Homolka lawyers to fight again for media ban
Karla Homolka's lawyers will be back in court Monday seeking another injunction -- this one calling on a media gag and for more protection following her imminent release from prison.

A Quebec Superior Court judge dismissed similar requests by Homolka's lawyers on Wednesday.

"Now she wants protection from Montreal police or perhaps another agency," said CTV's Paul Bliss, reporting from outside the penitentiary in Ste-Anne-des-Plaines.

"Clearly, they're still concerned about her safety, and they want someone to provide her with security so she could live safely and secretly."

Quebec police have already refused special protection for Homolka. So her lawyers, in their latest legal manouevre, are filing an interlocutory injunction.

"And that is issued on the basis not only of the applicant's evidence, but also on the basis of the defendant's evidence," explained media lawyer Mark Bantey, who's representing several media outlets in a fight against such an injunction. Source.
