Lane Garrison Update - Sentenced to Prison

Here’s an update to the Lane Garrison story we posted way back in April. You can see the original story right here.

LANE GARRISON - VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER

On December 2nd, 2006, the 26-year-old Garrison, one of the stars of the television show Prison Break, was driving a 2001 Land Rover when it jumped a curb and crashed into a tree. Garrison and two 15-year-old girls were injured, but 17-year-old Vahagn Setian was pronounced dead at Cedars Sinai Medical Center.

In May, he pleaded guilty to felony vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence. Following this plea, he was ordered to undergo a 90-day stay at the California Institute for Men in Chino. Afterwards, he was turned over to Los Angeles officials and has since been held in the Twin Towers Correctional Facility.

LANE GARRISON - SENTENCED TO PRISON

On Wednesday, Garrison was sentenced to a total of 40 months in a state prison. He could have been sentenced to as much as six years and eight months.

Garrison addressed the court and said the following, “I just want to say how sorry I am to the Setian family. I am sickened by my behavior on that night. My thoughts keep coming back to that night.”

He will receive credit for the 91 days he has already served, and his actual sentence will amount to around 20 months with good behavior time factored in.

He was also ordered to pay close to $300,000 to the Setian family and to the two girls injured in the accident.

According to his lawyer, Garrison has no plans to appeal and has accepted his sentence. It’s at least refreshing to see someone accept responsibility for what they did.
