Lane Garrison Might be Charged with Manslaughter
Lane Garrison should be charged with manslaughter and drunken driving for a car crash that killed a teenage passenger and injured two others, police said Wednesday.
Police Chief David L. Snowden said investigators have asked county prosecutors to charge Garrison, 26, with felony gross vehicular manslaughter; driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs; and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Investigators recommended that the DUI allegation carry the enhancement that he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 percent or more. An adult driver in California is legally over the limit at 0.08 percent.
Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney, said that the police report was under review but that no decision had been made on whether to file charges.
Garrison’s attorney, Harland Braun, said the police decision to announce details of the investigation before charges have been filed was ”a totally irresponsible thing.”
”It was basically a public trial … designed to influence potential jurors,” Braun said.
Braun said he had not yet seen any of the evidence or police reports on the investigation.
If charged and convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter, Garrison, a Dallas native who plays ”Tweener” on the Fox drama, could face up to 10 years in prison.
