Board recommends Janklow regain law license Associated Press August 2, 2005 JANKLOW0803

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The State Bar's Disciplinary Board has recommended that former South Dakota Gov. and U.S. Rep. Bill Janklow should regain his license to practice law next February.

If the state Supreme Court accepts that recommendation, it would mean Janklow would be reinstated to practice law about a year before his probation ends for second-degree manslaughter and other convictions related to an August 2003 crash that killed a motorcycle driver from Minnesota.

The state's highest court will have the final say on when Janklow can resume the practice of law, but it has not yet set a hearing date in the case.

Janklow's law license was automatically suspended after he was convicted of second-degree manslaughter for killing Randy Scott, 55, of Hardwick, Minn. Scott's motorcycle collided with a car Janklow was driving near Trent.

Janklow also was convicted of speeding, running a stop sign and reckless driving.

A circuit judge gave Janklow a suspended imposition of sentence, which means the manslaughter conviction will be erased if he complies with all terms of his three-year probation. He also served 100 days in jail.

Janklow is seeking to have his law license reinstated.

The Disciplinary Board said Janklow is remorseful for the fatal crash and would not present a danger to clients if he resumed practicing law.

'Respondent's convictions do not reflect adversely on his fitness to practice law, his honesty, or trustworthiness,'' the Disciplinary Board wrote in its recommendations to the Supreme Court.

The five members of the high court have disqualified themselves from hearing the case due to their relationships with the former governor, and five circuit judges have been appointed to serve as substitute justices in Janklow's case.

That is apalling, especially given that drunk sob's record of bad driving. He goes out gets drunk (again) kills someone and has the charge erased from his record. The dead guys life is apparently worth very little in South Dakota. Next this clown gets to practice law again. I have an idea though. A condition of renewing his license should be that he maintain an office door neon sign displaying his current status: DRUNK in red or SOBER in green.

It shows there are two standards of justice: An easy one for those who can buy enough people and the other tougher standard for the rest of us.

True, there are two standards - you either get lucky with a sympathetic judge, or you don't. The news reports frequently about drunk drivers comitting multiple acts of dwi. Dozens even. Receiving nothing but a slap on the hand. These people are not rich. It has nothing to do with money. It's all about the liberal courts.

What's disgusting is that showing remorse gets you a lighter sentence. 'Aw gee, I'm really REALLY sorry I drank that fifth of Old Granddad <sob> and then plowed into that bus-stop full of people. I'm going to AA and <sob> I'm SO sorry I did that I just want to DIE <sniff>.'

When they kill somebody? Bullshit.

Liar. It's because he was in Congress. Had he been a Democrat, he would have likely gotten the same treatment. So take your partisan hatred and stick it somewhere.

Which, along with the liberal media, is a fiction created by paranoid conservatives.

The only thing even remotely resembling a 'liberal media' is left-leaning websites and blogs. The MSM is almost 100% conservative.
