Lane Garrison, former cast member on the television series
Prison Break, will be pleading guilty to vehicular manslaughter charges at his next hearing, which is scheduled to commence on May 21, according to his attorney Harland Braun.
After Garrison’s April 11 hearing in Beverly Hills court, Braun asked for continuance. He explained to TV Guide, "There will be no deal on sentencing…that decision will be left totally up to the judge." Given this, Garrison faces a maximum of 6 years in prison, quite ironic since he already spent some on screen jail time with his stint on Prison Break. Braun also shared what Garrison told him, “‘I'm alive and the other young man isn't. I'm alive, and there are hundreds of young men dying under horrendous circumstances in Iraq. In a very real sense, I'm lucky.’” In addition, Braun said that Garrison is deeply depressed about everything that has happened. He said, "He's extremely sad about... this tragedy."
Last December 2, Garrison got involved in a car accident. His 2001 Land Rover leaped a curb at about 50 mph and consequently hit a tree. The crash nearly ended his life and caused the death of a 17-year old Beverly Hills High School student Vahagn Setian, a male passenger, and severely injured two 15-year old girls. Garrison’s blood alcohol level was actually 0.15 percent far beyond the California limit of 0.08 percent. To add more complications, cocaine was found in his blood, which further aggravated his case.

Garrison, a 26-year old native of Dallas, Texas, first got his break by doing television commercials. He is best known for playing David "Tweener" Apolskis on the action-suspense series
Prison Break. Prior to his stint on
Prison Break, he worked in a number of movies and television shows like 4 Faces, Quality of Life and Night Stalker.
