A 28-year-old woman charged with murder for pushing a 74-year-old man off a public bus in Las Vegas has been sentenced to prison as part of a plea agreement.

Kadesha Bishop was sentenced to between eight and 20 years in prison on February 18, almost two months after she pleaded guilty to elder abuse resulting in serious bodily injury or death.

Security camera video released a few days after the incident shows Fournier exiting the bus with a metal cart when Bishop pushed him from behind. He fell out of the door of the bus and fell face down on the cart he was carrying.

According to fellow travelers and witnesses, Bishop was shouting profanity at other passengers before Fournier intervened and asked her to "be more polite". According to witnesses, after the push, she left without offering to help the elderly man.

Fournier initially survived the fall, but succumbed to his injuries a month later. His death was ruled a homicide by officials of the Clark County Medical Examiner's Office.

During her February 18 sentencing hearing, Bishop said she regretted her behavior and criticized "the way I was portrayed in the darkest and weakest moment of my life." Bishop said she pleaded guilty because she felt she would not get a fair sentence otherwise.

Stephen Spelman, Bishop's lawyer, said the woman suffers from bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Bishop is eligible for parole after eight years.
