Karla Homolka to be released July 5th

after she's freed from the federal institution in Joliette, Que.

Anybody heard what happened in court today?

It's believed Homolka may choose to settle in Montreal after learning to speak French while in prison and earning a psychology degree by long-distance education from Queen's Univ.

"If a person doesn't think that there is a God to be accountable to, then what's the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges? That's how I thought anyway. I always believed the theory of evolution as truth, that we all came from slime. When we died, you know , that was it, there is nothing..."

The question of whether a man views his neighbor as a fellow child of God or as a meat byproduct of random processes, simply has to affect human relationships.

If granted parole at the first opportunity, Gerbet could be released in 2008.

You have to feel better about Harriette Lector dating a guy who's into murdering girlfriends than somebody else who's into murdering young girls...

Bernardo's serving a life sentence for first degree murder at maximum security Kingston Penitentiary. I haven't heard much about him for a few years, but the last I did hear, he was serving his time in admin. segregation, for his own safety, I guess.

A conviction for first degree murder, in Canada, carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment, with no eligibility for parole for 25 years. They were convicted in '93, I think, so he'll be eligible for parole in another 13 years. I'm sure we'll hear a great hue and cry as that date approaches.

If the court really wanted to be certain that Bernardo would be jailed for life under due process of law, they should have tried him on all the Scarborough rapes (with no plea bargains). For each conviction the judge could have sentenced him to maximum consecutive sentences with no parole until half of each sentence was served. If this didn't add up to more than 100 years of consecutive sentencing without parole, then the court could have added similar sentencing on each of the other crimes that Bernardo had already been convicted of, relative and in addition to the murders of Leslie MaHaffy and Kristen French, which he hadn't been sentenced for then. This cumulative sentencing would have ensured that he would have been put away for the rest of his natural life. The way they did it did not.

I applaud your good manners and perspicacity in attempting a rational debate with Gunga Din, Boss, but i personally consider it a futile effort on your part . . .

A Quebec judge has granted Ontario's request for a legal leash on Karla Homolka. It came after a two day hearing pending her release next month.

What happened to the **** that did the deeds?

Bernardo likely will spend the rest of his life in prison, ineligible for parole. That label was imposed on top of two 25-year terms he is serving after being convicted on Sept. 1 of first-degree murder in the slayings of French and Mahaffy. He also admitted to the sexual assaults of at least 14 other young women in southern Ontario between 1987 and 1991

The judge's decision to throw away the key ended a long and painful ordeal. The sensational four-month trial included Bernardo's homemade videos depicting the rapes of French and Mahaffy, as well as testimony from his ex-wife and accomplice, Karla Homolka, 25, who is serving concurrent 12-year terms for manslaughter. The Crown applied to have Bernardo declared a dangerous offender rather than hold a lengthy trial on 32 other charges he faced relating to a series of rapes that took place primarily in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough. He was also charged with manslaughter in the death of 15-year-old Tammy Homolka, who choked on her vomit on Dec. 24, 1990, after being drugged and raped by Bernardo and her sister Karla.
