Records unsealed Tuesday indicate Janklow was ticketed for speeding 12 times and involved in seven accidents since 1990, not including the August crash.
In two of the accidents, as well as in the Trent crash, Janklow reported seeing vehicles no one else saw.
Janklow was governor when three of the accidents occurred. The other accidents and the speeding violations occurred before he took office as governor for a third term in 1995.
A misdemeanor conviction would not affect Janklow's ability to serve in Congress. But the House ethics committee would automatically investigate Janklow if he is convicted of a felony.
INVESTIGATE? If he won't quit they should IMPEACH. Yeah, even if he IS a Pubbie.
In a sworn statement filed Monday, Janklow, 64, says he "knew this intersection very well and had traveled through the intersection occasionally for at least the last 20 years." He also says the intersection had stop signs for north-south traffic. Janklow was traveling south that day.
