Celebrity Justice
"Prison Break" Star's Snobbiness Triggered Crash

"Prison Break" star Lane Garrison may have averted tragedy last week had he settled for a lesser vodka.

Garrison was behind the wheel last weekend when his Land Rover crashed into a tree in Beverly Hills, killing 17-year-old Vahagn Setian. As TMZ first reported, Garrison met Setian and two 15-year-old girls hours before the crash. The teens invited the actor to a party. People who attended the party tell TMZ they saw Garrison drink between four and seven shots of Grey Goose vodka in a short period of time.

Now other sources say seven was the unlucky number of shots. And we're told, Garrison was not drinking out of a shot glass -- the receptacle was much larger.

People who attended the party say Garrison finished off the Grey Goose and was offered Absolut vodka, but insisted on his drink of choice. The sources say Garrison was making a liquor run for more Grey Goose with Setian and the two girls when the accident occurred.

Garrison's high-powered celebrity defense lawyer Harland Braun tells TMZ his client was heading back to his apartment when the crash occurred. Garrison's blood was tested the night of the crash to determine his blood alcohol level. Results are pending.

61. #52's opinion is automatically thrown out due to the lack of correct spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure. Go take an English class, c**t.

Lane is not a murderer. Car accidents are never premeditated. There are many people to blame in this situation. Oh, and no one gives two f***s what you think. ;)

62. I took the time to read almost every post and almost peed on myself. #48 and the rest of you kooks guess he's looking for the real driver with O.j. Simpson. This is the biggest crap of lies I have ever heard. Remember Nicole and Ron were responsible for allowing their heads for being almost cut off. Young (teenagers) meet a grown television star with a nice auto and he invites to ride with him are usually not responsible and will make that mistake. His lawyer will say anything to get his client off, even if he's guilty. Can we for the first time think about the grieving family who lost their son?

63. It's disgusting to see all of the close-minded idiots in this post who automatically assume that everything TMZ posts is the truth.

When will you people take your head out of your asses and realize that 30 drunken, underage teenagers aren't credible witnesses? Why haven't the pictures of Lane drinking come out? Because there are none.

Lane was not drunk. If he was, he'd be arrested by now. The BHPD doesn't use equipment that is so primitive that the results take weeks. They must be testing for drugs.

I can't wait for all the comments "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE UR STICKIN UP 4 A MURDERRRR OMGGG" LOL.

64. Can you remove your head from your ass for two seconds? Have you ever thought for two seconds that what TMZ posts isn't the absolute truth? Wait till the BA tests are done and stop assuming, it makes you look like an ass.

68. This is so tragic - Lane has cut his own career short just when it was taking off -- this is the outcome of very stupid decision. The loss in this situation is immeasurable - the loss of a young boy, whose life is irreplaceable. What is truly intolerable is Hollywood's insistence in these situations to make these situations "go away" with the highest power attorneys and publicists to brush away any problem the individual has caused. Everyone makes mistakes - those things are eventually forgiveable, but when an individual cannot face the public with the truth of their involvement - this is just not acceptable. It adds insult to injury. The public should not tolerate this type of behavior.

Let's hope that the DA's office is able to build a solid case and prosecute this guy -- he was old enough to know better, but it's a shame that he'll have to live with such dire consequences - the loss of his career, and worse yet, the knowledge that he is responsible for the loss of a life - no attorney can erase that memory from his conscience....

70. #37 Please..you cant tell a pedophile by talking to him neither can you tell from your the perception of his public perosna ...Most pedophiles could have thier pick of women...How do you explain the Max Factor case (he was not a pedophile jsut preffered to rape..he had his pick of women, yet her preffered to rape them..its not about having your pick of men or women.....Its about a sick perverison.

Havent said said that I have no idea if Lane Garrison is a pedophile..just answering statemnet that sounds like ignorance.

I think the rest of the people up abpvehave taken care to reply to this blind devotion to a movie star....


Is it soo difficult ot get through to you that someone lost their son , and at this point Lane Garrison's Wellbeing is of little importance to the general public. The guy is luck yo have a fan like you...Frankly I dont understand the devotion to a movie star who hardly knows who you are...

My condolences to the family of the young man. Wether he had issues or not he did not deserve to die in this manner.

71. I am disgusted that some of you feel sorry for Lane Garrison. You should see how one 26-year-olds stupid decision changed the community that Vahagn lived in. The highschool students cant study, teachers cant concentrate and teach. His family must be torn-up inside. Such an innocent boy. Vahagn never got to go to his prom, he never got to go to his highschool graduation. His parents never got to see him walk down the isle and get married. THey will never be able to have grandchildren...just because of one careless driver. Im really sorry for anyone who feels sorry for Lane. Im sure now Lane feels guilty, however...Vahagn doesnt have the chance to see his friends, or family ever again...that is the saddest part.
R.I.P. Vahagn...wel never forget you.....

72. Jake,
Are you a perverted pediphile? I have heard you are a "Punk-n-the Woods".
Those words from someone who knows who you are.
I bet you are guilty of most of the BS that you write about. This is why you do the name calling to the other bloggers.
Bend over right now & spell RUN 3 times fast... He will be there & "coming" before you are on the 3rd time.
LANE: Guilty Of All Charges

73. first of all my prays and thoughts are with setians' family and friends.. i know that everybody is hurting and i am truly sorry.. but at the same time you should know that Lane is not a bad, evil person. He is a polite, sweet person and this accident is going to go where ever he goes for the rest of his life. But if he could do it all over again he would do it definitly..

all my prayers and thought are with Lane.. I'm very sorry for what happened.

74. #26 .. although I agree in principle with a lot of what you said, the "Well Drunk Driving might be the last bastion of "what is harmful to us" is not acceptable to me. If it was only going to harm us (me) fine ... but as we generally see, its the fool that's drunk that walks away unharmed. It's some innocent that ends up dead (and yes... I do consider the 17 y/o fatality as an innocent). The "adult" should have known better!

75. thank you "didyouseemercy". Well said.
Danna .. sorry you had your daughter had to go through that. Hope she learned something important though.
Prince Charles ... you're an ass.
