Garrison Could Dodge Bullet

lane garrisonAfter the dramatic testimony in Lane Garrison's sentencing, a dramatic twist just went down.

Garrison's lawyers, Richard Hutton and Harland Braun, have apparently asked the court for a "diagnostic." That means Garrison will be sent to a California prison for 90 days, where shrinks and others will determine if Garrison is a suitable candidate for probation.

Sources say behind closed doors, the D.A. vehemently opposed the judge's order, favoring four years hard time instead.

If the judge goes along with the defense request, the smart money is that the shrinks will say Garrison is a suitable candidate for probation and the judge will agree. That would mean Garrison would serve 90 days.

Garrison will probably spend the first 30 days in L.A. County Jail, waiting to be sent to prison for evaluation.

I feel bad for Lane that his life is completely changed after one horrible decision. But, with that said, there is NO WAY this guy should get probation. A child is DEAD! He should definitely have to do some hard time.

Didn't the parents of the kid that died teach him that don't get in a car with someone that has been drinking? Everyone in that car was not using their heads that night..

We all make crappy decisions and need to face up to them to the full extent of the law. His victim will never again step on this earth and his family has a life sentence. Garrison should do his time and get on with his own life as a convicted felon. Probation can be decided after some time spent in prison.

people act as if nobody else in the car was drinking. they should all be equally responsible for all being idiots. If he had killed innocent people, I would not have any sympathy for him

just my opinion.

6 years isn't enough.... I don't care how boo-hooey you get. You screwed up a family forever... 6 years is no where NEAR forever for most people.

Someone DIED. Paris spent 23 days in jail just for driving on a suspended license (deservedly). 6 years is possibly even too little! He needs to spend some HARD TIME in jail, for real! That said, Nicole Ritchie should be spending more time than 4 days for essentially doing the same thing and being much much luckier (since no one died or was injured)
