At shell, we believe the world needs a broader mix of energies, which is why we are supplying natural gas, to generate cleaner electricity, that has around 50 fewer co2 emissions than coal. And why with our partner in brazil, we are producing a biofuel made from renewable sugarcane to fuel cars. Lets broaden the Worlds Energy mix, lets go. Welcome back. Tonights warriors lakers game featured two of the best scores in the entire nba. One team came in with only two losses, the other came in with only one. Can you figure out who we are talking about . How about stephen koch. And guess who was there, shaq . These guys dont even like each other, second quarter, warriors up 17, kobe hits the leaner from the corner. Two minutes left in the half, kobe 28 points in the first half. Second quarter, up 11, off the miss, maurice with a ridiculous one and he got fouled. Later in the second quarter, steph curry finds bogut, and bogut will finish. And Jack Nicholson said this made more sense filming one flew over the cook coos nest. The warriors win it 136 to 150. Thats our team right there, we were at our best, everybody chipping in offensively, defensively, challenging shooters, getting stops, is so that we can get out and run and get into our flow offense. It was a dangerous game for us, we played very well yesterday. Back to back. Youve got to be careful with these games and the big thing for us was we moved the ball, we stuck to our game plan and i think we controlled the whole tempo of the game. I know its early, i think that steve curry hire is a good one. Tonight in stan jose, tonight the san jose rookie goaltender shot 35 shots, he became the 22 and nhl goalkeeper to we got sharks, we got canes, we got game six of sharks seven games on the road and this guy making his first career start. Early in the first, loses to the stick, but Tyler Kennedy hands in his and makes two saves with someone elses stick. Thats pretty good. Eventually got his stickback, his stick is bigger and better. Later in the frame, sharks take the lead. Into the second, three more brig saves, including a diving glove save. He finished with 31 saves. End of the third now, he makes two saves. And the win brought tears to his dads eyes. Its kind of a scream come u true and its kind of like just like you write it up when youre a little kid. The guys played great in front of me, i saw so many pucks, not too many difficult ones i felt like. More football still ahead, the defending champs fall to a familiar fate. Were talking playoff next. helicopter whirring roars siren wails pop music playing when youre ready ready, ready, ready come and get it get it, get it when youre ready, come and get it na na na na na na na na na na na when youre ready, come and get it na na na na. Female announcer its a great big world and it can all be yours. Here and only here. Come and get it. Cardinals versus detroit. Michael floyd, touchdown, 42 yards for the score. Floyd end up for this one. He climbed that ladder. This team is very dangerous. Theyre very good. Later in the quarter, they hook up again, 12 yards for the score, thats all they would need. The cardinals win 146, theyre 9 and 1. Stanton, quarterback, seahawks and chiefs, third quarter, Russell Wilson with the play fake, 2017, seattle. Fourth quarter, jahmahl charles. Get away from me defenders. Runs 47 yards, finished with a buck 59 and four scores. Very nice play, nile davis, plugs it in. Chiefs hold on to win 2420. All of a sudden seattle looks vulnerable. Nfc west standardings, first place arizona. Seattle and San Francisco knotted at 6 and 4. They will play twice in three weeks. They still havent played starting first on thanksgiving at levis stadium. You like the position the niners are in right now for a playoff spot . I do. Niners are in a great position, the biggest thing is the niners, they have to start scoring some points. Theyre having stops. Right now San Francisco the seventh seed, of course the first six are in the playoffs, oaklands not winning no matter what. They can win every game and still not theyre not winning any games, my point is San Francisco didnt play great today, offense didnt look great, but they won, they won two straight on the road. My point is, theyre winning, theyre on a little bit of a run now, even if they dont look great. You got to realize too, they played against the saints who is a dangerous team, hadnt lost in that dome. Thats a tough place to win. They have won 11 straight there. Then they go to new york and new yorks always a dangerous team. Found a way to win that game, two games didnt look pretty, but they found a way. Thats the mark of a good team, so they got to keep this rolling. Well go to the central time zone, the eastern time zone, they have debated staying back east. Thats a tough scenario and they did it twice on the road. You got to commend their coaching staff, getting these young men to play at the 49ers, theyre sitting at a great position, they have to find a way because its getting tough. Its going to get exciting. For the old decade man, load me up, im dave feldman, thanks for watching. Not as well as i wish i did. Most of my memories are just stories i have been told by other people. Carmens sister kristen and her husband jim helped raise nick. Bedtime stories were often about his beautiful mother. She was very athletic. She