“It is difficult to explain to your two daughters why five years later, Mommy is being jailed,” said Locane’s attorney.
“Melrose Place” veteran Amy Locane will be sentenced for the fourth time for her fatal DUI accident, according to the judges who presided over the case.
In 2010, Locane, 48, killed Helene Seeman and seriously injured her husband, Fred, in a car crash outside the couple’s home in New Jersey.
On Wednesday, a New Jersey court ruled that a judge had wrongly sentenced Locane in 2019 and that the case would return to court for another round of sentencing.
“The judge who most recently convicted the defendant used his own methodology,” court documents obtained by Fox News revealed. “In the process, it ignored our referral mandate with respect to certain aggravating and mitigating factors. Finding in this unique case that the double-risk principles do not impede a final procedure, in this way we annul the judgment and re-send so that a new sentence “.

The documents also stated that the last three sentences “resulted in sentences that were illegal or imposed outside of the sentencing scheme of the New Jersey Penal Code.”
Locane had already served two and a half years of a three-year sentence when he went to prison in February 2013 on charges of manslaughter and vehicular assault.
Her attorney, James Wronko, said she would appeal the decision for a new sentence.
“Ms. Locane has been out of prison for five years, and it has been two years since she completed probation,” Wronko said in a statement. “During all this time, she did everything they asked her to do, and it is difficult to explain to her two daughters why five years later, Mommy is being incarcerated.”

In 2017, Locane said he feared returning to prison after an appeals court alleged that his most recent sentence was too lenient.
“I had worked very hard since 2010 in my sobriety, in adjusting to life in prison, in being released from prison, in acclimatizing to the life of my children and releasing on parole that having to return would seriously interrupt, if not destroy Any progress I had made back to being human, “the” School Ties “star told New Jersey Advance Media.
“Not a day has gone by that I don’t think about Helene Seeman,” he continued. “I feel terrible for their family. I know they are suffering. I know they are grieving. I have said I am sorry again and again, but I feel it falls on deaf ears.”
Locane first rose to fame alongside Johnny Depp in 1990’s “Cry-Baby”. She landed the role of Sandy in “Melrose Place” in 1992, but only appeared in the first 13 episodes.
