Karla victim claims 'coverup' (Canada: more dirt on liberal bureaucrats' deal with sex killer)

Comment: Justice Galligan received his review directive from "red-Charlie" Harnick - the Harris government's first Attorney General and one of the earliest principal traitors to Ontario's conservative 'Common Sense Revolution'.

Harnick, because he sympathized with and/or lacked the political courage to clean-out the Marian Boyd protégés at the AG's Office who had drafted the infamous 'Deal With The Devil', made certain that Justice Galligan's terms of reference were so incredibly narrow that a full whitewash of the active betrayal of the public trust by 'the Boyd gang' and its related politically correct gender-bigotry was a virtual certainty.

While, upon the Harris government's election, many conservatives hopefully anticipated a thorough house-cleaning at what is still Ontario's most openly corrupt Ministry, the writing was on the wall when Harnick's first and virtually only major policy move was the appointment of his fellow reddest-Tory and long-time homosexual activist Keith Norton to head-up the Province's - alleged - Human Rights Commission.

"Face of True Evil"
PING!

[Heartofsong83]

Some of these Fiberals probably want her and Paul completely free; they love criminals while despise victims. That's because THEY ARE CRIMINALS!!!!

[Bigh4u2]

" If Jane Doe's assertion is correct, Galligan's report could be viewed as fundamentally flawed. "

Fundamentally flawed??

It would be outright lies!

[Squawk 8888]

I think we FReepers should start a trust fund to pay for a private prosecution. That would make the whole plea bargain issue moot because a private lawyer would not be bound by any deals made by the Crown.

Good grief! I became aware of this terrible couple during an episode of "American Justice" (I think it was the show). The show indicated that the woman was just as guilty as her killer husband.

[GMMAC]

At least equally guilty and possibly even more so - at his trial, Bernardo claimed Karla did the actual killings.
Also, it's been widely reported that on their sex videos with their victims - which the public wasn't allowed to see - that evil Karla, the feminist-claimed supposed additional "victim" - was far away and the much more "enthusiastic" participant of the two!

Darling Karla - the real-world face of Canadian Values.

[Calico Cat]

Lovely Karla! She helped her husband to kidnap, rape and kill two girls--and also helped him to rape her SISTER, who died after the chloroform Karla used on her caused her to choke on her own vomit.

This piece of garbage has said that she wants to move to the States, because she's just too notorious in Canada, and will have a difficult time fitting in there.

Poor girl!

[fanfan]

Can she be criminally charged by private citizens?

Maybe a civil case, but criminal?

[GMMAC]

[Squawk 8888]

Yes. One little-known and rarely used aspect of criminal law in Canada is that any private citizen can prosecute a criminal case. It's considered a final resort in the event that the Crown shows no interest.

[Squawk 8888]

This piece of garbage has said that she wants to move to the States

She can say it until she turns blue in the face but that doesn't change the fact that they can (and should) turn her back at the border.

[fanfan]

Well, knock my socks off!

How much would it cost?

[Squawk 8888]

I really have no idea what the dollar amount would be, but as a minimum you'd need a lawyer to present the case. Count on needing a private investigator to do some legwork gathering evidence and hope that the politicians and/or Crown don't try to silence the cops who did the original investigation.

[fanfan]

hope that the politicians and/or Crown don't try to silence the cops who did the original investigation.

Like the current cheif of police in Ottawa, Vince Bevan?

No one is trying to silence these people. they silence themselves.

For power.

These are the cops

Few people in a Pact with the Devil emerge worse than Inspector Vince Bevan, head of the Green Ribbon Task Force that investigated the deaths of abducted teens Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy.

Williams states flatly that Bevan's ineptitude and hubris were the real reasons Homolka received a lenient plea-bargain deal in exchange for testifying against her husband, Paul Bernardo, and not a lack of evidence.
"The deal with Karla was precipitated by Vince Bevan so that he could participate in the arrest of Paul Bernardo and execute his own search warrant on their matrimonial home." (The Toronto Police already had DNA evidence fingering Bernardo as the "Scarborough Rapist"; Bevan, Williams argues, wanted to keep him in his own Niagara-region jurisdiction to face murder charges first.)

Williams also contends that Bevan's "unusual and arguably inappropriate relationship" with the owners of the Port Dalhousie home rented by Homolka and Bernardo led him to withhold "the internal devastation another police force ... would have invariably unleashed on the interior of the house."
And indeed, after 69 days, the search failed to discover trace vomit from French on a carpet or the videotapes Homolka and Bernardo had made of their brutal attacks and hidden in an upstairs bathroom."

This will make you ill.

"Can she be criminally charged by private citizens?
Maybe a civil case, but criminal?"

Theoretically, it's possible but the simplest course of action would be for "Jane Doe" - and/or the second victim who has also now come forward with essentially the same story - to go before a Justice of the Peace offering up her (their) private information. It would then be up to the JP to lay and subsequently the local Crown's Office to prosecute a charge/charges but, especially as it's now likely the press would be called in, it's hard to see either daring not to.

If the JP played ball, but the Crown refused - which regularly occurs if the complainant doesn't meet the Crown's politically correct criteria (e.g. assaulted husbands) - then "Jane Doe" is free to prosecute it herself or by utilizing her own counsel.
And imagine the line-up of lawyers who'd be willing to perform this task for her on a pro bono basis simply to get the publicity and to get their names on the resulting case law!
I'm betting that, as both victims have now had the courage to go to the press, one or both will now go further and the poop's about to hit both Karla's and the injustice system's spinning blades!

[Feiny]

Not that I am blaming the victim, but what was she doing spending the night at this couples house....twice? She was obvioulsy drinking & possibly doing drugs as she thought she had a hangover....why was she partying with an adult couple?

[GMMAC]

As a start, given that she was a drugged minor and they were both supposed "adults", your question seemingly isn't too far removed from asking a WW2-era European Jew: "so, what were you doing hanging around that concentration camp anyway?"
... no offense intended but ...
