Ignorance is bliss.

This entire issue is something that has been ranted on about for years in all of Ontario, maybe the rest of North America doesn’t care but that doesn’t mean we don’t. Everyone else seemed to have moved on after the couple was put in jail for 3 counts of murder and multiple accounts of rape on Paul’s part. Karla only served 12 years and Paul is in for 25 to life. But recently there has been a tape let out of Paul being interviewed by detectives regarding another case, the death of Elizabeth Bain. The interview took place last June, but the judge allowed the tape to be released to the public. The Judge, David McCombs, says there is nothing wrong with releasing the tape because it does not contain any graphic content that can disturb the public, but that’s not what the problem is. Okay so the interview might be clean and whatnot but still, the media has totally hit the jackpot with this story, they already have a book and a movie, which is banned in Canada! By the way, I’ve seen the movie and it makes Karla look so innocent, of course she does claim to have Battered Wife Syndrome, whatever, we will never know the entire truth. Personally, I don’t think it necessary that we find it out anyway, there is no need for Ontarians to relive those dark days, and I feel really bad for the families of the two girls that were killed. Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French were both murdered by the couple and sexually abused, raped and kidnapped. This story gets worse, because the couple decided to video tape all the sex acts, but the court has those videotapes locked away. But who knows if 20 years from now those leaks might be coming around, nothing should be let out about this case unless the source is word of mouth, because we do not need to know the truth. News outlets have to apply to get the interview on tape but it can be found on websites like YouTube anyway. This tape shouldn’t have been available to the public since there is already enough hatred towards Paul, and the entire situation itself, I bet there is enough to cause a riot. CH NEWS conducted a poll and asked how the public felt about Paul’s attitude during the interview and as you can see it’s obvious that no one wants to hear from him.

Arrogant 33.19 %
Deceitful 31.65 %



That’s only a bit of the 31 minutes interview, even though it’s not x-rated, I still find it disturbing to hear from him in anyway. It was better off when the news covered him and the story; I don’t think releasing the tape was going to help anyone get over what he did. The province is still recovering.
