  • Senator who drove over motorcyclist loses appeal

    Anybody remember the state senator from South Dakota who blew through a stop sign at 65 in some rural intersection and ran right over a honda rider who had right-of-way, killing the man dead? Lowest form of sleeze is that he only got 100 days... but that wasn't good enough, appearantly -- now he wants the conviction overturned (denied):

    Here's the update:
    -------------------------
    From NCom Motorcycle News, November '05:

    JANKLOW CONVICTION UPHELD
    South Dakota's highest court has upheld Bill Janklow's conviction for a 2003 crash that killed a motorcyclist, rejecting the former congressman's argument that there wasn't enough evidence for a guilty verdict.

    Ruling unanimously, the state Supreme Court also found that Janklow had received a fair trial.

    Janklow, 65, was convicted of second-degree manslaughter and reckless driving for killing 55-year-old motorcyclist Randy Scott in August 2003 on a rural highway near Trent.

    Authorities said Janklow sped through a stop sign. Janklow has said he was in a diabetic stupor and remembers nothing about the crash.

    Janklow, a political power in South Dakota who also served four terms as governor, resigned from the House in January 2004, a month after his conviction. He completed a 100-day jail sentence but had hoped to use the appeal to clear the felony from his record. He is attempting to regain his license to practice law in the state.

    Its Bull Sh!t.

    He should be put in a intersection, and let a car hit him at that speed.

    I think it is time for him to retire into a little hole for the rest of his life.

          What angers me most about the situation is that he is saying he "was in a diabetic stupor and remembers nothing about the crash." That really pisses me off. If you have a medical condition, that in some way may prevent you from operating a motor vehicle in a safe manner AT ALL TIMES while you are driving, then you should have your license revoked. Period, end of story. If your privlige of having a license could come at the cost of anothers life, then sorry too bad. a license to drive is a privalige NOT a right.

            Yes he is a habitual speeder,and a scu@@ag,,,but I just have to say the man riding the bike was Randell Scott,and he was on a Harley not that the make of the bike is that important. And I believe Janklow got out of jail well under his 100 day sentence. And I heard Janklow is triing to get back into politics. go on the AMA website to And Justice for All campaign. It will explain everything about Janklow and all the other Fu@@ers like him.
            Like Randell it could be anyone of us.

                Man, I'd like to try and use that excuse the next time I get busted. I wonder how long it would take for me to get convicted.... about .054 seconds. Lack of personal responsibility, reckless stupidity and the belief that he deserves special treatment is so sickening.

                  I think Jackoff(sp?) should have a very nice visit from some v-twin riders of the Cali Family, what's their name? Hell's Angles? I think they should take this guy to the very intersection where he murdered Randell Scott, tie a rope around each wrist & ankle & then each rope to four different hogs going four different direction & give him a lesson in v-twin power & why it's wrong to talk bs to get out of murder charges & leave him there to die a hopefully slow death.

                  But other than that I have no misgivings about the guy.
                  I don't know how fast my bike goes, I've never stopped to find out.
