Lane Garrison To Serve Time

An LA judge has sentenced former Prison Break star Lane Garrison to 40 months in prison. Garrison was responsible for the death of a teenager in a drunk driving accident last December. Though Garrison faced up to seven years in prison, the judge reportedly reduced his sentence due to his lack of criminal history, his immediate admission of guilt, and his offer of financial assistance—to the tune of $300,000—to the family of the 15-year-old who was killed in the crash. With good behavior, Garrison may be released after serving 20 months. The judge told Garrison, “I believe you are truly remorseful … [but] the public needs to know crimes like this need to be punished and, unfortunately, you have to be the messenger.”
