Report: Janklow Going 70 - 75 Mph at Crash

Rep. Bill Janklow was driving 70-75 mph when he ran a stop sign and collided with a motorcycle, according to an accident report released Wednesday by the South Dakota Highway Patrol.

The speed limit on the road is 55 mph.

The report increases the likelihood of prosecutors bringing criminal charges against the former four-term governor, who has exerted enormous political power in South Dakota politics for nearly 30 years.

Sounds like manslaughter to me. Details here from the AP.
