Lane Garrison Won't Serve Maximum Sentence--Gets 3 years 6 Months

Although the prosecutors in this case could have asked for the maximum sentence of 6 years and 8 months, they have refrained from doing so. The judge in the case handed down a sentence of 40 months for Lane Garrison, the former Prison Break star who was drunk behind the wheel of his SUV when he got in an accident which killed 17 year old Vahagn Setian.

The prosecutors for some reason only asked the judge to give Lane a sentence of 4 years 8 months.

The courtroom is packed with friends and family of the victim, most of whom were caught unaware by the low sentence recommendation.

The 40 month sentence means that Lane Garrison will actually serve about 1 year 8 months in prison total. Garrison did address the families of the victims and said he was remorseful and sick that he had done it.

Lane Garrison Discovers His Fate Tomorrow

Tomorrow morning former Prison Break star Lane Garrison is scheduled to be sentenced as a result of his guilty plea in the fatal car crash that killed 17 year old Vahagn Setian. The judge in the case can impose a maximum sentence of 6 years 8 months in prison but it is about a 50/50 chance whether he will get that long of a term.

On the one hand you want to congratulate Garrison for standing up and taking accountability for his actions, but on the other hand, even 6 years in jail seems like nothing for the death of a 17 year old high school student with his whole life to look forward to that was entirely preventable.

The parents of Vahagn have started a foundation in his name that will award scholarships and other assistance to art students in the Beverly Hills Unified School District. That same foundation has also been gathering signatures aimed at ensuring the actor faces the maximum sentence.
