    This bitch is as dangerous now as she was back then....all she's lacking is an opportunity.

    I don't understand. What does a "pardon" mean? She served 12 years, right? Do they mean she will apply for her criminal record to be shredded, so she has done nothing wrong, but she was in jail for 12 years??

    The proposed bill would prevent people convicted of certain crimes from applying for a pardon for a specified number of years, Toews said. It would also give the National Parole Board discretion to deny a pardon request.


    ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL

    Aren't these are the same maroons who keep letting dangerous offenders out early?


    So, why in God's name would they bother denying a pardon request when they've already likely let the person out of prison early?

    With a pardon, she would have no longer have to put, on her job applications under the criminal record section, "tortured, raped and murdered young girls." 'Cause it doesn't look good in the interview.

    Virtually everyone who applies is granted the pardon, as I understand it. Maybe Eyebrock could comment on that statistic. This is something that's needed redress for sometime. It's nice to see Karla-Karla get to be the asshole who initiated the change and got to keep her record ad infinitum.

    She's the perfect poster child for Pardon Reform.

    Would this apply to the Airforce Colonel in Ottawa what ever his name is who raped and killed a number of women?

    Unless they change it. If you'll remember, there was a hockey coach not so long ago that was a repeatedly convicted sex offender, and he got one.

    Same BS. It needs to stop immediately.

    Well the idea is that once you serve your sentence, justice is served. It's not constitutional to continue to punish you forever if you've served your time already.

    ... BUT this is a special case. Her plea bargain (and reduced sentence) was based on lies and they were afraid to recind it because of what it might have meant to Paul's trial. Her Lawyer should be in jail for aiding and abedding a criminal. But that aside she obviously got a reduced sentence when she should have been in jail forever... hence the bill to make her ineligible for a pardon.

    There's nothing unconstitutional in "punishing forever". Life sentences, Dangerous Offender status and sex offender registries are perfectly constitutional. Restricting ex-cons' rights isn't double jeopardy, if that's what you're suggesting. It's PART of the sentence to have a criminal record. It's not an extra punishment that's tacked on later.

    Aiding and Abetting? No. Obstructing justice, yes.
