My doctorate is in theology, with a secondary in psychology. My wife is a psychologist. We strongly disagree with your statement that individuals are born psychopaths.

The bitch only getting twelve years for the crimes she committed is a traversty.

Makes me sick.

Upon hearing that she had forgiven herself more that made up for it though.

For the sacrifice she made in "forgiving" herself, they should award her the Victoria Cross and name a National hoilday after her.

I know you didn't ask me, but you be the judge... I don't think she is the "victim" that at least one person on this thread makes her out to be

http://www.940news.com/nouvelles.php?cat=9&id=n0704133A

Homolka said she often cries and is filled with remorse for her black past with ex-husband Paul Bernardo, with whom she participated in the rape, torture and murder of two Ontario schoolgirls, as well as the drug-rape death of Homolka's own 15-year-old sister Tammy.

n sentencing Homolka, the court also took into consideration her role in the 1990 death of her 15-year-old sister Tammy, who died on Christmas Eve after Homolka held a drug-soaked cloth over her face so Bernardo could rape her.

Homolka portrayed herself to authorities as a victim, a timorous, abused wife forced by the monster she'd married to aid and abet his abhorrent sex-slave schemes, including the kidnapping, rape and torture of French and Mahaffy.

But ghastly videotapes documenting the couple's crimes, which were shown to jurors at Bernardo's 1995 trial, depicted Homolka more as an accomplice than a victim, prompting angry critics to accuse Crown authorities of making a "deal with the devil."

"..... that authorities knew where she was and could keep her under surveillance "

Bullshit Homolka, who says she fears for her life outside the safety of the prison walls, appeared to have largely succeeded in getting released in relative obscurity.

She should but she will have more of a chance that either of her victims had.

Such crap as this is why child molestors keep killing children. If one bothers to check their records, one will discover that thet they have, to a person, been convicted and sentenced to prison terms,that if they were still serving, they would have been incarcerated when the new crime was committed.

The most major and authoritative book on the subject is Robert Hare's "Without Conscience". You probably ought to buy a copy and read it before you embarass yourself any further.

It turns out that psychopaths have EEG characteristics which are at variance from those or normal people. In fact Hare mentions submitting a research paper to a scientific journal only to have it rejected because the editors assumed that a number of EEG charts (for psychopaths) contained in the paper could not have been produced by real people.

I don't believe that it's possible to brainwash a decent human being into raping and murdering their own little sister.

There is no OTHER theory of behavior which explains that one.

Was Susan Smith brainwashed?

I second that opinion.

Karla petitioned the court twice for a court-ordered media blackout on her post-prison life and then left prison yesterday and went straight to TV studio.>
