The Lies Started Early...

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.

To Think... It's Already Been a Year...

One year ago this weekend, Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes flew out to San Diego to visit with Sean Lockhart and Grant Roy (they stayed at the Marriott, visited the Zoo, etc...). Little did Harlow and Joe know that their every word was being recorded while visiting Black's Beach. (and possibly elsewhere as well).

As an handjtrial anniversary special, I offer you my own personal top ten favorite quotes from the BBT's... (think David Letterman):

#10: DEA AGENT ANDREW PAPPAS: "Well last time we did it, we didn't get the recording. It doesn't hurt to hit the red one twice, right?"

#9: SEAN LOCKHART: "My stomach hurts."

#8: JOSEPH KEREKES: "Baby, remember, if you build up any speed, you're not gonna be able to stop, and you don't wanna get dirty or scratched, alright?"

#7: HARLOW CUADRA: "Well if you guys wanna take care of Cobra once and for all, I mean, I don't think there's a real hurry on it, unless he had a copy of all that paperwork at his lawyer's office, it's all gone."

#6: HARLOW CUADRA: "Umm, and ah, I said well, I saw all I needed to see, I was gonna keep one of them and give it to you as a gift. I was like, nah, it's too hot right now, let me just get rid of it, and ah, he also gave me a couple of items that are disintegrated now also. Ah, he had a Rolex, ah BCK and, and well it's gone."

#5: JOSEPH KEREKES: "Oh tell him about the brand new, he just got it in two days ago, sixty-five inch plasma TV..."

#4: HARLOW CUADRA: "Oh yea, yes, he knew who I was alright, I didn't, check this out... check this out, (inaudible) his fuckin phone rang, he goes ya know what, you remind me of something, of someone and he smiled and I was like ahhh, I don't know, I put my head down, like fuck, and then he smiled at me like ya know, I know who you fucking are, ya know what I mean, and ya know he had his hand on my dick, and ah he answers the phone and then right then ya know my dude comes around, ah hold on, and ah, he knew who the fuck I was, it was crazy, so I mean that whole thing about the escort thing, I think if the guy was (inaudible)".

#3: HARLOW CUADRA: "Yea, yea, I don't think that, honestly like thinking now, I don't think that if we all would have just sat back and you would have done it the legal way, I don't think it would have turned out the way you wanted, honestly. It sounded like they had everything lined up".

#2: 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?"

and Number One...

#1: HARLOW CUADRA: "Oh, no problem. Umm, actually seeing that fucker going down actually it's sick but it made me feel better inside. It almost felt like I got revenge and I know that sounds fucked up, really fucked up but I still couldn't sleep for a week, I had dark circles under my eyes, Xanax, Ambien, you name it, I was taking that shit but umm, he ya know... Like I told ya, it's all over with man, you done climbed that mountain. I know..."

So what are yours?
