Man Sentenced To Prison, Apologizes In Court

An Omaha man has been given 10 to 15 years in prison for vehicular homicide.

Samuel Corbitt was convicted in June and was sentenced on Friday in Douglas County District Court.

Authorities say Corbitt was driving drunk in September 2010 when his car rammed into another vehicle at an intersection in east-central Omaha. The other driver was 18-year-old Amanda Meyers, also of Omaha. She died of her injuries the next day.

Corbitt apologized to Meyers’ family in court on Friday and said it was his fault that “Amanda is gone.”

He turns 37 on Saturday.
