No excuses. He killed a motorist and sought to say that a medical condition provided a way out of accepting responsibility. I also enjoy creeping above the speed limit, but my concern is always for the other riders/drivers/pedestrians around me that do not accept the risk.
And to think...he got his license back to practice law. I say fine for that, he can now start paying penalties to the family of the deceased.
Don't forget...James Dean said before he died..."I know he sees us...doesn't he see us?" NO THEY DON'T.

"SIS" is a common way to address overcrowding of the criminal justice system. It's often part of a plea bargain to clear cases and save tax dollars, but can be applied after conviction at the sentencing phase, as in this instance.
The difference here is the notoriety, not the offense or sentence. We get a false impression from news reports which is all most of us see. In truth, the handwringing we see at 6:00 pm every night about how "If convicted, poor misunderstood little Johnny could receive life in prison" translates into minimum sentence, credit for time served, good time and basically - How fast can we get this guy back into the community.
What's really sad is when SIS is ignored when the offender is arrested on subsequent offenses while still under the original court's jurisdiction. It happens all the time.
We're on our own. The government (we) can't protect any individual from Janklow or his ilk.

Just goes to show, that there will always be 2 sets of rules. One set for all of us in the real world, then the higher than mighty political A_ _holes. And he still gets all his goverment benefits. :cus:

40 letters...pathetic (I never thought to do anything, obviously none of us did). Sad that the bigshots of the world watch out for each other...trust me if he was a "regular joe" he'd be sitting in the klink. And...lastly....
to quote the girlfriend...."Carrie Van ****, a friend of Scott's, said she hopes Janklow learned from his mistake.
"We have to be forgiving. It's not like he did it on purpose, like he woke up and said, 'I'm going to run a stop sign and kill somebody today,'" she said.
Scott is riding in Heaven....

Just to reiterate about our politicans political privileges... they even passed a law.. where as they can use info not available to the general public to buy either stock or land ..and its legal for them to profit greatly.. if we do so.. its insider trading and its a crime.. go figure..

I try to be fair. However, I have a son in the cemetary, and another who has been unable to breathe on his on for29 years, because of a criminal roaming the streets whose grandfather was the chairman of the democratic party in his state and prevented his license from being pulled.
My assumption, from what I remember about this legalized criminal, is that he will do this again. If so, I hope it is the biggest, heaviest, 18 wheeler on the road and not a bike, that is the other vehicle next time.
My feeling is that we should praise every heros in our government and cheer them on.
Every criminal in our government should be put away. It is, after all, OUR government. If we don't plan to monitor and influence our government, it will reach a level of corruptness that is a point of no return, like many countries we know of.
An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.
