Karla Homolka was turned down in a last minute ditch to get her sentence shortened, thanks to the guy pushing the buttons on the kismet machine. Her father was suprised that she tried and said, “At least she got her schoolin’!”
Checking the news, I found that Ms Homolka has been schooled in French, got her bachelor of arts degree in psychology and enrolled in postgraduate studies in criminology.
Meanwhile, the parole board said they denied her parole because her last application was different from her last.
From The Sun (I’m sorry. Sorry):
Homolka was “well informed” about the procedure and timing.
snip
A parole panel concluded on that occasion that Homolka was too high a risk to be released. The board cited the gravity of her crimes and an apparent personality disorder that could meet the threshold for diagnosis as psychopathic.
The panel noted that three prison diagnoses were in stark contrast to early prison evaluations, which assessed Homolka as a battered wife and a sufferer of post-traumatic stress syndrome.
So she’s been taught how to jimmy the system thanks to the system. Thankfully they caught her out. Hopefully they keep accurate records.
Hey! If Mr Jackson gets time, can we please give him unlimited internet access?

Nope, Canadian law is quite clear, she can’t make a thin dime off of anything in connection with her crimes. She can sue, maybe, but she would never actually see any of the bling.
I do think she’s going to be far worse off in the world than in jail.
She will survive, unfortunately.
Within a year of her release, she will have a movie and or a book deal and big Hollywood money will get her across the border no probs. If not, she will sue the creators of that banned movie, Deadly and live off that. Either way she’s quids in.
Then she will have her own talk show, either a flashy US one or a serious CBC “through the eyes of a killer”, The Hour style of show.
Did none of you see Natural Born Killers?
Sure she’s going to be released.
Then what? Here’s the thing, with her record she can’t leave the country so she’ll have to live somewhere in Canada.
What ever neighborhood she moves to you can be sure that the Sun newspaper will be interviewing all her neighbors, being sure to let everyone know within 10 blocks who the new face is.
Who’d want to live next to her? Who’d rent to her? Who’d deal with her? She’s going to get a job? Who’d hire her? Hell I’d take the assault charge to launch a loogie in her face. If she were my neighbors I’d buy two of the biggest, queasiest St Bernards you ever did see and feed them nothing but beans, bran and cod liver oil and make lawn / driveway look like a mud wrestling pit, only that ain’t mud.
You use your imagination with hate as fuel and you can fuck someone up real good without breaking the law… or at least serious laws. The fact that she’s now a celebrity of sorts (I’m not too sure on the Canadian laws on this but I’m going with the idea that they’re similar to American) means that she has less of an expectation of privacy.
Life will not be easy for her. She may have tricksied the criminal justice system but she won’t be dealing with that anymore, society will not be as easy to pull. It’s pretty hard to get a restraining order against an entire country.
If people focus we can get her living in an igloo above the tree line within a year of her release.
My view is that rapists are not necessarily intelligent people and think with their dick or “nether region” in Homolka’s case. They don’t think of the consequences of their act and only get off in the other person’s fear and pain.
In Homolka’s case, if she was as stupid as my vision of a rapist, she would have gone to jail and learned a trade, I don’t know something that doesn’t require too much “homework” per say.
No, she studied a second language, earned a degree in psychology (no small feat) and is now studying crimonology… these are the signs of a somewhat intelligent person, someone who has a vision, know what he/she’s doing, know what they want… unlike a rapist…
I sincerely think Homolka is guiltier than her then husband, that with her “smarts” she indeed manipulated the whole thing… Her husband on the other hand, is a rapist, he didn’t think any further than how long it would take him to cum. She was even smart enough to go to the police first to get a plea bargain… If our system was just, she would have been in a dark hole, no bigger than her husband’s cell and would not have access to the comfortable life she’s had the last 12 years, and would certainly not be looking forward to being release from jail in the near future.
Yes, but clearly MJ can’t keep his hands off the kiddies as numerous trials and payoffs would seem to indicate.
As far as Ms. Homolka goes, had she not copped a plea bargain and was indeed charged as the accomplice to her husbands acts, she’d be in jail for the same 25 to life that Paul got. And as you pointed out, now she is emerging from jail with a degree paid for by you and me.
And I don’t think she has done “her time” considering that the two girls only got slightly longer than 12 years in their own lives so it doesn’t really seem fair to me that Karla should get out and be allowed to carry on her life clean and free.
Look at the crap Steven Truscott, David Milgaard and other went through and where proven innocent in Milgaard’s case and un-provable in Truscotts. Whereas there supposed to be video taped evidence of karla and her part in the torture of the two girls.
I just don’t know, DR, if only the Karmic Wheel of Justice was a bit smaller all the nasties in the world would be the kick to the head they deserve sooner than later.
I’m not the greatest believer in criminal justice but I do think that you earn a degree of privacy after serving your time. Especially if you have (supposively) been rehabilitated. If that fails, and creepo cops a feel again, then its more the fault of the system.
I know its a bit altruistic but isnt that how lynch mobs form?
Sure, why not.
So do you agree with making sex offenders registries public too?
If the justice systems was really just, we’d be allowed to see what she looks like upon release, be told where she is going to be living and from there let the bloody chips fall where they might.
I’m sure someone is going to recognize the neanderthal browed killer sooner or later and refresh her mind of what she “let” happen with a little dose of – how does that feel beehotch (stabbing the optical cavity repeatedly).
