Karla to blame: Bernardo Blindfold slip led Homolka to plot Mahaffy murder
By CP
TORONTO -- An "agitated" Paul Bernardo continues to insist it was his intention to set Ontario schoolgirl Leslie Mahaffy free and that Karla Homolka hatched a murder plot on her own, CBC's The National reported yesterday.
Bernardo spoke with Ontario Provincial Police Friday before discussing his claim with his lawyer, Tony Bryant, that a panicked Homolka attempted to murder Mahaffy when the young girl's blindfold fell off, Bryant said in an interview with the CBC.
Bryant said his client wants people to know it was his intention to set the rape victim free and that it was Homolka who panicked, despite her efforts to present herself as a submissive, battered woman acting on Bernardo's whims.
Bernardo, who insisted at his trial that Homolka choked Mahaffy and Kristen French to death, is barred from speaking publicly about the case.
"He wanted to get the message across that she actually tried to kill Leslie Mahaffy by means of an embolism, by injecting an air bubble into her bloodstream," Bryant said.
BLINDFOLD FELL OFF
"Because she was afraid that because the blindfold had fallen off, that she (Mahaffy) would be able to recognize Paul (Bernardo) and presumably herself."
Homolka agreed to the 12-year sentence for her role in the rape, torture and death of French and Mahaffy, as well as that of her own 15-year-old sister Tammy.
In exchange, she testified against ex-husband Bernardo, who was convicted in 1995 on two counts of first-degree murder and later declared a dangerous offender.
Bryant said Bernardo couldn't keep his silence anymore, as Homolka garners international media attention -- granting a one-on-one interview to tell her side of the story to CBC's French-language network on her first day of her freedom. after serving 12 years.
"He became agitated maybe as a result of seeing all the media attention over the last several months," Bryant told CBC.
Neither police nor the Ontario's Crown Attorney's office would comment, CBC reported.

Maybe he's just pissed that he is still in prison and will always be, while darling Karla get's to move on with her life. Hmmm,...he can't talk to the media but Karla can? Should have killed both of them. Then Karla wouldn't have a chance to reap the rewards of her crime (I'm sure she has been offered big bucks to tell her story,...boo hoo,.. "I was brainwashed, he would have killed me if I didn't go along with it,..I'm a victim",...) and he wouldn't get the chance to jerk off to the memories of being the Scarborough rapist and at least pulling his wang thinking of the torture/ vicious sex attacks/ murders of three young girls.
So sad for the families though that they have to relive this on a daily basis, but out of bad comes good, hopefully. Maybe the next time something like this happens, Canadians will be so outraged that a plea bargain won't even be an after thought.
