prison cell. thousands of pages of correspondence between him and the woman who testified. i sent him bible verses, encouraging cards. i sent him a lot of information, case files. i actually feel like i m his personal secretary in a way. it turned out lottie had been helping with daker s appeal. he gave her research assignments. she looked up cases, printed documents and waitied for his next request. do you think waseem daker is manipulating lottie from prison? there s no doubt that she s opened the door, she s allowed him an opportunity to get back into her life and we already know that he has a history of manipulating her. is he manipulating you right now into doing what he wants? absolutely not. this is a repentant woman who is
it with was something she flat out denied for 17 years. if what you re saying is true, you lied to the district attorney, you lied in open court to the jury. you lied to me. there are no words. to describe how remorseful i am. what i did was wrong. i am taking 100% full responsibility. the damage i have caused this man and his family is there s nothing that i can do to take it back. nothing. lottie now says she lied under oath about the sex and about many of the stalking charges she had made against him. did he threaten you? never. no. did he threaten anyone s life around you. no. are you in love with him. no, i never was in love with mr. daker. and you re not today.
