Lane Garrison to Get Psych Evaluation Before Sentencing

Lane Garrison was supposed to be sentenced today but has instead been sent for a 90-day psychiatric evaluation in prison. After that time is up the judge will then determine the sentence for driving under the influence in a 2006 crash that killed a teenage boy.

During a hearing at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday, Judge Elden S. Fox ruled he needed to see the results of a “diagnostic” test on Garrison before deciding his sentence.

Judge Fox also told the actor he has no interest in his celebrity.

He said, “The fact that you may have some notoriety, I don’t really care.”

Earlier in the day, the victim’s father, Karen Setian, told the court that he feared a new TV advertisement Garrison has filmed warning against the perils of driving under the influence is nothing more than an attempt to get a lighter sentence.

Setian said, “He is an actor, and he is acting. Let’s not fall for his act.”
