Lane Garrison is headed to prison for three years and four months.
The ‘Prison Break’ star was sentenced today in L.A. for a drunken driving crash that killed a teenager last December.
In accordance to California’s Work Time/Good Time early release program, he will likely be in state prison for about 20 months.
Before the ruling, Lane apologized to the family of the 17-year-old Beverly Hills High School student he killed. “I’m sick of my own behavior that night,” he said. “This remorse is genuine. I feel it every day.”
Our thoughts on the sentence? Does the punishment fit the crime?

What can I say? There is simply nothing funny about
Lane Garrison’s trial for vehicular manslaughter.
If you thought his PSA was touching, check out the jailbound star on the stand today in a Los Angeles courthouse.
Just be sure to have a hanky nearby.

The folks over at TMZ are blogging directly from the courtroom where Lane Garrison’s sentencing hearing is underway.
It’s quite the tearfest.
As you may recall, Lane was charged with vehicular manslaughter after an accident in December that left a 17-year-old passenger dead.
There’s been the suggestion that hunky young star may have unknowingly taken a date-rape drug, and testimony that he lied about being the driver.
Meanwhile, the former ‘Prison Break’ star could be free after 90 days. An L.A. judge reprimanded Lane to corrections officials for “diagnostics.”
TMZ’s legal eagles explain that the sentence means Lane, who plead guilty to vehicular manslaughter, will be seen by doctors and experts in the correctional system to see if he is a good candidate for probation.
Prosecutors wanted the him to serve the full four years.
A case of justice served or celebrity justice? Discuss.

Sure, recording a public service announcement is a keen legal move for celebs in trouble looking for a light sentence. But THIS advance look at an anti-drinking PSA from ‘Prison Break’’s Garrison Lane really doesn’t look self-serving at all. It’s actually quite disturbing.
Lane pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter and felony DUI after an accident in December left a 17-year-old passenger dead. He is due to be sentenced on Thursday.
This one is a must-watch!
