Lawyers say former “Melrose Place” actress Amy Locane should expect to return to jail for a fatal drunken driving crash after an appeals court said her sentence was wrongly reduced.
Locane was released from prison in June 2015 after serving two-and-a-half years for her involvement in the 2010 Montgomery Township crash that killed 60-year-old Helene Seeman and left Seeman’s husband, Fred Seeman, with serious injuries. But the state appealed her sentence as too lenient, and the Appellate Division said on July 22 that the sentencing judge, Robert Reed of Superior Court in Somerset County, failed to provide compelling reasons for his decision to downgrade her sentence from the mandatory minimum. The appeals court said Locane must be resentenced on her charges, which include second-degree vehicular homicide and third-degree death by auto.
