Actually, according to the interviews of defense witnesses, the arresting officer, and medical staff, the prosecutor was able to prove that Janklow actually had eaten earlier in the day, tried to lie to get out of responsibility, and that the accident was due to him speeding (even though the jury was not allowed to know about his 12 earlier citations for speeding).
