Garrison Ordered To Undergo 90-day Psychiatric Test....

A judge has ordered Prison Break star Lane Garrison to undergo a 90-day psychiatric evaluation in a prison before he is sentenced for driving under the influence in a 2006 crash which killed a teenage boy.Garrison has pleaded guilty to charges of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence, driving under the influence and providing alcohol to a minor.In December 2006, Vahagn Setian was a passenger in Garrison's Land Rover when the actor lost control of the vehicle and crashed after leaving a pre-Christmas party. The 17-year-old was later pronounced dead in hospital.

During a hearing at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday (02Aug07), 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 (02Aug07), 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.
