Here is a little back story for you all about the days preceding the Crab Catcher and the Blacks Beach tapes. Joe sent me a email and he was kind of excited about the possibility of finally getting to work with Sean and Grant. Now from what I know and was told by Joe and a few others was that Joe and Harlow were sent an agreement of sorts from Sean and Grant to come to California and to film some scenes. Joe told me that they sent him a agreement . He wanted to send it to me, I told him that I did not want to see it but I told Joe to run it by his attorney Barry Taylor which he did do. Well I got confirmation that he did because of some stuff that I later heard with regards to the future trip. I also told Joe that this could very well be a trap and to be careful. Barry said the same and none of us wanted them to go. I guess we were right about it being a trap.
Now you must also keep in mind that I did not know at the time that they had actually gone to Pennsylvania or that Harlow had been to Bryan’s house. There was talk in the papers of an alibi and I will admit that I believed it. During this period which was before the affidavit or the arrest there was very little solid evidence that pointed to Joe and Harlow that was public. And there were also those who were feeding me lies about the case.
This was also during the period that everyone was screaming about Sean’s age and that he lied to Bryan about being younger than he was, when in fact it was proven that he lied and said that he was older than he was. So Sean did star in underage porn and that pissed allot of people off. With that being a directive on the blogs and all of the back story about all of the other dealings between Lee and Bryan. Joe and Harlow were sort of put on the “Back burner”. Was this a plan by the prosecution? Also what was the deal with the name Drake? Where the hell did they come up with that one?
So I had no real issue with talking to them because I was always told that you are innocent until proven guilty. What I also found strange is that there was just so much misinformation out there. So to tell Joe and Harlow that I thought going to San Diego might be a trap was not in anyway aiding and abetting two known fugitives. It was just my gut reaction based on what had been going on in the prior months. Joe and Harlow’s whole financial thing was a bit of a shock to me. They never mentioned it to me that they had money issues.
PC did mention Joe and Harlow’s financial situation in a IM conversation but at the time I did not know who PC was or if I could even trust him. I soon found out that I could not trust him. I did some checking on my own and did not see any major issues with their finances. But “someone” did run a credit check and found out the truth. That was something that I would not do just to get a story though.
I spoke to Joe and emailed him on several different occasions while they were in California. He was aware of the possibility of a wire, that is why he wanted to go to the nude beach. Now what I find interesting is that the day prior to the Blacks Beach trip at the Crab Catcher there were promises of fourth coming info into the murder. This never really happened though, they never said outright that they killed Bryan. There was allot of talk about Lee and his deal with Bryan but what is funny is that was already being talked about behind the scenes. Me and a few others who shall remain nameless already new about the backdoor deal between Lee and Bryan. Sean and Grant were aware of it as well at the time of the police intercepts.
The Beach Tapes and the Crab Catcher transcripts actually reveal very little that I did not already know. Most of what was talked about at the time I had discussed with other people close to the case prior to the beach tapes. So I guess for me it was just anticlimactic. What I find really interesting is that Sean and Grant could not be totally honest on the tapes because they did not want to blow they’re hand. By that I mean the whole line of questioning that was going on. I mean what the fuck were they thinking with that line of questions?
Joe was asking more questions than Grant ever did about Bryan and Lee and their dynamic. I don’t know if Joe was just fishing for info on Bryan or if he was trying to see how much Sean and Grant knew about Lee and Bryan’s deal. Joe’s questions looked as if he was seeing if they really felt remorse about Bryan’s death. I just don’t get it something is fishy here and it ain’t the crab.
This I will tell you and I never really thought about it but when I spoke to Michael Gross about the Out Magazine article I mentioned info from several sources of what I had heard was going on in this case. At the time I don’t think he actually believed me but I guess if he looked at his notes he might see now that I was on the right track. I have been blogging about this case since February of 2007 and there are still aspects about this case that amaze me. After digging through all of the muck the truth is starting to loom ahead and it ain’t what any of you think it is.
This murder is still being covered by several bloggers and it still is Front page news when something new about the case is revealed. Now it seems that we are in the home stretch but there are still a few twists to come in this case and I don’t doubt some of you will be still shocked by them. The latest that is news is that Luzerne County has summoned Sean Macias the attorney for the victim to testify at the trial. One question is why was he not at the preliminary hearing when his testimony could have narrowed down the time of death issue?
I think I know why but that is for a different post.
Some seem to think that the idea of a child porn ring is not real. But then I guess that would a waste of time for the Federal Government and many other international agencies working diligently to break them up. All you have to do is a little research on the Internet and you will be amazed at what you just might find. What I find the most interesting in all of this is that the perpetrators of these crimes permeate the religious institutions the government and the press of this nation. These high ranking officials seem to be of the attitude that they can not be touched.
Now I don’t know about any of you but there seems to be a large rash of high powered political and religious figures who are getting busted with there pants down. These are the same people who have been so vocal about denying equal rights for the Gay community. Now does it not make you wonder why all of the secrecy with regards to child pornography and child prostitution and child trafficking. We are talking about a world wide billion dollar industry here. Why is not enough being done to put a stop to the willful abuse of Americas children? Sure they pass laws to protect the children but the perpetrators of the crimes just go right ahead and commit these crimes any way because they are writing the laws.
In the past year there have been a few high profile child sex rings busted but do we ever hear about the offenders being prosecuted? No we do not and the reason is that the people who are being arrested are way to connected to the powers that be. If the truth was to ever get out how deep seated this really is the world would be shocked. The fact is that most of the people who are involved are in such denial that it is wrong that it just makes me sick. I don’t know how to better say this than to just put it out there. Others have tried and they got no where or they were stopped by high placed officials. The vast majority of the people who read what is out there are just calling them conspiracy theorist. Just ask the parent of one of the children who was abducted if it is a conspiracy.
The judge presiding over the Bryan Kocis murder case had harsh words for the defense attorney’s and the prosecution with regards to actions not taken that impedded the pretrial hearing. Here are links to the Times Leader or the Citizens Voice for the full story. Judge Olszewski says of the case “Kocis homicide Time and money wasted as conflict of interest not disclosed weeks ago,” We never got to see the testimony of any of the witnesses and I know that upset allot of people especially the ones who made the trip to testify.
From what I have witnessed with regards to this case is that this hearing was doomed from the start. With the prosecution making documents sensitive to the case public and the defense and the Prosecution not being forthcoming with the information about the possible conflict I can see why the judge is a little peeved. There were people flown in from all over the country who just got a lovely little vacation in lovely Luzerne County on the prosecutions dime. I bet the taxpayers are going to love that. Well lets wish them better luck next time. Also in the news is the possibility of more postponments with regards to the issue of Demtrius Fannick and whether he will be allowed to defend Cuadra.
Late Wednesday, Cuadra’s remaining attorneys, Stephen Menn and Michael Senape, filed a motion to suspend all pre-trial proceedings in Luzerne County Court until the state Superior Court determines whether it will accept a petition requesting a review of Olzsewski’s March 19 order barring Cuadra from retaining defense attorney Demetrius Fannick.
