Las Vegas woman, 28, who admitted to shoving an elderly man off a bus to his death in 2019, is sentenced to eight to 20 years in prison as part of a plea deal
2022-02-20
[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  • Her bail was revoked in 2021 after she was charged with grand larceny, with prosecutors arguing she rented a 2020 Chevrolet Impala and did not return it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.

#5  Anyone should have felt privileged to ride on the bus with her. Just as I'm sure the woman Uber driver's first honest moment as a human being was when her passenger shot her.

#3   bipolar

common sense says she is basically an awful person

The two are independent — part time daughter is bipolar, and a lovely, loving woman. But when she is on the manic side of the cycle, she works hard to control her impulses and intrusive thoughts that everyone is talking about her and judging her. Medication helped, once she was out of her mother’s house and could organize treatment; so did having responsibility for her own children. But she was able to recognize that she has a problem and do something about it — many can’t.
