Alexandra Ellis looks towards Jeff Dusenbury's family during her sentencing for the hit-and-run death of the cyclist on Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2015, and said, "I’m very sorry for how I’ve hurt you. That I’ve taken away your dad. Just to say it will never be enough. But I want to spend the rest of my life trying to make it up."

Alexandra Ellis, who killed bicyclist Jeff Dusenbury while driving intoxicated in South Anchorage last year, was sentenced Wednesday to a year in prison.

Ellis' sentencing hearing continued in Anchorage Wednesday, with tearful testimony from the family of Dusenbury and several witnesses for the defense. Ellis pleaded guilty in May to killing Dusenbury while driving under the influence July 19, 2014.

The full sentence handed down by Superior Court Judge Michael Wolverton was three years with two suspended on a charge of criminally negligent homicide, and a consecutive 360 days with 350 suspended for DUI.
