Here we have it: after deliberation that seemed to last forever, actor Lane Garrison was sentenced today to 40 months in prison as a result of the fatal car crash that killed 17-year old Vahagn Setian’s in Beverly Hills last December. Splash was at the Los Angeles Superior Court for Lane Garrison's sentencing today, where we caught these photos of victim Vahagn Setian's family and friends outside the courthouse. Garrison pleaded guilty on May 21 to vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence and driving under the influence. He also admitted to providing alcohol to a minor and having a blood-alcohol level of .15 or above. Garrison lawyer Harland Braun submitted to the press that the actor "accepted the sentence" and called it "perfectly appropriate." Lane is not expected to appeal the sentence, which I think many of you who commented here might appreciate. The judge said that his lower sentence was due to his lack of a previous criminal record and the fact that he accepted the charges right away. The best part of the whole story is this: now there are debates about how much of the sentence Garrison will actually have to serve. His lawyer Braun speculated that he'll serve 50% of the sentence, while Deputy District Attorney Joseph Markus expects him to serve 85% of it. Hmm, what about 100%? That's not an option any more?
