Normally, I try to keep the private lives of people to themselves, but since I'm a Prison Break fan (as are some people I know who read this):
Today, Lane Garrison ("Tweener") pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter and two counts of alcohol-related charges. In December, the SUV he was driving ran into a tree and killed a 17-year old boy. Two other teens in his car were injured. He tested positive for alcohol and cocaine. The maximum sentence is six years and eight months in a state prison.
It's horrible what happened and that it happened while he was under the influence, but it's easy to let things like that get out of hand. It's odd teens were with him, and it didn't sound as if they were more than casual acquaintances, so that makes it all the more like a situation that just kept building like a snowball. His former coworkers on Prison Break had nice things to say about him and the type of person he is and mentioned that this tragedy must be eating away at him.
Sounds like he made a horrible, horrible mistake, but he had the decency to take it like a man and plead guilty instead of trying to fight it in court. It's also nice to see someone own up to his mistakes, unlike a hotel heiress waste of space who is trying to get out of her (pretty light) commitment.
