Janklow Trial to Begin Monday

Two trials of interest are scheduled to begin Monday. The first is that of former S.D. Governor (currently a Republican Congressman) Bill Janklow on manslaughter and lesser charges arising from an accident in which he ran a stop sign and a motorcyclist died. If convicted of manslaughter, the penalty could be up to ten years in prison. He is expected to raise a "lingering medical condition" as a defense.

The second trial is that of the Cuban hijackers in Key West, see here.