was in swimming and basketball, softball, track, and she was in homecoming court, prom queen. She dated a football player, she was a cheerleader. Her liveliness. She was very vivacious, very beautiful, and very fun. She had nick fairly early in life and did a great job of working and providing for nick at the same time. Did you feel robbed that you never got to experience all those things a mother and son get to experience together . Definitely. A lot of people in my family say that i act just like her. That she was a happy person. A happy life that ended in an appalling act of violence. The Police Officers who discovered carmens body got an immediate, emphatic lead from her upstairs neighbor Lottie Spencer. Did you know immediately who had done this . Mmhmm. Who had committed this . I knew. Lottie was certain it was the work of a tooker named waseen daker. Waseen and lottie had a history. She said it would explain the hideous attack. She told detectives her story. Things had started so innocently. Dont they always . I met him at the paint ball field playing bant paul. So we met by being teammates on the same team. Lottie was the captain of the team, kind of a den mother. To the other, much younger players. Especially waseen, a georgia tech student 12 years her junior. He didnt have anybody else he could open up and talk to, or share his thoughts and feelings with. So you felt kind of like a big sister to him . Thats exactly how i felt. Daker was a bit of a loner. He latched onto lottie, started calling her at work, at home, and wouldnt stop. I told him that, you know, i have a life, and youre just taking too much of my time. And then he would cry, and then i knew that there was a problem. What was a knewson knewson at first, lottie said quickly escalated, her phone was ringing off the hook up to 100 times a day. Why didnt you just stop talking to this person . I should have. I felt really sorry for him. I really didnt want him to get into trouble. It sounds so crazy. But maybe that also says about you that youre a good person. Or a very poolish person. Foolish, lottie says, because dakers stalking became bolder, increasingly bizarre. He started flipping out, yelling that hes going to get me. And slit my daughters throat in front of me. And i would come home from work, and there would be a pair of my underwear on my doorknob. Or a few days later a bra. What message is he sending with that . Look at me. Im getting into your place and getting away with it. Theres nothing you can do to stop me. Another time i came home early, and run into my bedroom and there was waseen daker. Naked. Wearing garter hose and a garter belt. Looking at himself in my mirror. This is any womans Worst Nightmare . Mmhmm. Lottie says things reached a Tipping Point when, once again, daker threatened her and her daughter. This time while brandishing a knife. He has always told me he could get away with the perfect murder. His plan was in the making. Finally, lottie decided to let the Justice System take over. Daker was arrested in august, but released on bond. A judge ordered him to stay away. He didnt. And was arrested again in september. This time he was sent to a Psychiatric Hospital for evaluation. Prosecutor jesse evans. Hes got some severe issues with obsession. I dont think he has the ability to feel compassion for other people. Hes clearly a brilliant individual, but hes a brilliant scary individual. While daker was hospitalized, lottie packed up and moved to the house in cobb county, about 20 minutes north of atlanta, where carmen and nick lived downstairs. So you moved. Yes. To try and escape him . Mmhmm. In october, on friday the 13th, waseen daker was released from the hospital, less than two weeks later, carmen smith was dead. Now Lottie Spencer was overwhelmed with guilt and anger. Waseen daker is evil. Hes pure evil. Hes a monster. And thats what lottie told police. She said her stalker must have been the one behind the attack on carmen and nick. But why . Daker was obsessed with lottie. He never met or even spoke to carmen. Or had he . Lottie thought she knew the answer. A phone call she says daker made to carmens phone a few days before the murder. It was friday the 20th and the calls started coming in. The phone got put off the hook and i could hear her phone ringing. Carmen answered and then hung up abruptly. What was said . Nobody knows. But carmen told her sister and brotherinlaw that the call was from lotties stalker. She said im going to go get a hammer and put it next to the bed, and i remember laughing,nying, if that guy decides to get in the house, hes in trouble. Gut you really never think it would go to where it went. When you talked about her, you know, packing some stuff and coming to stay with us for awhile. Lottie says seeing carmens reaction to dakers call was heartbreaking. And she did what she could to help her neighbor feel safe. The entryway from within her dwelling went from the sliding glass door, and so we just barricaded the door with some wood. She was so scared. She was shaking. And she was so scared. Just three days later, that glass door was open, and smeared with blood. And waseen daker was the lead suspect in a horrible crime. Coming up, evidence at the scene of the crime. There was a broken knife blade and hair and fiber evidence was recovered also from carmens