As the Canadia justice system adopts more and more of the trappings of
the U.S. justice system (though Canada has pioneered the use of
blanket media censorship), I expect the outcome will be as follows:

* For the crime of passing on "The Washington Post"'s account, Gordon
Domm will spend 5 years in prison.

* For the (alleged) crime of abducting, torturing, murdering, and the
devouring <CENSORED UPON ENTERING KANADA>, Paul Teale will be found
NOT GUILTY by reason of too much publicity. 

Paul Teale will then sell his story to Hollywood, with Tanya Harding
playing the role of Karla. Karla will be busy doing the talk show
circuit, explaining to Oprah, Phil, Sally, and Yolanda how her
childhood forced her into cannibalism.

Don't you just love the spread of American culture?

This whole circus would've ended had Karla and Paul simply had a
suitably fast trial, in which the evidence was presented, the
testimony heard, and a verdict rendered. Then a quick execution of
sentence.

(I'm a libertarian, by the way. Most so-called crimes are not crimes.
But the acts that _are_ crimes can and should be dealt with quickly
and harshly. There's no reason a murder trial should take two years of
hemming and hawing and media blackouts....)
