Thanks.

messiecake said:The Canadian courts put an unprecedented ban on the Bernardo/Homolka case.
ALL media coverage was banned and in fact people bringing US papers over discussing the case were stopped at the border etc
There are ,supposedly,details that still have not been released
enigma said:Was finally able to obtain a copy of "marriage made for murder" by Brian O'Neil and if you have a collection of Paul and Karla books I reccomend trying to get a copy. Also if you want a copy of "paul's case" by lynn crosbie my suggestion is to not waste your money. Other than "paul's case" my collection is complete, it includes both editions of "pact with the devil" and both editions of "karla's web" as well as the report of the plea agreement which was next to impossible for me to get.
sorry Messiecake, I guess I worded that incorrectly. The report was a copy of the psychological report along with the plea agreement. I can't remember the dr's name off the top of my head and since I just recently moved I haven't unpacked all of my books yet.messiecake said:I had no problem getting Karla's Web w/ the redacted agreement intact-why was it so hard for you??

TIA!
Thinkoflaura said:I am ashamed to say that I know next to nothing about this case. What details would be unreleased, if there was a trial and the two were/ are incarcerated? Do they have private trials and records in Canada?
I'm sorry, just learning.
Think of Laura
What did these 2 people do, and how is it that I read that she will soon be released?
Didn't they torture and kill her sister?
Help is appreciated.
Thinkoflaura said:Is anyone here familiar with the Alvin and Judith Ann Neelley case in GA/ AL/ TN from the early 80's?
Here's the link from what I just found out and read at Crime Library.
http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cach.../neelley+"NEELLEY,+JUDITH+ANN"&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
These two tortured, sexually abused and killed at least 3 people, Judith Neelley was the youngest woman in the US to receive the death penalty at the age of 18 in the state of Alabama.
However, just a few years ago, her sentence was commuted to LIP by the then- governor Fob James. What he didn't know was that the judiciary in AL did not allow for the decision of parole vs. life in prison without possibility of parole to be made.
Thus, Judith Ann Neelley is listed in the AL prison system as LP- Life sentence, eligible for parole. She has at least 3 children who were born in the 80's, a set of twins and another baby born in prison.
The final twist? She is or was engaged to be married to her Fort Payne, AL court- appointed attorney Robert French, Jr. at the time her sentence was commuted by the former governor.
Alvin, on the other hand, seems to have slipped into obscurity.. Judy was always the agressor.
This is a fascinating and disturbing case.
HesterMofet said:I'm also a bargain hunter, so the book I paid most for was the one written by Ted Bundy's ex-girlfriend called The Phantom Prince. I think I paid 30 for it a couple of years back and it was worth it. I could have kicked myself because 10 years ago I saw it in a used book store for 10 and thought that was too much! Little did I know what it was going for elsewhere!
I'll keep an eye out for that book and post here if I find it at a reasonable price! Good luck!
cami said:I've been trying to find the Phantom Prince for years in our library and in used book stores with no such luck!!!!!! Maybe it wasn't distributed in Canada though.
I paid a king's ransom in pounds sterling for a book on Rosemary and Fred West! England's other notorious serial killers. Read anything on them as yet?
HesterMofet said:Yes, I've read Happy Like Murderers by Gordon Burn. I thought it was very good, very detailed and well written. I have yet to get anything else on the Wests as, like you wrote, the books go for a mint on Ebay. I put in one bid and hope no one else is looking for it at the time, but I never seem to get lucky.
Keep an eye out on Ebay for The Phantom Prince as it crops up once in a while!
