[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Cadesha Bishop, 28, was sentenced to eight to 20 years in jail on Friday after the 2019 incident that claimed the life of 74-year-old Serge Fournier
- Bus surveillance video from March 21, 2019, showed Bishop pushing Fournier after he had asked her to be nicer to other passengers in the vehicle
- Fournier fell onto the sidewalk and died a month later from his injuries
- Bishop was charged with murder and released on $100,000 bond in 2019
- Her bail was revoked in 2021 after she was charged with grand larceny, with prosecutors arguing she rented a 2020 Chevrolet Impala and did not return it
- The prosecution downgraded the murder charge to abuse of an elderly person resulting in death and Bishop pleaded guilty on December 27
- Bishop's exact sentence length is expected to be based on her behavior. Her alleged mental health history could also play a part in the parole board's decision.
