good. so very good. do you feel free? finally free? i feel like a lot of weight has been lifted and i m going to close this chapter and just go on with my life in a positive way. that was lottie in 2012. she told us she closed that chapter but she didn t. not by a long shot. in fact, since that interview she turned this story completely upside down with astonishing revelations. we sat down with her again to hear her new version of things. so did not expect to be sitting here talking to you again. no. major turn of events. yes, there has been. it all began with a bombshell. mr. daker and i had a consensual sexual relationship. yes, she now says in the mid 90s she had an on going sexual relationship with him. he wasn t really her stalker. he was her lover.
she acknowledged having a sexual relationship with daker and then lottie s old list of daker s abuses startle to topple like dominos. never. did i ever physically threaten you, to kill or harm you? never. did i ever steal your bras, panties or hang them on your doorkn doorknob? no. there are going to be people that think you re lying now and you were telling the truth before? what reason do i have? i have everything to lose. i m doing it because this is right. in a bristling cross-examination, prosecutor jesse evans portrayed lottie as a troubled unreliable woman? did you admit you were having mental issues? i said i was suffering anxiety and depression. the next move was stunning. he presented evidence that explained lottie s incredible reversal. letters confiscated from daker s
my daughter is the beneficiary. she would get a third, my son a third and daker would get a third. but yeah, i would mortgage my house and i would hire him the best defense that he could possibly get. despite all of that lottie s efforts. the fundraising, correspondence with daker, the legal research, judge staley didn t buy her new story. she rejected daker s motion for a new trial. the right result was reached for the right reason. i know we ve done things the right way. i feel confident in the defendant s guilt. it included a harsh rebuke of lottie. the judge said she lacked credibility and her new testimony seemed to have been concocted by the defendant. lottie seemed ready to carry on her fight. somebody needs sto stand up and say wait a minute justice was not served in this case. on that point, lottie is not loan. jason tread away, daker s shadow
i know that i m facing prison time. there will be severe penalty for what i do. i don t want to be ripped away from my little boy. i have everything to lose. a year after daker s conviction, the hearing began on the motion for a new trial. daker again representing himself, called the dna expert to the stand. a man sleeps in a blanket, can his hair transfer to the blanket? yes. if a man has sex on the blanket can his hair transfer got blanket? yes. daker s chances really hinged on lottie. loretta spencer blatz. a nervous lottie made her way to the stand and swore to tell the truth. just prior to carmen smith s murder, i gave her two blankets. blankets that i knew you used in my roswell apartment.
attorney what kind of pivotal evidence could there possibly be. i believe the man deserves a new trial. how can you believe anything lottie says now? i think when you have a man s liberty and life at stake, you have to believe what she says. how can you not allow 12 different people to hear her investigation now and let them decide if it s true or not. are you ever going to give up on waseem? are you in this until all appeals are exhausted? yes. i played a role of an innocent man being falsely convicted for crimes he didn t do. i ve got to make it right. in 2016, the georgia supreme court upheld daker s conviction. he tried to take his appeal all the way to the u.s. supreme court, only to be denied review. i have no doubt that waseem daker is a cold blooded killer and justice has been served with his conviction. doesn t matter what lottie says.
