Janklow seeks reversal of manslaughter conviction
by IconoclasT at 7:15 pm EDT, Aug 23, 2004 |
What do you call someone who utterly refuses to accept responsibility for their actions? Asshole? F*ckwad? Chromosonal Trash? August 13, 2004 Bill Janklow, the former South Dakota congressman convicted of speeding through a stop sign on a rural road and causing a deadly collision with a motorcyclist, filed paperwork this week to reverse his second-degree manslaughter charge or get a new trial. According to news stories out of South Dakota, lawyers for Janklow filed the motion Tuesday with the state Supreme Court, saying that Janklow did not get a fair trial. The case will not be heard by the Supreme Court justices, since Janklow had a hand in their appointments, but will be heard by a panel of five circuit court judges appointed by the Supreme Court. It could take several months before a decision is reached. |

Ever wonder if, just maybe, he doesn't care for prison?

He got 100 days and has already served it. He's a lifetime South Dakota politician (former Gov, former Atty General, former US Rep.)who doesn't want the normal laws of society to apply to him. |
