Judge Yanked From 'Melrose Place' Actress' Case After Failure to Heed Appellate Division
Locane was released from prison in June 2015 after serving two and a half years of her sentence for her involvement in the 2010 accident in Montgomery Township that left Fred Seeman seriously injured and killed his wife, Helene. But Locane may have to return to prison if a stricter sentence is imposed.

An ex-”Melrose Place” actress' vehicular homicide case will be assigned to a different judge for resentencing after the first judge refused to modify his sentence after it was deemed too lenient.
The three-year sentence imposed on Amy Locane for a crash that killed one person and seriously injured another was “a hair's breadth away from illegal,” and “shocks the conscience,” the Appellate Division said Friday in State v. Locane.
In July 2016 the appeals court said Superior Court Judge Robert Reed of Somerset County misapplied the aggravating and mitigating factors under N.J.S.A. 2C:44-1(a)(9) when calculating Locane's sentence.
