6. Do family members ever remember that once attorneys are involved there is going to be no contact between the defendant and victims relatives? I am sure he would have apoligised for the ACCIDENT had his attorney not told him to remain silent. This is a huge loss for all involved. Lane is just like anyone else in hollywood during there 20's. He was unlucky and unfortunately his driving resulted in a fatal accident. No ammount of time is going to teach lane a lesson nor will it bring back the victim. These are always tough cases to resolve. DA

7. These parents are up there with parents who let their little boys spend the night at Michael Jackson's house. Where is the parental responsibilty?
Oh judge, this is so terrible. Throw this man in the slammer because my kids had no parental supervision and they got in a car with a boozed up celebrity becasue we taught them no morals.

8. Dang, how many times does Lane have to say it? Even I believe him and I've never met him in person. That man will eat dirt for the rest of his life even though he is doing all he can to make restitution to the family. Lane can't bring someone back to life no matter what he does and he can't go back in time.

He deserves jail, yes. But I have feeling he'll be paying millions upon millions long after he's out and retired.

9. The parents are in a lot of pain. But I think Lane was honest in that video. I don't think it's an act.

10. families should NOT seek revenge. that's not for them to decine. i know how hard it is for them but to attack lane when he is clearly trying to do the right thing is shameful. i'm SURE these people would call themselves 'christian' if you asked them. pitiful. it does nothing to bring a person back, all you will get is media attention and money. i'm sure that in the end, if you cant have your son back, you'll gladly take the money aimirite

11. #7 I agree with you. I feel really guilty for it for some reason, but I do.

12. The boy was 17, and drinking and attending a party. Had his father taught him better, he would have never got in the car with Lane, because he wouldn't have been there in the first place.

What Lane is a terrible crime, and he needs to pay dearly for it. His life is "over" as he knew it, and sorrow and regret will fill his days from now on. That is a huge punishment.

15. I agree with #12 - Petite.

Though it doesn't make what Lane did right by any means, his parents need to take some of the responsibility on themselves.

It's called an accident for a reason too, Lane didn't take out a gun and intentionally shoot this kid. They were ALL drinking and what they ALL did was SO stupid and irresponsible.

I personally know how someone who took out a gun and just starting shooting at people randomly, and because the people he shot at weren't killed, the 19 year old got less than a year in county jail, with 5 years probation. His mommy and daddy had him out on bail within 12 hours and it took 3 more months to get him back in jail. He works at a local grocery and was heard multiple times bragging about how he got away with everything he did. Not once has he apologized to anyone.

At least Lane 'acts' like he's sorry.
