Real story: How far are we aloud to go as human beings for the love of someone? Are rapes and murders justified? Only a very twisted mind would think so. Karla Homolka’s case shocked all Canada. For the love a handsome man, Paul Bernardo, her future husband, very wild in bed and persuasive, she accepted to sedate her own sister of only 15 years and give her as a present gift for Christmas to be raped, without her knowledge or consent. She also accepted to make sexual advances to her sleeping sister and watched her raped, all registered on the camera. Her sister died that night from accidentally choking on her vomit. No remorse for either of them. After all, they only planned to rape her. And this was only the beginning. Karla wanted to keep Paul’s love at any price. She chooses another victim, very young and virgin, who looked very much like Karla's dead sister, Tammy. Jane would be Karla's wedding gift to Paul. From rape to murder was only one step left. Leslie Mahaffy died after being brutally raped, slaughtered into pieces and dumped into Lake Gibson. Kristen French, another teenager, was kidnapped by the couple from the church parking space. She believed that cooperation was her only chance for survival. The more she cooperated, the more sadistic Paul became with her. Finally he strangled and abandoned her on a ditch. Karla accepted for years any vicious fantasy of her lover. She changed her mind only when he began to use her as a punching bag. She got 12 years of prison in exchange for testifying against her husband. She was released on Monday, the 4th July. Bernardo will never be released from prison.

That woman is somewhere in Montreal or one of the suburbs. She doesn't want to follow any therapy and her lawyers appeared in court Tuesday, a.i. the next day she was set free, to appeal the conditions that are meant to restrain her movements for at least one year.

Her husband was the bad wolf, I agree, but Homolka was not an angel either. She should have the same sentence like her husband. The sordid story of the couple began because Karla was not virgin before marriage. And she didn't hesitate at all, in order to compensate, to drug and rape with cold blood her own sister. The couple used the camera for each of their victim.

The psychiatrist who evaluated Homolka said she is neither a psychopath nor a serious threat to re-offend. That psychiatrist should change career, in my opinion.

And I definitively don't want that woman as my neighbour.

i can't speak for your case, our woman, myra hindly will probably never be released. i do know that similar cases, such as the killers of james bulger, and mary bell have been relocated with their identities hiden. i'd not think that they would want to live where there have been such huge outpourings of hatred.
I do know, from my own experience, that a registered sex offender was considering moving to my neighbourhood. a local got hold of the news and published it all over my villiage. there was such a huge public protest that this person has not moved to the neighbourhood. i feel pity for people who genuinly want to reform and move on. but i have to small children and wouldn't take any chances.

As from what you said, she doesn't want to follow a therapy, no I wouldn't trust her in my neighbourhood too.
Even if she thinks she's sane, accepting to follow one and the restriction imposed on her circulation right would be an intelligent move to show she wants to reform.

The couple lived in southern Ontario. Homolka had learned French in prison with the clear intention to live in Québec, once released.

Here you have a quote from another article about the position of her lawyers :

Quote:

Homolka appeals conditions as unconstitutional restrictions on her freedom (by ROSS MAROWITS- July 5, 2005)
JOLIETTE, Que. (CP) - Less than a day after their notorious client was released from prison, Karla Homolka's lawyers appeared in court Tuesday to appeal the conditions that are meant to shackle the killer for at least one year.
They contend the strict conditions, which include that she check in regularly with police, provide notice for trips outside Quebec, and have no contact with violent criminals, are excessive, unfair and unconstitutional
A Quebec court judge ordered the conditions last month under Sec. 810 of the Criminal Code. Homolka's lawyers argue the section violates several provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
It is a violation of the fundamental principles of justice for a citizen's freedom to be restricted based on fears about future conduct without sufficient proof to lay criminal charges, says a portion of the five-page notice of appeal.
"Article 810.2 of the Criminal Code allowing a person to be punished even when the state is incapable of proving that she has committed a crime, is a violation of the fundamental principles of justice."
Homolka's lawyers said Judge Jean Beaulieu committed several errors in handing down the conditions without first examining proof of the threat she currently poses, while ignoring any evidence in her favour.
The lone condition the appeal singles out is the one forcing Homolka to follow psychological therapy.
The appeal said it was an "illegal delegation of power" to force Homolka to undergo therapy with one particular psychologist or someone designated by her.

As you can see, they really want to make her a Snow White. She is responsable for 3 murders and she got only 12 years. I saw her at the television. She wants to make us believe she has remorses, but her eyes said the contrary.

Our criminal laws need an up-date for this century. If they keep criminals behind the bars only for a few years, than the criminality will grow consequently.

P.S. please vote :wink:
