I wouldn't want to judge her now, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of evidence to indicate she has changed. Even if there was, what's the risk of her falling of the wagon like any other abuser?

The public got a raw deal the first time around when Homolka got a light sentence. Now we reap what we sow. 12 years ago my girls were toddlers, now they're not. Whether she's a risk to reoffend or not, and I can't believe she's not, there's no comfort for parents like me. The only ones who thought the "deal with the devil" was good in the first place were the prosecutors and maybe Homolka herself. I recall that public sentiment at the time was that she and her mate hadn't a hope. Now folks are saying "I told you so".

My guess is she's learned a few things about evading the law but hasn't lost any of her primal urges to abuse and assault. She could become like that guy out west who managed to assault and kill dozens of prostitutes before being caught, and we could be calling this dance all over again in a few years.

The conditions which created Homolka still exist in society, and another like her could be spawned. Whether the legal system has learned any lessons remain to be seen.

Things like this happen because there are always extremes to all things and she was/is an extreme which never reformed and by chance found a place to nurture her pathology.

I bet the victims families weren't looking forward to this time in history, but the question that I can't fathom is how could she make her own sister a victim? Karla apparently knew no limit to her selfish desires and couldn't even stop at loved ones...loved ones, there's a description.

There is no spiritual explanation or reason other than a failure to control, educate, prevent, or reform before the fact of her crimes. Did/does she have a spiritual life at all?

I don't trust her not to reoffend. God help the next victim.

Peace, Mooh.
