Every country has its justice system failures...those moments where the pursuit of a conviction outruns the full truth.Here in Canada, that moment has a name:Karla HomolkaHomolka and her husband, Paul Bernardo, were a seemingly normal happy young couple, a facade that made it much harder for the public to accept that they were at the centre of one of the most disturbing criminal cases in Canadian history.But as horrific & grotesque as their crimes were, the real scandal came later when evidence was revealed that portrayed Karla Homolka as less of an innocent victim, manipulated by an abusive spouse and more as an active and willing participant.We're digging into the story of "the Ken & Barbie killers" and the legal system forced to make a difficult choice in an episode I'm calling The Deal With The Devil: The Karla Homolka Plea Bargain************Canadian Scandal is researched, written, edited, and narrated by Jeff Walker featuring music & sound effects licensed through Soundstripe.Follow us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and anywhere else you listen to podcasts or listen at WalkerNewMedia.com/ShadyCanadaSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/canadian-scandal-true-crimes-and-dirty-secrets-from-the-great-wh/donations
