Well, today's the day she might walk. And she's been yanking away at our great Canadian heartstrings because, apparently, we've done nothing to "safeguard her security".

"As far as I know, nothing has been done to safeguard my security after my release from prison, and the thought of being relentlessly pursued, hunted down and followed when I won't have any protection makes me fear for my life," she wrote.

"I believe some people wish to do the public a favour by killing me"...

In her affidavit, Homolka said the crimes she committed generated feelings of hate, horror, anger and vengeance, and media coverage has fed those sentiments.

"These feelings have been fed and made worse over the years by the national and international press as well as internet sites around the world."

She said she wants to get on with court-ordered therapy and that that would be impossible if she has to spend the rest of her life managing what she calls the "media circus".

Interesting .... but I refreshed this thread not to play "reporter" for you all (I'm sure you don't need it!), but to say that if you have any opinions, grievances etc you'd like to express about this, please post them here, on the CBC's "viewpoint and analysis" page rather than at the free-for-all "Reopen the Deal with the Devil" link above.

Your comments are more likely to reach a sober, intelligent audience that way. If I could delete the offensive quotes I posted from the other site, I would.   :-(    Wouldja please, JoeClones???

And for GUEST Re:Cindy Halliday ... If it's any consolation, I spoke with a few locals "in the know" last night about Cindy. They told me the cops do know who her killer is, and that he'll never be found - because he is dead.

Please log in and PM me if you want to hear the whole (disgusting) story. I don't know whether I believe it or not, but it DOES, most unfortunately, ring true.
