What was most disgusting about the whole deal is that the Canadian authorities WERE NOT compelled by law to give Karla Homolka this sentence.

She lied to the police during her testimony in hundreds of particulars and she failed to disclose evidence she knew existed.

According to her plea agreement, false testimony and withholding evidence were grounds for voiding her plea.

In addition to this, the incompetent local police failed to adequately search the marital home - the videotape evidence was found only after she made her plea, even though the videotapes were hidden in her basement.

If the police had searched her home thoroughly the day she was arrested they would never had any use for a plea agreement.

And again, they could easily have voided the plea agreemnt after the fact and given her life.

the Canadian justice system failed the public in various ways in this case and continues to do so.
