Wilkes Barre, Pa- Four days before Bryan Kocis was killed, Harlow Cuadra purchased a background report on Kocis, that showed information such as his address, phone number and other facts about the Dallas Township man, a witness testified this morning.

Jennifer Marie Ortega, an employee of the Web based company USA People Search, said Cuadra purchased a “comprehensive background report on Kocis on January 20, 2007.

Kocis was stabbed to death at his Dallas Township home on January 24, 2007.

Prosecutors called four witnesses this morning in the capital case against Cuadra, 27, who could face the death penalty if found guilty of first-degree homicide in Kocis’ 2007 death. Prosecutors allege Cuadra killed Kocis, a rival producer of gay pornography, to further his own gay pornography business.

Kocis owned Cobra Video. Alexander Fuente, who was the Web master of Cobra Video’s online site, testified Tuesday that days before his death Kocis received two e-mails to the Cobra site from a man named Danny Moilin, who wanted to audition as an actor for Kocis. The five photos attached with the e-mail were shown to jurors and looked similar to Cuadra.

Prosecution will call more witnesses after a 20 minute break.
