Lid. - Port Perry, Ont. Editorial Comment The second Bernardo trial The successful prosecution of Paul Bernardo in his double murder trial has by no means brought an end to the strange and horrible saga. Now the attention of media, investigators and, potentially, prosecutors will turn toward the people who were responsible for bringing the St. Catherines man and his accomplice, Karla Homolka, to justice. At issue will be a number of painful topics: Police bungling in the days before and after the abduction and murders of two young girls, the restrictions placed on the media by courts during proceedings prior to the Bernardo trial, the actions of a lawyer who possessed and yet failed to turn over to investigators the tapes made during the assaults, and, particularly, the deal cut with Karla Homolka, Bernardo's partner in crime and eventual accuser. The public is right to feel and express outrage over the plea bargain and comparatively light sentence handed Homolka for her role in the torture and murder of the victims in the case. There have been repeated claims -- and not just by the defence team -- that she has lied about her involvement in the crimes from the start, and continued to do so while testifying at the highly-publicized trial. We see justice run off the rails in the Homolka deal, and want it righted. What remains to be seen is whether the deal can be revisited, or more charges, for assaults not covered in her initial statements, can be laid. There is already a campaign to discredit police and court officers for their handling of the case, and it will continue as more facts come to light. It will be a painful but useful exercise. Now, more than ever, we need to know the whole story behind the case. ITS BACKTOSHOOL'Z"" on rue wcavens SAKE GO BACK 10 BED/-i1%s )/ MORNING...

On errands to my supermarkets, to the pub- lic library, bank and book store - plus random encounters on the street and a few random rings of door bells - I have found the reaction to the petition overwhelming. In a few hours I obtained more than 200 signatures. And this time includes sometimes prolonged conversa- MORNING tions on the subject with persons just wanting 4:30 IN THE to let off steam. I doubt I had as many as 10 refusals. sk sk sk ok 3k 2 ok ok de ok oe ok of dk ok The Bernardo-Homolka trials have chilled us with horror and revulsion. In prison, Homolka studies for a college degree. When she has served her term and is released, she will be better educated but will remain a moral cripple, still young enough to bear children. Whenever Bernardo is released, he will be cap- able of fathering children. Please Turn to Page 7 REMEMBER 45 YEARS AGO Thursday, September 7, 1950 Principal of Port Perry High School, Mr. J. L.
