Barry Taggert is a shoe store owner and the pimp of course college friends, including his daughter Shelly Taggert. When Shelly killed one of the women, Bridget Kaylin, Barry flew Shelly out to Europe and paid for her escape long distance. His assets were legally frozen, which left him no better choice than to relinquish Shelly for extradition.
Shelly was tried for murder, and she lied Barry was the real killer. This resulted in an acquittal, but Barry was arrested for criminal enterprising, which was promised to be dropped as a charge once Shelly returned. The D.A.’s office changed their mind after the sabotage, and Shelly just smugly taunted Barry about how she wouldn’t defend him.
Barry was found guilty of criminal enterprise charges and imprisoned. (L&O: “Girlfriends”)
