Lane Garrison: Free in 90 Days?

Lane Garrison, the 27-year-old former Prison Break star, may walk free in just 90 days!

After pleading guilty in May to vehicular manslaughter and drunken driving, Judge Fox said at the Beverly Hills courthouse on Thursday, “The fact that you may have some notoriety, I don’t really care. We don’t have all the information. I intend to remand Mr. Garrison today to the Department of Corrections for diagnostics.”

According to TMZ, “Garrison will be sent to a California prison for 90 days, where shrinks and others will determine if Garrison is a suitable candidate for probation.”

If he is suitable, Lane is a free man.

Just Shut up! I’m glad he didn’t have to go to jail! He will have to live with this for the rest of his life! Plus only God knows his heart! Just leave him alone! Peace

Blah blah blah!

So its okay to KILL someone because you ‘will have to live with it for the rest of your life’? Lmao That’s funny.

Did you guys read his sister’s sad letter to the judge? What a tough childhood they had.

I wish everyone involved peace and closure. Sad.

This is a crock of $hit! just shows the law do not apply to Hollywood celebraties. Judges should be ashame of themself. Thats why Lindsey Lohan did not care when the police show up, she knows nothing will become of these charges court. She has had so many accidents it’s not funny. The law is a big joke. This guy will not do time in jail because he is a white actor.

I’ve been to jail. And in Tennessee girls would get 3 years for voluntary manslaughter BUT they go back to the judge every 90 days and try to get probation. One girl did 4 months. 4 ******* months! Apparently - (SHE TOLD ME THIS) The girl she killed came to her house screaming at her over a dude - THIS GIRL went back into her house - GOT A KNIFE - came back and stabbed her. 4 months. 4 ******* months. And there all PLENTY of stories like that. I DID MORE TIME FOR POSSESSION of Marijuana than the ***** that killed somebody. I was just flabbergasted at that. I got 6 years and did 8 months and this ***** KILLED SOMEONE and got out in 4 months. I’ll never get over that. Another girl did 6 months - same charge. Similar circumstances. Ugh! But with Lane, I really believe he is remorseful. He has not gone out EVER AGAIN since that happened. All the pics they get are of him crying. I think the parents are too consumed with grief and blame to step back and realize - This was an awful mistake on both parts. Lane made a bad decision to drink and drive and the boy made a bad decision to get in the car with what was clearly a drunk driver. 90 days is light - but no matter how much time he does - its not going to bring the boy back. The parents accusing him of filming a PSA for publicity just upset me. Here is a guy who didn’t try to fight it - who is always crying in secret paparrazzi shots when we see him, who has lost his entire life and career. He owned up, plead guilty. I think they are in their own private hell and can’t see that he is standing right next to them. Every waking minute - Lane is in hell. He ruined his life - his family’s - the boys and the girls that were in car. At least he is trying to do the right thing. What else can he do in this situation? I mean really. He could have fought it - dragged it out - blamed it on the kid. I just think he is NEVER going to drink and drive again after this. I just compare him to the girls I met in jail and even though I don’t know him - he is still alot more decent than they were when they left jail. So if he gets 90 days - I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

yeah, looks like OJ is having a real hard time “living with it.” I can see the pain on his face as he golfs in the Florida sun. Celebrity Justice is a joke. if you want to see some change in our society, start making an EXTREME example of celebs. They should get double the punishment so that all the other teens in the country will look at the situation and think twice about their actions.
Nicole richie should not be allowed to serve her time while pregnant.
It is too much exposure and expense for the County of L.A. taxpayers.
She should be forced to give birth, hand her baby over, and go directly to jail. Even if it’s only 4 days, I think she’ll “get it” after she misses the first week of her child’s life.

Are we kidding -he actually killed someone -put his @ss away in prison!!!!!

i think he really did make a mistake, and he be paying dearly for it for the rest of his life, he’s actually been attending aa meetings with dominic purcell.

I don’t know the average age of the people who say, “Leave him alone, he has to live with it for the rest of his life” bull$h!t, but if you are pretty much teenagers, I’d hate to think that you guys are going to be the grunt of our society in the next ten years. Gosh, society is going to hell in a handbasket if you are.
I’d hate to think that all you have to do in the next 15-20 years in our courts is look sorry, say you’re sorry and the judge will practically let you go because the jury will be filled with people like you.

We live in a country where the value placed on human life in our court systems is almost nonexistent. It is very sad but true. Criminals get more time for stealing and drug possession. And OmGosh, don’t do an armed robbery! In some cases, you don’t even have to kill anyone during the robbery to get 15-25 years! Then we have those of you who want to blame the victim for what happens to them. This is so upsetting, I can’t even believe that you guys would actually fix you mouths to say that it’s the victim’s fault. For God’s sake! The teenagers shouldn’t be hanging with a grown celebrity? How about a grown a$$ celebrity shouldn’t be hanging with a bunch of teenagers!!!!! How about that, huh!?

Shelly:

Lane may not be A-List, which shouldn’t have anything to do with it anyway, however, he was raised/reared by Jessica Simpson’s parents, thus grew up with her. And again, not to mention that he’s white and killed a white teen. Whether people want to believe that has nothing to do with it or not, they have a great deal to do with it.

If our court systems do not get better and more fair about the sentences handed down to murderers, accidental or not, high or not, people are going to start handling things the way they did in the Wild, Wild, West. We are going to have a problem with vigilante justice again. There is already a rise in the occurences of violence in court rooms after the sentences are announced. It is such a long, and expensive process to have laws changed these days. I think you have to get a petition, do a lot of research, forward it to your congressman, and lobby, lobby, lobby.

i feel that he knows what he’s done and that he truly is sorry. he told the parents of the victim that he tried to contact them everyday. this isn’t even his sentence. he has to report back to court on oct. thirty-first. i’ll be praying for him.

HE KILLED A TEENAGER!!!! and he get to go free, what about the person he killed. go justice :/

Poor Lane! I hope he will be free after the 90 days in jail.

Yo This Man Does Not Deserve To Go To Prison For A Mistake He Made, Accidents Happen, And Obviously He Is Just So So Sorry For This, And Is Learning From His Mistakes. He Has Got So Much Ahead Of Him, So Much To Give, He Does Not Deserve To Be Slated As He Is A Good Man, And Is Willing To Plead Guilty Because He Knows That It Was Wrong, But Was An Accident And It Never Was Supposed To Happen. Everyone Just Lay Off Him, The Guilt Of It All Is Enough Punnishment Is It Not? Praying For You Lane, Love You x
