Read full article: 'Melrose Place' actress headed back to prison for 2010 crashA former “Melrose Place” actress who has already served a prison sentence for a fatal 2010 drunken driving crash in New Jersey is headed back behind bars after a judge agreed with prosecutors Thursday that her initial sentence was too lenient. Saying Amy Locane still refuses to fully acknowledge her culpability in the crash that killed 60-year-old Helene Seeman and severely injured Seeman's husband, state Superior Court Judge Angela Borkowski sentenced her to eight years in state prison. She was placed in handcuffs and taken into custody by court deputies after the proceeding in state court in Somerville. The state initially sought a seven-year sentence, but a trial judge sentenced her to three years in 2013. Wronko said he is waiting to see if the state Supreme Court decides to hear his appeal on the double jeopardy question.

This week, an appeals court ruled that a different judge incorrectly resentenced her last year, and sent the case back for another sentencing. The state sought a seven-year sentence, but the trial judge sentenced her to three years. An appeals court ruled he misapplied the law, but at a resentencing, the same judge declined to give Locane additional time. Wronko disputed that analysis and said Locane didn't voluntarily surrender in 2013 but that the state sought to revoke her bail and the judge agreed.
