Lane Garrison Sentenced to 40 Months in Prison

"Prison Break” star Lane Garrison was sentenced to 40 months in prison today for his role in a drunken car crash that took the life of a 17-year-old student.

Garrison was sentenced after pleading guilty to vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence and two other alcohol-related charges. He was taken away in handcuffs by deputies to serve his time.

Garrison, 27, was driving his Land Rover SUV when he crashed into a tree in Beverly Hills in December, killing Beverly Hills High School student Vahagn Setian. Two teen girls who were riding in the car were also injured. Garrison’s blood alcohol limit was over .15 that night.

In addition to the sentence, Garrison will also pay more than $280,000 in restitution to his victims' families.

He told the judge today, “I am sickened by my behavior on that night. My thoughts keep coming back to that night."

It was an accident i think he has suffered enough and he owned up and plead guity which is very brave a lot of people would try and lie there way out if it. I think jail is a bit harsh rehab or psychiatric help would be more approate sending him to jail isnt going to bring the boy back.He wont do it a gain the shock and the giult is enough to teach him a lesson What about the real evil killers and people who abuse children they desive jail not lane

First of all, he probably shouldn’t have been driving around with teenagers since he is after all 27 years old. Second of all,he killed someone. He should have to spend more than a little over 3 years in jail (probably be out in half that). He chose to drink and do drugs and then drive without any consideration for the lives, including his own, that could easily be taken away. That, my friend, is NOT an accident. It is homicide and warrants a tougher punishment whether he is sorry or not. My prayers are with the victims and their families.
