Lane Garrison Prison Sentence - Bodog Odds - How Long Will He Serve for Vehicular Manslaughter?

Actor Lane Garrison first gained national attention with his role as David ‘Tweener’ Apolskis on the hit Fox television series Prison Break. Sadly, his next major media appearance came after a fatal car accident which killed a 17-year-old boy and left two teenage girls injured (one in critical condition).

According to a Beverly Hills police report, Garrison, 26, was driving a 2001 Land Rover SUV when it jumped a curb at about 50 mph and crashed into a tree at around 11:50 pm on December 2nd, 2006. Garrison received minor injuries, but Vahagn Setian, a Beverly Hills High School student, was pronounced dead at Cedars Sinai Medical Center.

Police said that Garrison, who as a troubled Texas youth once lived for a year in the home of Jessica Simpson and her family, had a blood-alcohol level of .20 percent as well as cocaine in his system. However, the official charges stated that his blood-alcohol level was somewhere above .15 percent. He was charged with felony vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, felony driving under the influence causing injury to multiple victims, felony driving with a blood-alcohol level above the .08 percent legal limit causing injury, and a misdemeanor count of furnishing alcohol to a minor.

It has been learned that Garrison will plead guilty to vehicular manslaughter on May 21st when his arraignment resumes in Superior Court. His attorney has said that he could also plead guilty to other charges. According to his attorney, “He realizes that he has to step up and take responsibility for what he did.”

If convicted, Garrison faces up to six years and eight months in prison. And while the entire situation is tragic, that never stopped Bodog from trying to make a buck or two. In fact, you can wager up to $50 on the length of Lane Garrison’s sentence. To see the most up-to-date odds, click here. Currently, the odds are:
