SIOUX FALLS, SD - A man who admitted to texting while driving before a crash that killed a motorcyclist is sentenced to time in prison.
Brent O'Neal pleaded guilty to manslaughter in December in the death of 33-year-old Philip Sorensen. O'Neal admitted he was texting and driving when he hit three vehicles, a motorcycle and a light pole at the intersection of 26th Street and Minnesota Avenue in July 2012.
During a sentencing hearing Tuesday afternoon, Judge Mark Salter heard from attorneys on both sides, along with Sorensen's family members and O'Neal himself.
Salter sentenced O'Neal to 20 years in the penitentiary with 11 suspended. He estimates O'Neal will serve half of the nine years.
O'Neal must also pay $10,000 in restitution.

While I don't like it, whether he killed a biker or pedestran, it would have been the same, manslaughter. you don't get lots of time for that. considered an accident, yet no accident that he was texting. tell your congressman, unless the laws stiffen for this, people will continue to do it. look at dui, even stiff penalties, and fines don't stop it. its the chance we take, like it or not

The criminal sentencing is the least of O'Neal's troubles.
Multi-million dollar judgments stemming from lawsuits in the civil sentencing is what will execute O'Neal.
OTH, OJ hasn't paid a penny.

At least he got something. An old lady pulled out in front of my son and killed him and all she got was a failer to yield ticket.

South Dakota has more motorcycles per person than any other state in the nation. I suspect the driver could not have received a harsher sentence anywhere else.
