The Pierre Capital Journal reported yesterday that pro-life Republican former legislator Ted Klaudt is appealing his criminal convictions for raping his foster daughters.

Apparently he’s sorry—but not THAT sorry.

An excpert:

PIERRE — Convicted rapist and former state lawmaker Ted Klaudt filed appeal documents with the state Supreme Court late Wednesday morning.

Supreme Court documents obtained by the Capital Journal show Klaudt plans on appealing all four counts’ judgments and convictions of second-degree rape charges.

Hat tip to The Gribble Report for spotting this.
