|                                                                          |
|                                                                          |
|                                                                          |
|                                                                          |
|                                                                          |
|                                                                          |
|The woman involved in the car accident that resulted in the death of      |
|41-year-old Frisco attorney Richard McKennon on Feb. 26, 2006, was        |
|sentenced to four years in prison Friday.                                 |
|                                                                          |
|Barbara Ripa, 41, was convicted of a felony manslaughter charge Thursday  |
|by a Collin County jury.                                                  |
|                                                                          |
|McKennon was fatally injured when Ripaâs SUV turned left in front of his  |
|motorcycle while he was traveling on Preston Road, according to police. He|
|was later pronounced dead at Centennial Medical Center in Frisco.         |
|                                                                          |
|He is survived by his wife, Kayla, and four children, Matt, Meagan,       |
|Alyssa, and Kendall.                                                      |
|                                                                          |
|Kayla McKennon said Fridayâs sentencing gave her a sense of closure.      |
|                                                                          |
|âI think it was a fair sentence,â she said. âI am glad it was prison time |
|and not probation. I hope this gives her the opportunity to get the help  |
|she needs â I donât have to think about her doing this to someone else.â  |
|Ripaâs attorney H. Ownby declined to comment.                             |
|                                                                          |
|                                                                          |
