KARLA HOMOLKA is a ticking time bomb who is likely to kill again, according to a recent risk assessment by the National Parole Board. "The commission believes if (Homolka) was freed before the end of the sentence ... we are convinced you would commit an infraction that would result in the death or grave harm of another person," the Dec. 12 assessment obtained by the Toronto Sun states.
Homolka, 34, waived her last chance to fight for early prison release and will serve out her entire sentence which ends in seven months. She'll be free July 5, 2005.
"I can't believe she'll get out when they know she will kill again. It's absolutely beyond belief that our government places in jeopardy the lives of innocent Canadians," said Joe Wamback of the Canadian Crime Victim Foundation.
"We have seen so many murders by released psychopaths in this country. Why do we continue to make the same mistakes?"
The board says that although Homolka interacts well with other inmates, she is secretive and hasn't co-operated with reform programs.
'SERIOUS CONCERN'
Homolka has also refused to stop her correspondence with a male inmate at another institution in jail for "serious domestic violence."
"Maintaining this relationship gives us serious concern. You have a higher risk of repeating your past behaviour with contact with this prisoner," the board wrote.
Homolka has been refused early release by the board on three prior occasions. Each time they said she would repeat her crimes because she hasn't taken the program for sexual delinquents seriously and "the criminal elements of your personality are still present."
Det. Wil Tonowski of the Edmonton police high-risk offender unit has met with Homolka and says she has expressed interest in living in Alberta upon her release.
"We are keeping an eye on her if she is considering coming to Alberta. If the parole board believes she is likely to cause death, then we may apply a Section 8-10 recognizance -- a public disclosure of where she lives," Tonowski said.
Homolka received her 12-year sentence July 5, 1993 after pleading guilty to two counts of manslaughter for her part in the sex slayings of Kristen French, 15, and Leslie Mahaffy, 14. She testified against her ex-husband Paul Bernardo, 40.
Hey, I've seen Dr. Phil rehabilitate people in an hour. All she needs is confrontation, tears, and a new car. She'll soon be ready for those PTA meetings.

I'll take your word that you're not a Liberal. It is easy for me to believe that you are a Tory. Way too easy!
But given your sympathies to the 'working' of the system, I still ask, "are you a public teat-sucker or not?"
Too bad they weren't tried in Texas, they'd both be dead by now.
Okay, I'll stand down. ;^)
It's hard to believe that within living memory, 1966 say, Canada was the freest country in the world.
