Rep. Bill Janklow (R), former governor of South Dakota, will return to Congress business as usual despite being charged with second-degree manslaughter.

Janklow "has no intention of resigning," his son told The Sioux Falls Argus Leader. Congress will convene tomorrow after a month-long recess.

Janklow, 63, was speeding when his car hit and killed a motorcyclist August 16, police say. He has been charged with second-degree manslaughter, a felony, and three misdemeanors, including driving above the speed limit. He faces 10 years in jail and a $10,000 fine if convicted of manslaughter.
