Janklow got what was coming to him. Stop whining about it.

Thank you providing yet another example of the dumbing down that is pervasive in our judicial system - it has absolutely nothing to do with the truth of law or making distinctions in punishment as they relate to the offense as long as he "got what was coming to him." Oh, and anyone who raises so much as the slightest concern over the pervasive stupidity in this country is "whining" about it. Yeah. That's how it all works...

The defense argued that Janklow, a diabetic, was suffering the effects of low blood sugar at the time of the crash because he had not eaten for 18 hours. Medical experts told prosecutors it is unusual for anyone to go that long without food — and highly dangerous for a diabetic who takes insulin.

Sounds to me like the jury wasn't dumb enough to buy into this weasel defense. Sounds like they did their job. Sounds like youre just whining about it.

You sound like the "dumbed down" one, standing up for this guy with such a disregard for others' lives, evidenced by 12 speeding tickets and near misses. Jury = smart. Verdict = correct and just. You = dumb.
