Janklow's Request for New Trial Rejected
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- The judge handling former Rep. Bill Janklow's manslaughter case has rejected his request for a new trial, according to a court order filed Wednesday.

It was the latest refusal from Judge Rodney Steele to pleas from the former Republican governor and congressman to overturn the case.

snip........

Janklow, 64, started serving a 100-day jail sentence Feb. 7 for the Aug. 16 accident that killed a motorcyclist.

The guy gets a 100 days for killing someone and he wants a retrial? Only a Republican would be so fucking sickening.

:puke:

1. He wants a RETRIAL!!!?????


Are you kidding me?!!

He should thank his lucky stars that he didn't get 7-10 years! That is the standard sentence for that crime where he was prosecuted. Most other people were given at least a few years...

What an arrogant piece of garbage. If I were the victim's family, I would be enraged.

3. that is my thought exactly ...
what he lacks in compassion he makes up for in arrogance. I hope someone made him his bitch .. I really do. And don't flame me cuz I want harm to come to him, I'm normally very even tempered, but this pewk really gets to me.

5. Hang on....
You mean he's not asking for a fair sentence? Like maybe 10 years without parole?

6. Why not give him a new trial?
Maybe he would get a real life sentence, not 100 days. Ya rolls tha dice,....
