Because Homolka had known about her husband’s crimes and played some role in them, prosecutors could not offer her full immunity. But they struck a plea bargain in which she agreed to testify against Bernardo in exchange for a light sentence. In assessing her culpability, Canadian investigators were reportedly influenced by a paper, written by Roy Hazelwood, an F.B.I. profiler, called “Compliant Victims of the Sexual Sadist.” It was only after Homolka’s deal was in place that she provided a fuller confession, explaining that she had not merely been a witness to Bernardo’s crimes but an active participant as well. Home videos that showed Homolka’s role in the sexual assaults to be anything but forced surfaced not long afterward. And it ultimately emerged that Tammy’s death was not an accident: Homolka had drugged her sister with an animal tranquilizer that she had stolen from work, then she and Bernardo had raped her.
由于霍穆尔卡目击了自己丈夫的暴行并参与了犯罪,检察人员无法认定她无罪,但是检察人员保证,只要卡拉愿意出庭担任她丈夫的污点证人,就可以减轻量刑。据称加拿大司法机关在量刑时参考了FBI分析员罗伊·哈兹伍德的一篇题为《性虐待中顺从的受害者》的报告。然而,一切尘埃落定之后,卡拉公开承认了自己的全部罪行。她并不仅仅是丈夫暴力胁迫的顺从受害者,而是整场犯罪的积极参与者。后来的家庭录像清楚地反映出了卡拉在性暴力中的角色,甚至还清楚地表明,塔米的死并非意外——卡拉从诊所窃得兽用镇定剂,向自己的妹妹下毒,随后她和她的丈夫,一起强奸了塔米。
