Celebrity Justice
Lane Garrison Settles with Crash Victims

Lane GarrisonLane Garrison has reached a financial settlement with the parents of the 17-year-old kid he killed in a drunken car crash back in 2006.

We've also learned the former "Prison Break" star has reached a financial settlement with one of the survivors of the crash, Michelle Ohana.

The exact amount that he paid both parties is confidential.

Garrison is still behind bars, serving out his 40 month sentence for vehicular manslaughter and two other alcohol related charges.

The parents of Vahagn Setian had filed a civil suit against the actor last year -- demanding payment for wrongful death and gross negligence.

Ohana, who was 15 at the time of the crash, was injured so badly, she spent the following 2 months in a wheelchair.

Story developing...

31. People make mistakes sometimes. Lane made one and I bet he wishes he could go back and change it, but he can't. He has taken his punishment, made monetary compensation, served his time and become and advocate against drink and drug driving. i dont see what more he could have done.

he has dealt with this with genuine sorrow and remorse and has taken his punishment with dignity and grace.

He deserved to be punished - no one on LGo is saying differently - but he had almost served his punishment and made payments to the people affected. He has the right to parole and he has done everything asked of him. Other prisoners are entitled to good behaviour credits and so is he.

I wish him all the best for the future. He has been adn will continue to work hard as an advocate. he has done more than most other celebrities would do and will continue to do so.

I say let the man continue to do the good work he has started. he has (almost) done his time, now its time to let him be.

32. It was an accident, at least he owns up to it. He's a great actor, I wish him all the strenght and love. He must feel bad enough already, you people you don't need to put him down in public just to feel better about yourselves. Are you saints? What gives you the right to judge others?? I wish Lane all the best and life goes on. We have not forgotten you. XOXO

33. Lane Garrison has shown nothing but remorse and sorrow for what happened. He's serving his time. He took responsibility for himself much to his credit and when it's over, it should be over. Keep your chin up Lane and don't let these media fools get you down!

35. There's no need for name calling. This was an accident. He has admitted guilt, made retribution and is serving his time. We all make mistakes, he did too but after that, he has done what he can to get back on track. Lighten up a bit.

36. We all make mistakes. Just because some of you guys never got caught... Just because you are not in the lime light.Who gives you the right to judge? He is settling with the families. Let him be a productive Man to society. He is a great guy. I know him personally. He is very sorry for what he did.He will give you his last and do anything for his friends. Every situation is different. Just because he is a celeb, there gotta be haters to stir to pot. Move on and get back to your 9-5s. This is between him and the families. You all didn't go after Brandy with her incident? Only God Judges... Again what is in your closet?