body. Will it be enough to catch the killer . He was getting away with murder. He was getting away with exactly what he told me he would. When dateli looking for one of these . Yoplait. Smooth, creamy, and craved by the whole family. Just three days before she was killed, carmen smith told family and friends she had been called by waseen daker, the man who had been arrested for stalking her neighbor. It was the strongest allegation yet connecting the victim to the suspect. Investigators tipped off about that call by lottie now closed in on zaccer. Did you execute a search warrant on his house that night . We did. John dawes is a homicide detective with the Cobb County Police department. In his room, we found a piece of paper with the address where this crime occurred. We found a torn up letter that was his words to Lottie Spencer. Dakers tornup letter to lottie was hateful, and threatening. Prosecutor jesse evans. He specifically talks about having plans and backup plans to exact revenge on lottie and the worst part about the letter is he gets to the end and says im going to let you live. Im going to get revenge on you, but im go to let you live. To police and prosecutors, this wasnt just a rant. It looked like a blueprint for murder. Now they tried to link daker to the crime scene. Some of the important evidence that we start with is the hair and faber evidence that was recovered off of carmen smiths body. There was a broken knife blade. It was a fairly clean crime scene other than that. Carmen had small puncture wounds on her back, and terrible bruising suggesting a ferocious struggle. She had been not only tortured and murdered, but she had been undressed at some point and redressed. At carmens bedside, the hammer shed wanted for peace of mind. Never touched as she fought for her life. Not far away was the suspected murder weapon, a piece of rope. Crime scene technicians dusted for fingerprints and collected blood samples. The evidence was sent to the state crime lab for analysis. The lab tests kept coming back without the physical evidence that we needed that linked him to the dead body of carmen smith. Thats when we knew that it may always be a circumstantial case. And the circumstantial part of the case was just too weak to make an arrest. Prosecutors still believed daker was the only viable suspect in carmen smiths murder and the stabbing of her son nick, but they didnt have the evidence to prove it. The investigation stalled. What waseen daker walked away from the murder . He walked away from the murder, but not from some accountability. The police felt like they had a viable way of charging him with aggravated stalking. Daker was arrested and charged with stalking Lottie Spencer. There are multiple witnesses, friends of hers, friends of his, that actually observed firsthand some of the stalking activities that were occurring at her apartment, either by hearing the phone, hearing him knock on the door, he would come by. Daker was convicted in september of 1996 and sentenced to ten years in prison. It was the close to the worst chapter of Lottie Spencers life. But it wasnt a happy ending. Did you feel like you had some peace in your life again when he was behind bars . No. No, i mean, because he was getting away with murder. He was getting away with exactly what he told me he would. He needed to pay for what he did to carmen. After the trial, lottie decided to leave georgia to try to start over. Nick smith went back to the same school and the protective embrace of his family. I kind of just went back into the normal routine, i think that was the best way that i could have dealt with it. And i think my family did a pretty good job of trying to keep my life as normal as possible. During the next ten years, nicks life did finally return to normal. But in 2006, daker was released, and moved nearby. All the terrifying memories of the masked man wielding a knife came rushing back. Police decided to provide security to keep nick safe. They would have the cops sit outside of our house at night and we had cameras installed in my house on the outside, just as a precaution. Lottie says he was also looking over her shoulder. Telling me about the day that he got out, that he was a free man again . Not a good time. Were you waiting every day for the phone to ring or that bang on the door . Yes, i was starting to unravel again. Coming up, the fear begins all over and so does the push for justice. You had your smoking gun . Absolutely. Its another trial for what waseem daker. And just look whos addressing the jury. Did you remember to pay the dog sitter . Yeah, citi mobile. And deposit that check . Citi mobile. Pack your bathing suit . Wearing it. Niiice bank from almost anywhere with the citi mobile app. Waseem daker was a free man, but still a suspect in the murder of karmen smith and the stabbing of her son nick. He was still terrorizing you in some ways . Yes. Just the fact that he was out was kind of terrorizing. He is that character in those horror movies. Hes like your Worst Nightmare. After his release, daker got a job and moved to suburban atlanta. He was a free man and enjoying life. Here he is skydiving. And loving it. Dakers freedom galled homicide detective john dawes. The karmen smith murder was now officially a cold case. To dawes, daker was the one who got away. Does a case like