A judge gave the former Prison Break star 40 months for the death of Vahagn Setian, a 17-year-old who was in the car Garrison was driving while drunk and high. Two other passengers were also hurt, but not critically.

Garrison must also pay restitution in the amount of $300,000 to the victims' families.

      32

      Perez…do you even know what the fuck restitution is? The money he has to pay, is for wrongful death…not restitution.

      Restitution is when you make a contract, and you benefit the other party…but they breach…and you want the amount you benefited them back. They must pay you restittuion for the amount they were benefited from the contract, in which they never performed.

      You just seem like an uneducated fuck when you post shit like that. Probably thought it would be a "cool" word to use or something.

      He killed someone and is only getting 3 years!! WTF kinda justice is that? He was doing drugs, drinking, and partying with underage kids and that is all he gets. Also restitution? Really what kind of enjoyment is this family going to get out of 300k? It is not going to bring their loved one back with all the support he got from the Simpson family his restitution should've been higher because they sure did help him get a lawyer and what not their income should've been considered part of his.

      Re: =(
      Are you kidding? His sentence is very short considering what happened. Probably because of his fame. If you or I had some that, we'd have gotten 5 years minimum.

      I'm sure the guilt that he will have to live with for the rest of his life is enough punishment. This should be a reality check to everyone who drinks and drives. This can happen to anybody..

      I'm sure the family of the victim along with Lane and his family need everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Never going to have partie by my car, always by taxi, coz i know myself, i know i am going to drink. he knew also, he was an asshole, but at least he takes the resps

      With credit for time served and good behavior, he'll be out in 16 months. He'll write a book, do the talk show circuit and become a bigger star than he ever would have been. Killing that fool was the best career move he ever made.

      he should be thanking god that he got off this easy. it's more justice than you usually get when hollywood is involved, but it isn't nearly enough for what he did. anybody else committing the same crime would have gotten the full sentence.

      Bah it's too steep. The stupid 17 yr old got in the car voluntarily. Accidents happen. As if he didn't know the guy was drunk/high. Now if the idiot ran over a 17yr old on the road it'd be a different story. Hope he doesn't do 3 yrs. He doesn't deserve it given how lightly everyone else is getting off.

JUST GET IT IN YOUR DAMN HEADS THAT YOU CAN'T DRINK IN DRIVE. PARTY ALL YOU WANT…JUST DON'T DRIVE. DAMN PEOPLE!!! ISN'T IT MORE FUN TO DRINK AT YOUR HOUSE? THEN YOU'RE JUST IN DANGER OF BLOGGING WHILE DRUNK. THE ONLY TROUBLE IT'S CAUSED ME IS THAT EVERYONE KNOWS I WANT SOME BASS ASS!!!!! OMG I JUST TOOK A SERIOUS SUBJECT AND MADE IT ABOUT MY GAY CRUSH!!!

      77

      as a friend of vahagn setian, the boy killed in the crash, i am deeply hurt by some of your inconsiderate comments. this incident absolutely floored everyone. some of my friends contemplated suicide, and lives were ruined.. vahagn was an only child. he was one of the most amazing people i have ever met. there is truly no one like him, which makes this even harder to deal with. lane garrison was attending a high school party with two 15 year old girls.. the man is 26. I just don't understand….

      i don't quite know what to think about the sentence, but I speak for everyone involved in this when i say that we are all glad it is finally over. it's been almost a year since the crash and the healing has yet to begin.

      thank you for listening.

      why are people bringing up Brandy, its totally a different situtation. She wasn't drinking or doing drugs she just had a car accident, thats why she's not in jail.

      83

      Vahagn's death is definiitely a tragedy that no words can fully encompass — no can words encompass what the people left alive — including Garrison — must be going through…

      but, to "vahagn's friend": a Celbrity Ggossip site is not a good place to come expecting sensitive relating to your grief (ie it's kind of pissy to scold people for their comments, on a site that makes it clear up front what it is)… and also: how would feel if Vahagn had been driving, as drunk as he was, and wrecked the car, and killed Garrison — because that could just as easily have happened. Would you want him to be put away forever?
      Just some foood for thought.

      84

      Re: Chase – Sweetie, First off Perez doesn't read this shit. Second, wrongful death is a separate civil action, and one has not been instituted in this case. Second, restitution can arise from either wrongs (situations like this) or unjust enrichment (what you all got in a tizzy about). Don't go calling people uneducated when you are so obviously no Einstein yourself.

      92

      I'm not saying that its excusable, so please read my entire comment before judging. If you do some background history on him, hes had a pretty rough life. He left home at a young age (and lived with the simpsons) and left his sister with an abusive mother, when he turned 18 he applied for full custody of his younger sister and was denied because of his age. Not that any of the above makes drinking and driving remotely acceptable, and nothing will ever excuse what happened, but is this really "entertainment gossip"? I dont feel it appropriate to read about on perez or any other gossip site.

      94

      Three years in jail is a very small price to pay for taking the life of someone. He was drinking and doing drugs and the young boy paid the ultimate price - I hope he learns something from his time in jail and I hope he serves the full sentence. Sadly, he'll probably serve a small portion of the sentence and be released due to "overcrowding" and "good behavior". His victim will remain dead. My sympathies to the friends and family of his victim.

      The court system favors these dumb bitch celebrities WAY too much. I mean, good lord, Lindsay Lohan could smoke marijuana in front of a friggin cop and still get off the hook. So ridiculous…

      fuck that shit. he fucking deserves LIFE. LIFE IN PRISON. he got it easy. he killed the spirit of our high school. he killed one of the most GENUINE kids in the world. Vahgan was VERY special bringing light to everyones life. LANE GARRSION tried to fucking rape those two girls and vahagn got into the car with them to save them - instead he dies because of some coke head fucking piece of shit drug addict. he deserves life. RIP Vahagn, we love and miss you.

      This is so pathetic. That's it that's all he gets? So a teenagers life is only worth 3 years. This pedophile and murderer should go away for life. I hope his family fights this verdict.
