That's hardly taking responsibility. That's called seeing the overwhelming evidence against you, not looking like an ass, and hoping for a friendly judge come sentencing time. He'll get a slap on the wrist I'm sure.
Responsibility would have been not getting plowed and driving in the first place.

Oh and don't forget the cocaine!

Not every drunk driving killer gets 2 years. Believe me, I know.
I'd be surprised if he gets 2 years. No way he actually serves more than 1 year in prison and it probably won't be in a state pen.

For those who doubt me....from tvguide.com....
Possible Lucky Break for Lane Garrison in Court
Former Prison Break star Lane Garrison may serve only 90 days in jail for the December DUI car crash that resulted in the death of 17-year-old Vahagn Setian.
Garrison was not sentenced at today’s Los Angeles County court hearing, but “remanded... to the Department of Corrections for diagnostics,” Judge Eldon Fox decreed. In May, Garrison pleaded guilty to all charges.
Setian’s father, the two other teenage victims who were in the car, and psychologists were among the witnesses who testified today. Garrison also testified on his own behalf.
Jane Robison, spokesperson for the L.A. County District Attorney’s office explains to TV Guide: Garrison’s “being sent to corrections [jail] for 90 days, for evaluation, to see if he’s suitable for probation.
"In 90 days the prison officials will evaluate him, and the State Department will issue a report. [Judge Fox] will take that under advisement and he will be sentenced in October. The D.A. is still recommending four years, but yes, it is possible that he could go before the judge, be deemed remorseful and suitable for probation, and not serve additional prison time — there is a
possibility that [Garrison] will not serve time beyond the 90 days.”

90 days for killing someone with a lethal weapon. Unreal.
When are we going to start taking this seriously?
Drunk Driving + Dead people as a result = Murder
Shameful.

Why do we care about Lane Garrison? His character was insignificant on Prison Break and he'll never work in Hollywood ever again.

So I can serve alcohol to minors, get drunk myself, get behind the wheel of a car with said minors and kill one of them, and I only have to serve 90 days...
But if I'm found with an ounce of herb which is for my own private enjoyment in the comfort and security of my barcalounger, I can get 6 months?
What a country.

I was exagerating for effect. The penalty hasn't been that high since the 70s. it's more like 6 months, so I'll change the original post. but that's still twice the amount of time that "Tweener" looks to have received for KILLING someone is my point.

Hyberbolic Rhetoric. I apologize. This is DVDtalk, afterall, not LexisNexis

Lane Garrison Settles with Crash Victims
Posted Apr 22nd 2009 2:40PM by TMZ Staff
Lane Garrison has reached a financial settlement with the parents of the 17-year-old kid he killed in a drunken, cocaine fueled 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.
