After his lawyer assured the world that Lane Garrison was not intoxicated while driving the Land Rover that crashed into a tree, killing a 17-year-old boy, the teenagers at the party he attended beforehand are telling a different story. The detectives over at TMZ tracked them down, and they say that Garrison did "several shots" of Grey Goose before heading off with the teenagers to buy more liquor (and not, as his lawyer said, to meet a female friend at his apartment). Also, TMZ learns that Garrison met the teens originally at a gas station, and not at a supermarket, as was previously stated by his lawyer.
The eyewitnesses also mention that there are photographs of Garrison consuming liquor at this party, and you'd better believe that the TMZ crew has members stationed outside the homes of everyone who could possibly have had a camera at that party. They'll post the pictures just as soon as they've worked out a suitable royalties contract with the legal team of whichever high-school kid took the best photos (this is Beverly Hills, after all), and I'll link you to it when it's up.
In an interesting twist, it was revealed yesterday that Garrison was sent to live with Jessica Simpson and her family in Texas, back when her father was a minister, because he was a "troubled teen." Garrison has stated that he and Jessica "basically grew up together."
