Janklow Leaves S.D. Jail After 100 Days

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Former congressman and governor Bill Janklow left jail Monday, 100 days after he began serving his sentence for an accident that killed a motorcyclist.

Judge Rodney Steele also fined Janklow $5,750, ordered him to pay $5,000 for his incarceration and put him on probation for three years, during which he won't be allowed to drive. The convictions will be erased from his record if he complies with terms of the sentence.

A couple of men on hand for the release said they don't think Janklow served enough time in jail.

"We're here to see the face Janklow's going to have after his 100 days. He's lucky. I just got out after eight months for DUI," said Mark Stricherz, 23. His friend Jason Hendricks called the sentence "a slap on the wrist."

Also on hand was Merlyn Schutterle, who has had run-ins with Janklow over the years and claims authorities unfairly accused him of being a child molester. Janklow had said an argument with Schutterle on Aug. 16 had upset him and was one of the reasons he didn't eat that day, leading to a diabetic reaction that Janklow said caused the crash.
