In fact,it wasn't her lawyer who kept the tapes...it was Bernardo's lawyer,Ken Murray,who held on to the tapes....after retrieving them on Bernardo's instructions....and not found by the intensive police search of their property.
There's no question that she's a very bright woman...and now,of course,afforded an upgraded education...she has no conscience.
She should have been declared a "dangerous offender"...and then would have been assigned to a bed in a psychiatric hospital,indefinitely.
The Crown in Ontario lost sight of the bigger picture...and they had ample evidence that her part in the slayings was equal to that of Bernardo.But,they cut a deal and now have to live with it.
I must say I think the media is overplaying the whole thing....far too much exposure,far too many nutty phone-in shows(with posse-like callers telling just how they'd handle her...sick stuff).
