Former Prison Break Star Lane Garrison Settles with Victim’s Family
Lane Garrison, who starred on Prison Break, was arrested and charged with vehicular manslaughter back in 2006 when he killed 17-year old Vahagn Setian while drunk driving.
Garrison, who pleaded guilty to the charge and is currently serving 40 months in prison, reached a financial settlement with the parents of Setian earlier this week. The settlement comes from a civil suit filed by the Setians last year for the wrongful death of their son. The exact amount remains confidential.
Garrison has reached a settlement with Michelle Ohana, who was 15 at the time of the crash, and spent two months in a wheelchair due to her injuries.

Teen Pleads Guilty to 2007 “Mortal Kombat” Death of 7-Year Old
In Colorado, 18-year old Lamar Roberts has pleaded guilty to charges of child abuse and knowingly/recklessly causing death for the December 2007 killing of 7-year old Zoe Garcia.
The death is due to Roberts’ imitation of the fighting moves found in the video game Mortal Kombat. Garcia’s half-sister, Heather Trujillo, was also involved in kicking, hitting and slamming Garcia. Trujillo pleaded guilty to child abuse and negligently causing death back in May and is currently serving six years in Colorado’s youth offender system.
Roberts was scheduled to start his trial in January. Instead, he will now face sentencing on January 16th.
