I remember this case, the husband and wife serial killer team.

They let her out?

After what she did to her little sister?

Insane.

They had no choice. She served her full sentence.

That she served the whole sentence is in itself unusual in the context of the Canadian correctional system.

This is what is infuriating Canadians.

This woman made a deal to turn Crown's Evidence against her husband in return for a 12 year sentence.

The NDP government of the time had an ideological stance that viewed women accomplices in crime as being victims who were perpetrators only by reason that they were acting under duress.

Bernardo's lawyer called it the "deal with the devil", a phrase that has reverberated for the past twelve years.

Only after the deal was made did a video tape become available that showed her to be an enthusiastic participant, perhaps instigator, of torture and murder.

Yet the deal was not repudiated.

yeah, but what I find mind boggling is that her family took her in after what she did to the sister, killed her that is, for any who do not know.

I only have one kid, but if I had more and one killed another the killer would NOT be permitted in my home again. Not ever, not for a NY minute. Live on the street, and die in the gutter insofar as I'd be concerned.
