He needs to get a grasp on reality. She's a scheming little b*tch who wanted her mother dead so she could run wild.
I don't think he can handle the truth.
Thinking of his daughter as a victim is probably a defense mechanism, an entirely understandable one.
Geez, what an awful story.
"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned." Mark Twain
Apparently there is some question as to her involvment.
Claus testified that Arrant told troopers after his arrest that Waterman was involved in the plan to kill her mother.
Wells questioned the reliability of that information during his cross-examination. He asked Claus about a recording of Arrant and Radel, in which they said Waterman was not involved.
The recording was made while Arrant was wearing a police wire. Investigators had asked him to record a conversation with Radel, because Arrant at first told them he had seen Radel driving the minivan with Lauri Waterman inside.
"Jason says (in the recordings that Rachelle Waterman) didn't have anything to do with it, right?" Wells asked. "And Brian says, 'Right.'"
