![]() The prison has been in the news last January with dozens suspended for beating inmates. I don't understand why it took them eight and a half years to do this."ĬOVID has made things even harder for Amy, "We are quarantined often, there are no visits, I've seen my daughters once in five months." I wish the prosecutor and appellate division made this decision when I was already in here the last time. She says she's "absolutely devastated over the situation."Īmy told me in the letter she wrote to me from prison, "It's so different in here this time. She wrote to me from prison saying she's able to listen on a radio that she has to move around to get a signal. Amy was instrumental in helping Artie Lange's decision to enter rehab. She got involved with Hopewell Presbyterian Church, spoke at schools about the dangers of drinking and driving, became a life coach at City Of Angels which helps people battle addiction. Amy then began turning her life around and began helping others. Although the minimum sentence was five years, the judge cut it down to three with three years of parole because of her clean record and the thought that her children would suffer if she were jailed longer.Īccording to Wronko, the state appealed and in June of 2015, Amy was released from prison. Locane was convicted in November 2012 of second-degree vehicular homicide and assault by automobile. I cannot comprehend how in our system of justice a decade of exemplary behavior is just ignored and plays no role in determining what a sentence should be." ![]() The appeal of that sentence by her is pending and could take up to a year depending on how quickly appellate division rules. She was sent back to prison on September 17 after her last sentence. Judge Borkowski, the last sentencing judge basically said all she did in the past 10 years meant zero. "The state filed an appeal with the appellate division each time saying sentence to lenient. The ruling also rejected Locane’s argument that sentencing her again violates double jeopardy protections since she’s already completed her sentence and parole term."Īmy's attorney James Wronko told me in an email: This makes the fourth time the Melrose Place actress has been sentenced for the accident.Īccording to the Associated Press, "An appeals court ruled that a different judge incorrectly resentenced her last year, and sent the case back for another sentencing. Locane was resentenced in September 2020 by judge Angela Borkowski to eight years in prison for vehicular homicide in a drunk driving crash that killed 60-year-old Helene Seeman in 2010. Because I need to get home to my children." "I would say, if anything about getting a second chance and then having it taken away from you resonates with you or if my story sparks something in you that makes you wanna sign it, please sign it. What would you say to someone considering signing your mothers petition? I think of her every day, I will never.I will think of her until the day I die. I was devastated then and I'm still devastated to this day. There's been a question over whether or not you feel remorse about what happened the night of the accident, do you feel remorse? The time goes by so slowly now, it's very, very different. Everyone had to just sort of sit there in their bunks, wear masks and it's very different. "Everything was shut down for a number of months. What's it like in prison during this time of COVID? Not just to me, but to anyone who's ever had a second chance, who has ever taken it seriously, who was ever reformed their life." I rebuilt my life and it is a slap in the face. I didn't do anything to, I didn't violate, I didn't anything for it to be taken away from me. "I'm devastated, I mean I was given a second chance and took that second chance very seriously. I was given a second chance in the world and then it was just taken away from me. How does she feel about being sent back to prison after already serving both a sentence and probation? ![]() Everyone has been fair, the officers are fair." ![]() ![]() I've never seen any of that kind of behavior. "Fairly, I've never really seen anything that's been in the news. How is she being treated at the prison, which has been in the news lately? It's hard, it's really, really hard to like, keep, you know, to keep plugging away and to keep my chin up. "They're 12 and 14-years-old, they need their mom and I'm just, I've never been so hurt and so devastated. "I haven't seen my girls in five months," Locane said when she called into the show. ![]()
