Anyone See The Janklow Story on "Today"?
He's considering using a medical defense for blowing a stop sign at 70 mph and killing that guy on the motorcycle. Says he was having a diabetic reaction. Also had footage of him leaning on his lawyer like he is a decrepit old man. Sickening. Another repuke unable to take responsibility for his actions.:puke:

1. But I believe diabetics can be found responsible for their actions while
driving. If he is claiming undiagnosed diabetes that is another matter.

2. Only if they don't let his history in...
This is not his first major DUI encounter, nor his first reckless driving...

Not to mention the fact he is a racist and a rapist--possibly even involved in her later murder. Google for details... It's all there.


Karma's a bitch, aint't it, Janklow? It's only a pity it couln't have happened while sparing the life of your latest victim...

3. Also interviewed a friend of his
Don't recall his name, but this idiot had nothing but praise for Janklow. When asked about all his previous driving infractions, he blew it off like it was no big deal and how everyone gets tickets, especially if you go back several years. Pitiful.

6. Janklow is full of it
He even joked about speeding during one of his state of the state speeches while governor.

9. He will go free, no question. Fake "trial" will clear him.
I thought I heard that they "sealed" all the information on his past driving offenses so prosecution can't refer to them. Plus he is a friend of Bush.
