Lane Garrison is a lucky man with a guilty conscience. The Prison Break star was involved in a fatal accident earlier this year when the Land Rover he was driving slammed into a tree, killing a 17-year-old boy and severely injuring two 15-year-old girls. Garrison was drunk as hell and high as a kite, registering a BAC that was nearly twice the legal limit and admitting to possession of cocaine. Garrison plead guilty today to vehicular manslaughter and drunk driving. He will be sentenced on August 2nd, and faces up to a maximum of 6 years, 8 months for his actions. Spending more than half of the next decade in jail should effectively kill the actor's career, a fate he more than deserves given his reckless act. His character was killed off the show following the accident, and the actor is currently out of work. Good riddance.
