The Fifth Estate Season 23 Episodes

Episode 1

Karla Homolka

'Karla Homolka,' first aired by the fifth estate in November of 1997, is a searing investigation into a plea bargain - later dubbed 'the deal with the devil - struck between Ontario Crown attorneys and Karla Homolka, who was ultimately convicted of manslaughter in one of Canada's most notorious and grisly murder cases. In 1995, Homolka's former husband Paul Bernardo was convicted of the kidnap, rape and murder of Ontario teenagers Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy and sentenced to at least 25 years in prison. Bernardo was classified as a 'dangerous offender,' meaning it is unlikely he will ever be set free.
