BREAKING NEWS: Lane Garrison gets 40 months in prison.
Before sentencing, a highly emotional Garrison told the victims’ families he was “genuinely remorseful” and “sickened” by his behavior that night, TMZ reported.
The judge told Garrison he will get credit for the 91 days he has already served. That, combined with California’s Work Time/Good Time early release program, means he will likely be in state prison for about 20 months. He must also pay close to $300,000 to the Setian family and to the two girls who were in the car, TMZ said.
On Tuesday, a bailiff refused to accept a 3,600-signature petition from Setian’s friends asking that Garrison receive the maximum penalty of six years and eight months, but said it would be accepted at Wednesday’s sentencing if it were submitted through the district attorney’s office, said James Lee, a spokesman for the teen’s family.

Someone died because he’s an asshole. Can some one please explain to me why I should feel bad for this piece of shit? He made the choice to drive while fucked up. If I was the victims family, I already would have killed him. Oops sir, I swear I didn’t see him behind/in front of my car! Then I’d poke myself in the eye so I’d look like I was crying.

The people he was partying with were drinking as well and they knew he had been drinking and still chose to get in the car with him

Someone didn’t die because he was an asshole. Someone (or ones) dies because he was stupid. It is rather pathetic that he will be out in a few years because he is famous. If someone not on a TV show or without money had done that, they would be under the jail.
