Monday, May 17, 2004

Bill Janklow, former South Dakota governor and Congressman, is being released from jail today after serving 100 days for second-degree manslaughter and three misdemeanors.

Janklow was found guilty in connection with an August 16, 2003, car accident that killed Randy Scott, a motorcyclist. Janklow was speeding when he hit Scott.

During his trial, Janklow maintained that his diabetes condition dulled his senses. He is still trying to overturn his conviction.
