we were friends and he had spent the night and i knew his dna could have been on those blankets. remember carmen had been found under several layers of bedding. if one of her blankets was among them it could explain how daker s hair got on her body. this isn t a maybe. this is a woman risking perjury and charges and turning against her own self-interest. this is a woman that can explain this evidence. you have to take this seriously. he had been a paid expert witness for daker and worked on the case for free in his rule as director of the idaho innocence project. he believed her story was a game changer. now there s a logical explanation of how the hairs got there. this is one of the places where you have to shake the system and say this is so obvious. he didn t get a fair trial. i couldn t let it go. i have a conscience. i have to live with me. she decided to come forward.
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.
pedigree. i don t know about this one. they say that there was plenty of evidence to convict mr. daker separate and apart from the witness testimony given by loretta. that s right. and there was. and let me just say this, first of all, recanttation evidence, which is nothing new is generally met with great skepticism because of the opportunity and temptations for fraud which is just very obvious. some of the evidence, aside from the recantation evidence, including that in his possession, he had books called how to get away with murder and kill without joy. in those books there were sections on torture and brutality and some of those techniques he utilized on the example. for example, use small cuts on the back to get them to talk. apparently the injuries to miss smith were consistent. and there were ropes and
attack and his mother did not and now a key witness who testified against daker at the murder trial is saying that she lied, she lied in the trial under oath. loretta spencer blatz told the court that daker stalked her in the early 1990 s and she was roommates with the deceased. she testified she regretted not doing more before he killed her house mate. listen to her testimony then. if i would have known it led to this i would have clearly, i would have clearly done things differently, but i can t, i can t and as we mentioned he was convicted, but now she, loretta, is doing a reversal. and the defendant, daker, has already requested a new trial saying she was the star witness and he did not get justice. but will he get a new trial? joining me now jonna spilbor, and mark eiglarsh, the same
