Former South Dakota Congressman and governor Bill Janklow (R) isn't giving up his bid to get out of jail early pending an appeal of his felony manslaughter conviction.
After being rebuffed by a judge, Janklow is asking the state Supreme Court, whose members he appointed, to let him out of jail. He has already asked the court to overturn his guilty conviction for the death of motorcyclist Randy Scott last August.
Janklow was sentenced to 100 days in jail, after which the conviction would go away.
