All About Harlow…
Some time ago I ask people to send in information about Harlow so I could dedicate a blog all about Harlow.
It seems no one that responded to my request for information about Harlow could say anything bad about Harlow (other than his choice of employment, even though the most that responded was former clients of his). Most that know Harlow have spoken very highly of him and have not said one bad thing about him. In some emails I sent back I even ask them to say one thing against Harlow and again the only thing stated badly against him was his choice of employment. Not one person spoke against his character, morals or standards of life. Not one person was able to say Harlow was violent or had a history of criminal acts. Not one person could say he was malicious, mean or vicious. All comments to the contrary. Harlow was nice, sweet, lovable and overall an awesome guy.
I think this is interesting to say the least. Someone to be accused of murder and not one single person could speak badly about him as a person.
One of the most interesting responses was a copy of a letter sent to Harlow and I now have a copy of that letter. So I thought I would share it with you.

R Ready for what lies ahead of you
A Ass, damn it man, sorry I keep thinking of your ass.
Well to answer your question that’s what I see in your name. Oh wait, that’s right you did not ask. I just wanted to let you know that I’m thinking of you (and your ass -- in a good way I might add..lol) I don’t think I should have watched that video of you before I wrote this.
One email I got said
“I first met Harlow in news year 2001 I have met him through the escort agency he used to work for from then I have been seeing him since than let me tell you about him Harlow is a smart person with a lot charms and understanding I like very much he used to be in the navy, Harlow is the type of person who would do anything for a friend, now when this happen when he first got arrested in Virginia Beach I have supported him I did not walked away from Him. Since then we have been writing letters to each other now he's in Pa I still support him and pray for him. His mom and family I have been in contact with writing e-mail to his mom to let her know I'm here for Harlow that I got the family support.
The letters he writes me made me stronger and positive
every time I get a letter from Harlow it makes my day sometimes I have tears coming my eyes which I called joy of tears..
If you would please post this in all about Harlow
I want Harlow to know I’m always here for him
As the song goes you’re always on my mind by the pet shop boys”
Most of the email I got about Harlow were brief and instead of posting each individual email I will just say that the people that actually knows Harlow knows him as a kind, caring, honest person. One email just said "Harlow is the most awesome guy I have met in a long time"
Then we have to ask how this all ties Harlow into a violent crime, a crime of passion. The worst of worst as far as crimes are concerned.
According to research
Violent crime continues to be a serious problem in the United States despite reports of a decline in the overall crime rate. In 1993 1.9 million violent crimes were reported to the police, but a survey of victims finds that the actual number of violent crimes was 10.8 million.
Revolving-door justice is a reality:
1)About one-third of all persons arrested for a violent crime (murder, rape, robbery, assault) are already on probation, parole or pretrial release.
2)The vast majority of convicted criminals are not incarcerated
3)Surveys of prisoners show that most of them are violent or repeat criminals.
4)More than 90 percent of state prisoners have committed one or more violent crimes or served a previous sentence to incarceration or probation.
4)Even most "nonviolent" prisoners have long adult and juvenile criminal histories.
Justice Is A Revolving Door
John DiIulio, a leading crime researcher at Princeton University, contends that the statistics show that revolving-door justice still exists and is a major cause of continued high levels of crime.
1)In 1992, there were about 10.3 million violent crimes, 641,000 arrests and 165,000 convictions -- 90 percent obtained by plea bargaining.
2)A study of 1,411 convicted killers in Virginia found that an astonishing 33 percent were either in prison, on probation, on parole or out on bail awaiting trial when they killed.
Another book I have read states
Quotes from INSIDE THE CRIMINAL MIND:
"How a person behaves is determined largely by how he thinks.
Criminals think differently."
"We must understand how criminals think and realize that they have a fundamentally different view of the world from that of people who are basically responsible. I submit that this basic understanding, if it ever existed, has been lost in the fog of theoretical speculation and political rhetoric often espoused by people who have never even met a criminal.
There are numerous books and papers written that have researched the criminal mind, how they work, what criminals think, how criminals act, how criminals talk and nothing I have reviewed, read or studied has even come close to Harlow.