this haunt a Police Department . Absolutely. Because these cases go home with you in your mind. But for years dawes couldnt do anything about it. And then just by chance, he was sent to a dna Training Seminar in 2008. A random assignment that would change everything. Back in the mid nineties, very, very little at all could be done with the hair except to say the color of the hair. Now when theres any tissue from the root on the hair whatsoever. It takes just a mint amount of tissue to come up with a full profile of dna. Its called nuclear dna testing and dawes immediately thought of karmen smith. Karmen was a strawberry blonde, and he remembered the short, dark hairs recovered from her body, not hers, under layers of bedding. I felt it was invaluable evidence if there was enough tissue on that hair that was underneath her sweater. Dawes brought one of those dark hairs to a zdna lab in texs and waited. It was almost 15 years after karmen smiths murder when the call came in. There was a match. They have identified waseem dakers hair, him and only him, to the exclusion of all others, on the dead body of karmen smith at the time that she was found. You had your smoking gun . Absolutely. I got a call from detective dawes. I was very happy, but it was really hard for me to have to go back and tell the story of the things that he did. Lottie dreaded the thought of testifying in open court, in front of daker, but she knew there would be no avoiding it. Daker was arrested and charged with murdering karmen smith and stabbing her son nick. His trial started in september of 2012. All rise. Prosecutor jesse evans was there for the state. This case ladies and gentlemen is about obsession. Evans argued that daker was a violent stalker and that his obsession with one woman led to the murder of another. You cant get into the mind of a psychopath and see why they chose to kill. Evans said daker had left a trail of destruction, and those critical hairs. The cold case, with dna technology, Proof Positive that it was waseem daker defending waseem daker was waseem daker. Initially i want to point out a couple of things. Just three principles of law that im going to give you. Before he took over his own case, daker had been represented by an experienced father and son team, michael and jason treadaway. They were still advising him, and believed the states case was vulnerable. They had no case without those hairs. Thats why they didnt go forward. Initially. They didnt have a case. And they knew it. Their advice to daker, focus on those hairs and dont obsess about lottie. This case had to be defended by attacking the science of the states case. But daker couldnt seem to let go. His focus from the start was his relationship with the states star witness. It was a romance, daker said, intimate in every way. Lottie insisted that was not true. Some of the things he said had to be just really beyond frustrating saying you two had a sexual relationship. You know what, there was no relationship, so theres nothing, you know, more that i can say about that. Did he ever try and do anything like kiss you since hes so in love with you . No. Never once. Never once tried to kiss me or anything. When daker finally turned to those hairs he called on dr. Greg tampekian. The prominent dna expert challenged the states key evidence. The nuclear dna test that was done on the root tissue of a single hair. The problem, he says, is none of the hairs recovered from the crime scene had any roots. There were hairs taken from the body and they were all clearly indicated on the reports as having no roots. Thats something you can do with the naked eye and of course the experts at the time used a microscope. Are you 100 sure the original hair had no root . The records all state that. So somehow it arrives at this laboratory, and its a hair with a root. Theres real problems with that piece of evidence. It was a serious challenge to the states key piece of evidence. And daker once again connected the evidence to Lottie Spencer. A liar, he said, who had ruined his life in the most treacherous way. She derailed the Murder Investigation by making all these false allegations. For lottie, all of the fear and hurt from her darkest days came rushing back every time daker mentioned her name. He was enjoying it. Like he had control again. And that made me feel like really weak. Jesse evans asked the jurors not to focus on lottie and to think about another woman when they started their deliberations. Karmen smiths body was laid to rest, but i assure you it was not in peace. After he took his seat, prosecutor evans was anxious, uncertain what the jury would do. We were really holding our whole case together with two hairs. Two hairs from the victims body. If theres a plausible explanation for how those hairs come back with his dna results. If theres an explanation for that, our case is no longer viable. It took the jury just 3 1 2 hours to reach a verdict. We the jury find the defendant waseem daker guilty of count one, malice murder. Guilty of the murder of 30yearold karmen smith. You go all these years thinking that he got away with it. And he didnt. At dakers sentencing, the state called just one witness, nick smith, who was determined to face his attacker one last time. I did not let him defeat me. Noway. My life has been on hold. Nick struggled