I don't think I've met a single person, Liberal or otherwise, that doesn't think Karla is a high risk to re-offend. In Prison, her dating history has shown that she hasn't learned a darn thing - she's still going after men that fit the profile of her ex-husband Paul Bernardo who she claims was the instigator that lead to her rape, rape again and then murder her victims.
Senator's Biron's take on those relationships? The Judge is too old fashioned, and he doesn't remember what it was like to be 13 years old.
Biron said Quebec Court Judge Jean Beaulieu overreacted to Homolka's relationship with Jean-Paul Gerbet, pointing out that his expected extradition to France means it could never flourish.
"I think the judge, he's too old, he doesn't remember when he was 13 years old," Biron said in an interview yesterday.
"There's nothing to be really concerned about it."
Biron compared Homolka and Gerbet's relationship to the ones he fostered during his 15 years in boarding school with girls at a nearby convent.
"You know when you are in a prison and you have an occasion to see somebody of the opposite sex you create a romance ... and I think if it would have been anybody else, she would have done the same.
"You know you have to have hope, you have to try to dream, otherwise how can you stay in a prison?"
All righty then... If anyone seems to be confused it's Senator Biron. Karla Homolka is not 13 years old sir. I'm pretty sure she must be over double the age. Also if he is comparing a relationship to a hardened criminal to puppy love and can't see anything wrong with it... That's just one level of cuckoo I can't relate to.
I'd like to point out that his experiences in a boarding school, although interesting, are nothing like prison - or at least I'd hope they are nothing like prison... Because that means were running a Club Med for cons.
Biron said by using the section he called better suited to a "totalitarian regime," Beaulieu has painted Homolka as a great risk to re-offend and impeded her chances of finding a job.
"There's no proof at all that there's imminent danger," Biron said, adding he couldn't offer her a job at his ski resort or telephone call centre even if he wanted to because of the restrictions.
She raped, violated and murdered her victims which included her younger sister. There were no bounds for Karla Homolka. And the defense she held was that she would never have committed those crimes if it wasn't for her relationship with Paul Bernardo. Infact she would never re-offend if she didn't meet another Paul Bernardo the public was told. Well her new boyfriend just doesn't make all too confident.
Biron stressed he also sympathizes with the victims' families, saying they should benefit from publicly paid therapy as Homolka will for the next year.
The victim's families should want true justice. True justice is making sure that it can never happen again. We shouldn't be feeling sympathy for the families, or the accuser, and yet forget the sympathy we should be feeling to the potential future victims. Experts are not sure if Karla is a psychopath or not. What is the harm of providing her with more therapy by keeping her in prison until they know for sure?
That's what's important Senator Biron... Not free time with a shrink.
