Homolka’s fair game…

CBC News: Judge denies plea for media ban in Homolka case
Background: She and ex-hubby Paul Bernardo raped and killed girls (including her own sister for which she’s never been charged) in Ontario in the early 90’s. In what’s been called ‘a deal with the devil’ She spilled the beans in a plea deal that pissed a lot of people off when it turned out she had far more involvement than first thought. She was sentenceed to 12 years in jail for ‘manslaughter’ for which she served the full term. Now, fearing for her life, and rightly so, she wants special treatment an to be left alone.

Whatever. You’re a sex offender. Perhaps you should have thought of consequences when you over-anesthetized and killed your sister so Paul could rape her. Or considered your future while helping hubby dismember Leslie Mahaffy and encase her in concrete to toss her unceremoniously into Lake Gibson. It should have entered your head that you had messed up when cutting off Kristin French’s hair to hide her identity after another video taped rape/murder session.

I don’t believe anyone, regardless of gender, should get any kind of a break for crimes as heinous as these unless there’s obvious rehabilitation in the way of taking responsibilities for one’s actions. The fact that this murderer has the gall to request privacy is completely irksome and shows there’s not much rehabilitation here. According to some (not all) recent psychiatric testimony she still shows no remorse for what she has done and that she is at risk to reoffend. Pretty scary. I personally would like to know if this creep was in my neighbourhood.

Karla Homolka was lucky to have gotten away with only 12 years in prison and long life of guilt (if she’s even capable of that). I’ve read a lot about this case and the evidence I’ve seen and heard (that which we’ve been allowed thanks to Canadian publication bans) all points to her being as culpable as Paul Bernardo. As I don’t believe in the death penalty I don’t think she deserves to die. However, karma works in that she might just live every day of the rest of her life in fear. She has a life to live. There are three who don’t have lives to live as a result of her actions…
