A judge has decided that a University of South Dakota Student who was speeding on his motorcycle when he hit and killed a pedestrian in Sioux Falls last year will spend 30 days in jail.

The Argus Leader reports that 21 year-old, Daniel John Richards, pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter in a deal that kept him out of prison and could remove the charge from his record with a year of good behavior.

Richards, a Sioux Falls native, was riding his motorcycle in September of last year, when he struck 56 year-old Maralee A. Chrans, who was crossing a street with her dog.

She and her dog were both killed. Richards was injured when he was thrown from his motorcycle.
