a Limited liability company in Pennsylvania and says that he is the sole proprietor of it.
So in effect he started his company and said he was the sole owner is suspicious in the fact that it was done to cover the lie that he told his attorney; his claim that he was filming those boys for his video company. From what I have gathered the business he ran was illegal in the state of Pennsylvania. That is correct it is against the law to produce pornography in the state of Pennsylvania. Yet Bryan did it from the basement of his house in a residential neighborhood for 6 years. I guess he had connections to the right people. The fact that he was caught on videotape having sex with that 15 year-old boy and he was not subject to Megan’s law says a lot about the legal system in PA.
So let’s recap: Bryan was broke he filed Bankruptcy, he filed as a sole proprietor for a video pornography business in Pennsylvania. That business was an illegal operation in that state. He sued his sister for a failed business attempt. And molested a fifteen year-old boy and plead guilty and was not required to register as a sex offender. Looks like 2001 was a banner year for Bryan Kocis. All of these things still do not justify his being killed in the way that he was. It does make you wonder how many people would have a motive to do it though.
Now Joe and Harlow were brought into all of this because of Sean and Grant. They were used as a point of leverage against Bryan. They were used to get a better deal on the settlement that LSG Media was working on with Bryan and Cobra Video. Once all things with Cobra were settled Joe and Harlow were told that they could not work together because of the contract with Cobra Video. Yes that was a dirty deal but I guess that’s how you do business in the porn world. The fact that Sean had broken his contract with Cobra 18 months prior to all of this not withstanding it was a good excuse for Sean and Grant to get rid of Joe and Harlow.
Funny thing is Sean introduced Harlow to Bryan and Falcon Studios. Now from what I have been told Harlow wanted to work with Sean and he went to Cobra Video to do so. Sean was “required” as part of the settlement to film a certain amount of video scenes to fulfill his obligation with regards to the settlement. Harlow wanted to put his image out there with “Brent Corrigan” and when Sean’s obligation was filled with Cobra they could work together at their respective companies and Sean could use the name Brent Corrigan.
Now the settlement forbid Sean to work with any other Cobra models out side of a Cobra production. But Danny Moilin was not a real person and Bryan would have no recourse against him. If Bryan tried to pull the same tricks he pulled with Sean it would be the end of him because he was not diligent with his 2257 records. That could possibly close down Cobra Video. Even if Danny worked as Harlow, Bryan would have no recourse because Harlow was his real name and Bryan could not trademark it and it is a proven fact that Harlow had used that name before.
Now here’s were it gets sticky Robert Wagner was a witness to the age fraud with regards to Sean Lockhart and possible other models. The fact that Sean Lockhart had gone to the FBI on several occasions to report that he was underage when he worked for Cobra Video would have caused Robert some very serious legal problems had the FBI taken Sean’s claims seriously. There is also the question of whether the FBI had Bryan under investigation for producing underage porn. All of this was a good reason for Robert Wagner to be worried. Could this have been a motive for murder???
Now Robert was in effect Bryan’s right hand man and he was diligent in his research of Sean Lockhart. He knew who Harlow was because his picture was on Sean’s deleted Myspace page. That would be where Robert would have seen his picture and put 2+2 together and made the whole plan work. He would vet Harlow to Bryan as Danny and set up the interview and thus set up Harlow for the murder of Bryan Kocis. He would send himself the email with the pictures and send Sean an email saying that Bryan had a new model for him to work with. All of this was done while he was pretending to be Bryan.
Now I have said in a previous post that the coroner could not accurately determine the time of death of Bryan Kocis due to the subsequent fire. That alone could acquit Joe and Harlow and destroy Roberts alibi if serious doubt is placed on the time and date that Bryan died on. I have also said that the subsequent phone calls made to the victim on the supposed date of his murder could have been received anywhere that his cell phone was. I have questioned the location of Bryan’s cell phone and it has been the cause of some interesting emails and online posts on my blog. The fact that anyone could have been on that phone claiming to be Bryan is something to think about. The fact that his phone could have been anywhere is also questionable as well.
His attorney Sean Macias is said to have called him and spoke to him on several occasions on the day Bryan is supposed to have died but he was not present at the preliminary hearing to testify. I find that interesting, is there a reason for that? Maybe he was to easy impeach as a witness because of the dealings between Lee and Bryan of which he was working on. Or the fact that he claimed in the affidavit that the model had arrived when it was in fact another phone call to Bryan that lead him to that assumption. That phone-call from Robert Wagner to Bryan that was placed at 6:30 PM on the night in question. There were also other phone calls placed that were not listed in the affidavit which puts the question out there as to what are they hiding.
I for one when I look at the evidence against Joe and Harlow do not see them as guilty. What I see is the fact that there are certain questions that still need to be answered. Who was the one who advised Harlow to set up the fake email account and get the throwaway phone? Could this be the reason that Harlow panicked and fled the scene did not call the police or the fire department when he saw that Bryan was dead? Because he knew he was being set up? Could that be the reason behind his bravado on the Blacks Beach tapes? They were not sure if it was Sean and Grant who set them up? Maybe who ever killed Bryan set up this elaborate ploy to remove blame from whoever did this and point it towards Sean, Grant, Joe and Harlow.
This is what the trial is for to get to the bottom of this and I am content to wait for the outcome of it and hope that justice is served. Some seem to think that what has been presented so far is conclusive evidence to convict them, lets just hope they are not on the jury. Let’s hope that they do get an impartial jury who will weigh all of the facts in the case and come to a rightful conclusion. Whether they are found innocent or guilty as long as they have a fair trial I will be satisfied that the law took its course. But I for one still do not believe that they did what they are being accused of. I still do believe that you are innocent until proven guilty.
This is Elmysterio and I’m out.
Happy birthday Sean. Scorpios rule!
BB’s latest post seems to be a Halloween trick of sorts as I have received no new information on Joe and Harlow and all seems to be well. A trial seems to be eminent.
And I just got the lowdown from Virginia Beach that there were no Federal warrants issued for Joe and Harlow. Because if there were warrants extradition would not have been a issue now would it. I wonder where that trick started. Oh and by the way the Asst. DA in Virginia swore to that in a Court of Law. Guess that kills that theory.
And last but not least I still have not seen the email that I sent to the “unmentioned one” yet posted on his Technicolor trash page I guess he is still thinking of a lie to post about what it said.
