In a post that I did (the blog's second) back on June 14, 2007... covering the seizure of Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes' house, Sassy (Cheryl Conrad) made the following comment:
"Sassy said...
PC,
I was there. The Times Leader is wrong. It was not because of the "well running dry".
Barry Taylor was not a client of Joe and Harlows. I know where you heard that Howard and that person is an unreliable source.

Well I guess the 'source' wasn't that unreliable after all, now that we have:
Joe's jailhouse confessions:
"KEREKES also advised RIGGS that his former attorney, Barry TAYLOR, was an escort client to whom KEREKES had performed sexual acts in the past."
...and from the Black's Beach Tapes:
"JOSEPH KEREKES: Very respectful, I mean very, I mean Barry never had to shut anybody up, and the interview went on for almost three hours, Harlow did really good, made it very entertaining, ya know, and Barry never shut him up. You know Barry's a client right?"
So what was Sassy (Cheryl Conrad) trying to hide? I guess we'll find out in July when she likely takes the witness stand. Can't wait to hear what Barry has to say as well... though just perhaps... Joe really is an unreliable source. Nothing would surprise me at this point.
Update: Another funny from the same June 2007 post:

"As far as Barry Taylor being a client that is a falsehood. He was their business attorney and he was barred from defending them by the court. he could not defend them because of the rico proceedings. That is why Virginia started the rico proceedings to get Barry Taylor out of the picture. As far a the seizure of their assets that is for the rico proceddings and It has been said that Joe and Harlow have been under investigation since January of 2006. The 2 informants were most likely busted and they were plead out for their testimony against Joe and Harlow. I have spoken to Joe and Harlow and they were not fugitives they were under advisement of counsel to not talk with the police. The home that is in question is the third home they have owned and the traded up everytime they bought a new one. The boybatter site was making quite a bit of money for them and that would explain the cash on hand. it was to pay the models and for day to day expences. The escorting business was questionable but it was a legally registered business and paid it's taxes so that would be a problem when it came time to prove that there is anything wrong there. The police would have to get their clients to confess to having sex with Joe or Harlow to prove that there was something illegal going on. As far a client list there is not one and there never was one. So you all can rule that evidence out."

Now if that's not spin... I don't know what is.