to hold back tears. You wonder will someone other than me control my life and enter my thoughts. Hes finally caught and im finally free. I love you, mom. I never wanted to use what happened as any sort of crutch or let it get in the way. I did the best i could. If she was still here, i think she would be proud. The judge decided dakers sentence, life in prison plus 47 years. But a defiant daker refused to sign the document for his sentencing. Its typical of the coward that you would act the way youre acting. And thats what you are, a coward. Case closed. Justice for karmen and nick smith and the victory lottie had wanted so badly. But the story was far from over. Something happened at the end of the trial that would come to haunt lottie, something that would lead her to realize that there was still unfinished, and unbelievable business in her saga with waseem daker. Coming up, a final verdict, yes. The final chapter . Not even close. A stunning confession is about to turn this case around. I couldnt let it go. I have a conscience. I had to live with me. 36 of all teachers in the u. S. Have been teaching for more than 20 years. What does that mean . Do the math. We need more teachers to lead future generations. The more you know. Take him back. Waseem daker had been convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. It looked like he was out of Lottie Spencers life, finally, and forever. It was very emotional. But so good. So very good. Do you feel free . Finally free . I feel like a lot of weight has been lifted and im 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 had closed that chapter. But it turns out, she didnt. Not by a long shot. In fact, within a year, she had 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, lottie now says she had in the mid 90s she had an ongoing sexual relationship with waseem daker, that he wasnt really her stalker, he was her lover. It was something she had flat out denied for 17 years. If what youre saying is true, you lied to the district attorney, you lied in open court to the jury. You lied to me. Mmhmm. There are no words to describe just how very remorseful i am. What i did was wrong. I am taking 100 , full responsibility for what i have done. The damage i have caused this man. And his family is theres nothing 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 daker. Did waseem threaten you . Your life . No. Did he threaten anyones life around you . No. Are you in love with waseem daker . No. I never was in love with mr. Daker. And youre not today . No. But lottie says even though she and daker were in a relationship, she still feared him. And until recently, genuinely believed he was a murderer. I was terrified of him. That was no lie. Those emotions were real. I had the nightmares. I lived in that fear. She says that fear drove her to lie to put daker behind bars, but the euphoria she felt after the verdict started to sour. She couldnt stop thinking about something prosecutor jesse evans said during the trial. I learned during the closing arguments that karmens lifeless body was wrapped up in five layers of bedding, and i was shocked. And i started to get pretty scared at that moment, because i had given karmen two blankets just before her death. They were blankets she now says she and daker had slept in together. Mr. Daker used those blankets on a number of occasions. I mean, he was welcome in my home, and we were friends, and hed spent the night, and clearly, i knew that his dna could have been on those blankets. Remember, karmen had been found under several layers of bedding. If one of lotties blankets was among them, it could explain how dakers hair got on karmens body. This isnt a maybe, this is a woman whos risking perjury charges whos turning against her own selfinterest. This is a woman who can explain this evidence. You have to take this seriously. The doctor who had been a paid Expert Witness for daker is now working on the case for free in his role as director of the idaho innocence project. He believes lotties story is a game changer. Now theres a logical explanation of how the hairs got there. This is one of those places where you just have to shake the system and say, wait a minute, this is so obvious. He didnt get a fair trial. I couldnt let it go. I have a conscience. I have to live with me. So lottie decided to come forward. And after filing several afts with the court, judge mary frailly granted daker a hearing for a new trial. But jessty evans wasnt buying lotties new story. Thats because while he was preparing for dakers hearing he believed he found that storys real source. Theres a real issue here. Something is going on behind the scenes that we werent aware of. Coming up, another revelation, inside a prison cell, 4,000 pages of secrets. Do you think waseem daker is manipulating lottie from prison . Cocoa or eggnog . Toasty or frosty .

