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. What we don’t have is a full accounting of her actions nor a sensible explanation for her involvement in the kidnapping and murder of Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy and in the rape and mysterious death of her sister Tammy.” Trish Wood – Elm Street – April 2001 Advertisement
