Karla Homolka...Should she have gotten more time than she did?

Question

Those who are familiar with the Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo case...do you think she should have gotten more time than she did? Do you feel that she was just as guilty as Paul?

Answer 1

OMG......I have just read the exerts given here...its absolutely horrifying.  No....12 years is not enough and she is as guilty as her husband.  She should have had life and life means life not 12 or 15 years.

Answer 2

The release of Karla Homolka from prison is a out rage.  Her "deal with the devil" - 12 years in prison in return for testifying against husband Paul Bernardo - has caused an outcry when the true scope of her involvement in murder became clear: not a helpless, manipulated victim, as it turned out, but a willing and enthusiastic participant in some appalling acts. Justice was not served

The nature of the murders, the videotapes, the fact that an attractive, seemingly normal young couple were responsible for causing so much pain - the story riveted our attention, even as we were repelled by its details. There were books, TV specials, a movie and too many front pages to count. And now, the story gets new life because she is out of prison after serving her 12-year sentence.

The questions linger. Is she still a danger? Where is she going to live? Will the media be able to report on her whereabouts? Will she be hounded for her crimes or be able to live a seemingly normal life?

For the public, and especially for the families of her victims, there's likely to be little satisfaction from learning any of the answers.
