A former Nebraska Medicine surgeon will serve anywhere from 10 to 14 years in prison after a jury convicted him of causing a high-speed car crash that killed a 22-year-old South Dakota woman in midtown Omaha in September 2023. Mark Carlson will be eligible for parole after serving five years of his prison sentence, Douglas County District Court Judge Duane Dougherty said Thursday. If Carlson does not get paroled, he is scheduled to be mandatorily discharged after serving seven years.