Com easierbanking to learn more. For almost two decades, heres how Lottie Spencer talked about waseem daker. Waseem daker is evil. Hes pure evil, hes a monster. But now she calls him a victim. You know what . I messed up really bad. Despicable. Lotties reversal was astonishing. In the years since karmen smiths murder, she had built a new life, shes a single parent again raising a young boy and living in a new home. By recanting her testimony, she was putting all of that at risk. How worried are you right now that you could go to jail for perjury . Im very worried. I know that im facing prison time. And there will be severe penalty for what i do and i dont want to be ripped away from my little boy. I have everything to lose. A year after dakers conviction the hearing began on the motion for a new trial. Daker, again representing himself, called the doctor, the dna expert, to the stand. The man sleeps in the blanket, could his hair transfer to the blanket . Yes. And if a man has sex in the blanket, can his hair transfer to the blanket . Yes. Dr. Hampekian laid the scienciveic foundation but dakers chances really hinged on lot tis. Next witness. Loretta spencer blatz. A hush came over the courtroom as a nervous lottie made her way to the stand and swore to tell the truth. Just prior to karmen smiths murder, i gave her two blankets. Blank thatses that i knew that you used in my roswell apartment. She acknowledged having a sexual relationship with daker and then lotties old list of dakers abuses started to topple like dominoes. Did the defendant ever threaten you with a handgun . Never. Did i ever physically threaten to kill you or harm you . Never. Did i ever steal your bras, panties or hang them on your doorknob . No. There are going to be people who will see this and think, youre lying now. And that youre really telling the truth before. What reason do i have . I have everything to lose. Im doing it because this is right. In a bristling crossexamination, prosecutor jesse evans portrayed lottie as a troubled, unreliable woman. Did you admit to us that you had some mental issues you were dealing with. I said i was suffering anxiety and depression. Okay. Evans next move was stunning. He presented evidence that he said explained lotties incredible reversal. Letters confiscated from dakers prison cell. 4,000 pages of correspondence between the convicted murderer and the woman who testified against him. I sent him daily devotions. Bible verses. Encouraging cards. I sent him a lot of information, case files. I actually feel like i am his personal secretary in a way. It turns out lottie has actually been helping with dakers appeal. Hes been giving her research assignments. She looks up cases, prints up documents, mails them to prison and then waits for his next request. Do you think waseem daker is manipulating lottie from prison . Theres no doubt by sending those letters to him, a convicted murderer, a sociopath, shes opened the door. Shes 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 exactly what he wants . Absolutely not. This is a repentive woman who is very remorseful and very sorry for what she has caused the. But evans says those letters tell another story. He says lottie knew about the bedding and hair evidence long before dakers murder trial started and never said a word about giving any blankets to karmen. It wasnt until after she started secretly communicating with the defendant that she then made this broad assertion that, well, i had given some blankets to karmen. The problem with that is that i challenged her on it. Describe the blankets. Tell me which ones they were. She couldnt remember. So theres no smoking gun or smoking blankets in this case . Absolutely. I dont think there are any blankets. I dont think theres any evidence of that. On the stand, lottie not only recanted her testimony from two trials, but described the incredible lengths shes willing to go to help set daker free. So you believe so strongly in this you applied for a second mortgage to help in waseems defense. And you even took out a Life Insurance policy with naming waseem as the beneficiary . My daughter is the beneficiary. She would get a third, my son would get 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 lotties efforts, the fundraising, the correspondence with daker, the legal research, judge staley didnt buy her new story. She rejected dakers motion for a new trial. The right results were reached for the right reasons. I know that weve done things the right way and i feel confident in the defendants guilt. The ruling included a harsh rebuke of lottie. The judge said she lacked credibility, and her new testimony appeared to have been concocted by the defendant. But lottie seems unbowed, ready to carry on her fight. Somebody needs to stand up and say, wait a second, justice was not served in this case. And on that point, lotties not alone. Daysen treadaway, dakers shadow attorney during trial, agrees. The circumstances of how dakers hair came to be on that bed, what kind of more pivotal evidence could there possibly be . I believe the man deserves a new trial. How can you believe anything lottie says, though, now . I think when you have a mans liberty and life at stake you have to believe what she says. How can you at least not allow 12 different people to hear her version now, and let them decide if its true or not. They were an unlikely couple when they met. Even more unlikely partners today. But after all these years, lottie and waseem are still very much a part of each others lives. 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 did not do. Ive got to make it right. I have no doubt that waseem baker is a coldblooded killer and that justice has been served with his conviction. I certainly hope that the Supreme Court agrees. If they disagree.
