When Donna Sheedy pleaded guilty Thursday to DUI in the death of motorcyclist Kenneth Temple, she told his family she knows the pain she caused because a drunken driver killed her brother while he was riding a motorcycle

Quote from the article:

"I have some understanding of how the family feels. I feel so sorry that it happened," the 61-year-old Myrtle Beach woman said during the hearing on the charge of felony driving under the influence. "It's terrible. I made a very bad decision. I can't bring him back, and I have to live with that." Temple, 47, from Centereach, New York, was killed May 15 while riding with family and friends on S.C. 544 near the Boardwalk shopping complex during the Harley-Davidson Cruisin' the Coast spring rally. Police said Sheedy was eastbound in a Mitsubishi when she crossed the center line into the westbound lanes and struck Temple, his nephew who was riding another motorcycle and then a pickup truck. At the hospital a blood sample showed Sheedy's blood alcohol content was 0.27, assistant solicitor Scott Graustein said. The legal blood alcohol limit is .08. Circuit Court Judge Benjamin Culbertson sentenced Sheedy to 18 years in prison and ordered her to pay a $25,100 fine. She must report to jail by 9 a.m. March 4 to begin serving the sentence. Sheedy, who also had a DUI conviction in 2007, faced between one to 25 years in prison. "It was hoped she would've learned her lesson at that point," Graustein said of her prior conviction. "This was a horrific felony DUI. This is the poster case for felony DUI."