When looking at numbers (I know this is out dated, but I cannot find the current copies of this report)
• In 1992, there were about 10.3 million violent crimes, 641,000 arrests and 165,000 convictions -- 90 percent obtained by plea bargaining.
Do the math, should we always automatically assume the State is 100% correct in what they assume regarding criminals and criminal activities?
Of course we have those thinking the criminal justice system is working as it should. For the most part I agree but if our Justice System is working so great why out of 641,000 arrests were there only 165,000 convictions?
If our system was so awesome one would want to believe the number of convictions would match the number of arrest. This is not the case as documented in this report.
Could it be that the theoretical speculation could be wrong?
Could it be political rhetoric?
I don't know the answer but the numbers dont lie. There are problems in our system and the numbers prove the State only about 10% of the time is correst in what they assume and that the State only 10% of the time have been able to prove the theoretical speculation as fact in a court of law.
This list could go on and on of different documented facts but since this is all about Harlow we will leave it all about Harlow.

Jakester--
This is the stuff of the post conviction stage of a trial.
Not to seem callous because these people have obviously only seen the side of Harlow they were paying for sexual favors and servicing which doesn't mean that Harlow could not come across as a terrific companion. They weren't paying him to be a vicious killing fiend. Harlow's escorting, and providing the sexual favors that entails, is a contrived situation nonetheless.
Then again, to be truly objective one must consider these shattering statements: "the [Luzerne County] district attorney’s office also wants to tell jurors about Cuadra and Kerekes’ alleged attempts to provide false alibis to deflect blame in the case.
'Their plan to commit murder did not end with homicide, but continued thereafter when they attempted to cover up their crime by soliciting individuals to provide law enforcement investigators with false information as to where Defendant Harlow Raymond Cuadra was on Jan. 24, 2007 (the day of Kocis’ death).'” Perhaps you would care to reconcile these statements with the claim, I will paraphrase, of your post here--Harlow and Joe have no violence in their past and no history of criminal activity either.
I would also add this statement because it does seem to indicate that the Prosecution has evidence and witnesses to the contrary, to wit, it is written: "[The prosecution] want[s] to show evidence that Cuadra and Kerekes: burglarized Kocis’ home; ran an escort service and illegal prostitution service; approached individuals to ask them to give police false information about their whereabouts the day Kocis died; and destroyed some of Kocis’ personal property," as reported in both The Citizen's Voice and The Times Leader, quoting a Luzerne County DA's office spokesman.
Perhaps you will straighten out this apparent paradox regarding which Harlow Cuadra should stand up and tell the truth.
Rob,
Be callous all you want, I really don’t care.
You are entitled to your opinion as I am entitled to mine.
As far as the post is concerned, the most people that responded with information are the people that knew Harlow as a person. That person may have been a prostitute, but none the less they knew him.
It’s a proven fact that criminals think differently than most people. The behavior, attitude and morals are different. This has been well researched and documented. The usual criminal history or violent background is present in most all cases. Again, this is well documented.
This is not the case with Harlow. Not one person could speak badly of him. Regardless of how they knew him. A criminal is a criminal. The criminal mind works on different links all the time. The people that know Harlow personally cannot say anything bad about him other than his choice of work.
Unlike some others that keep getting mentioned in the blogs. With these other people, there have been tons of bad stuff posted about them and yet you want to proclaim their innocence at all cost.
Unless you are claiming Harlow is psychotic or schizophrenic. People with severe mental disorders can be 2 different people. This is not the case with Harlow. According to the people that know him (and not clients) he is still the kind, caring person he has always been.
So I hope the DA is researching a lot of stuff. Unfortunately, there are a lot of unanswered questions in this case.
One thing I find interesting, they want to make a point that Harlow was a prostitute and how awful a person must be to be a prostitute. It’s funny the key witnesses are (or) where the same as Harlow. Wonder what a jury will think? They want to prove Harlow being dishonest because of prostitution and yet Sean is right there with him. The defense attorney will have a field day with this if it is brought up.
