A Las Vegas lady was sentenced Friday to eight to twenty years in prison for the death of a man, 74, she shoved out of the doorof a bus in 2019.

Cadesha Bishop (28), pleaded guilty last month to abusing an older vulnerable person resulting into substantial bodily harm or even death. FOX 5 Las Vegas reported that she was originally charged with murder.

Bishop said Friday that she was sorry for her behavior while blaming the media.

She said, “I am sorry for how I was depicted in my lowest and most vulnerable moment of life.” “The way I’ve been portrayed is just not fair for someone who has never been in trouble.”
According to authorities, Bishop pushed Serge Fournier (74), off a bus on March 21, 2019. He caused him to fall eight feet from the curb. Fournier had asked Bishop to be kind to passengers before she pushed him. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, witnesses claimed that she was swearing at other riders.
According to
FOX5, she pushed him with both her hands “with enough force that [he] never touched any of these steps,” according to an arrest report. He died one month later.
Bishop was originally held on $100,000 bail for the murder charge, but that bail was revoked by the Review-Journal last July after she was accused of grand larceny, embezzlement, and theft for failing to return a rental vehicle.
