 The Case Against Karla
We know that Homolka is the most notorious female inmate in the country and we know that, thanks to a plea bargain that gave her a 12-year sentence for manslaughter, her crimes have never undergone the scrutiny of a public trial.
Homolka's story was that she and Bernardo planned a surreptitious sexual assault on her sister; that she forged a prescription for a sleeping medication known as Halcion to keep the teen from waking during the attack; and that she stole the bottle of halothane from the veterinary clinic where she worked.
Homolka's hand is said to be clearly seen holding the halothane-soaked cloth against her sister's nose and mouth, and Di Maio says the burn indicates that, at some point, she must have used it liberally.

 CANOE -- JAM! Movies: First look at Karla Homolka movie
Homolka is portrayed as part-vamp, part-victim by actress Laura Prepon.

The assertion -- that a captive Kristen strangled herself after Homolka hit her with a mallet as she tried to escape -- was in fact made by Bernardo's lawyer John Rosen during Bernardo's trial.

Bender seems to want to avoid the blame game by showing Homolka as a victim of Bernardo’s abusive behaviour (both physically and psychologically)–a game both Bernardo and Homolka played over the course of their trial, as they accused each other of being the real masterminds and perpetrators of their crimes.
At the same time, he shows Homolka as being subtly manipulative as she goes along with Bernardo’s plans, often using her obsessive desire to have Bernardo love her as a trigger for their horrible deeds.
The most terrifying scene has to be the set-up and consequent murder of Tammy Homolka, where the two protagonists drug their victim and videotape all their actions on home video–and Karla works best when this scene is repeated in flashbacks, giving the actions of Bernardo and Homolka a demonic after-taste.

 John Mark Karr, Marc Dutroux, Karla Homolka
Karla Leanne Homolka, also known as Karla Leanne Teale, (born May 4, 1970 in Port Credit, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian serial killer who attracted worldwide media attention when she was convicted of helping her husband, Paul Bernardo, rape and murder teenage girls, including her own sister Tammy Homolka.
One particularly controversial aspect of Homolka's plea deal was the Crown's belief that she was a "compliant victim," the justification of which came largely from an FBI document titled Compliant Victims of the Sexual Sadist.
In Canada, Homolka is under strict orders to maintain contact with police, provide a DNA sample, stay away from anyone under the age of 16, and stay away from the families of the victims.

What's even *more* mind-boggling is that there are still those who insist that Homolka was Bernardo's victim and was *forced* to participate in the murders of Kristen French, Leslie Mahaffey and Karla's own sister, Tammy Homolka.
Homolka clearly seeks out violent men and the idea of her walking the streets in full freedom is terrifying.
