The Ohio man who released a video confession for hitting and killing a man while he was driving drunk will serve 6 1/2 years in prison, a judge said.
22-year-old Matthew Cordle released a video on YouTube that received more than 2 million hits, confessing to driving drunk outside Columbus June 22.
CBS News said Cordle will lose his driving privileges for the rest of his life because of the sentence.
Cordle said he has grief and regrets the decision he made.
"The true punishment is simply living, living with the knowledge that I took an innocent life," he said to reporters. "That pain and weight will never go away."
