Harlow Cuadra and the Mystery Counsel

Most of you will recall that on Wednesday, November 21... Luzerne County prosecutors filed a motion stating that a conflict of interest existed with the public defenders office representing Harlow Cuadra.

Though I'm not sure which judge will actually rule on this motion (it wouldn't surprise me if it's Olszewski), it is expected that we'll get an answer to the prosecution's request sometime this week. One of three things will wind up likely happening... the judge will either:

1. Deny the motion
2. Approve the motion, and appoint conflict counsel
3. Order a hearing

While any of the above is certainly a possible outcome... if I were to take a guess, it'll either be option 2 or 3. Either way, we should hear something this week.
