        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Melrose Place&#8221; actress Amy Locane is headed back behind bars.</p><p>On Thursday, New Jersey State Superior Court Judge Angela Borkowski sentenced Locane to eight years in state prison related to a fatal 2010 DWI crash near Princeton. Per state law, she must serve over six years before being eligible for parole.</p><p>The 48-year-old famously left the &#8220;Beverly Hills, 90210&#8221; spinoff after its first season in 1992. The 2010 accident she was involved in killed 60-year-old Helene Seeman and severely injured Helene&#8217;s husband Fred. Locane, who witnesses saw drinking the night of the crash, contended a third motorist distracted her and caused her to collide with the Seemans&#8217; car as they turned into the driveway of their Montgomery Township home.</p><p>Locane&#8217;s blood alcohol content was <strong>reportedly three times the legal limit</strong> the night of the crash. She was driving roughly 53 mph in a 35-mph zone, <strong>according to NBC Connecticut</strong> and <strong>reportedly flirted with one of the officers</strong> responding to the crash, information her defense attorney at the time attempted to suppress.</p><p>Locane&#8217;s conviction, which included vehicular manslaughter, earned her a three-year-sentence in 2013. But the case has seen multiple appeals and re-sentencing, with a different judge from the original case sentencing her to five years in 2019. (Three judges have issued four different sentences in the case.)</p><p>James Wronko, Locane&#8217;s attorney, is pursuing a double-jeopardy defense — arguing that Locane has completed her original sentence and parole term and cannot be re-sentenced for the same crime — and is hoping the New Jersey Supreme Court will hear Locane&#8217;s appeal within 45 days.</p><p>Borkowski contended Thursday that Locane still hasn&#8217;t taken full responsibility for her crash — a view held by Fred Seeman, who was in court Thursday — and said Locane is at risk of being a repeat offender. (Locane apologized to the Seeman family Thursday in a statement.)</p><p>“You made a conscious decision to drink that day and continued to drink, recognizing at the onset that you needed a ride but didn’t obtain one,&#8221; Borkowski told Locane. &#8220;If you hadn’t gotten behind the wheel of your vehicle on this night, the incident never would have happened.”</p><p>Locane has two children, one of whom has Crohn&#8217;s disease, <strong>who figured into a lenient sentence</strong> from one judge in the case. In 2017, her husband, Mark Bovenizer, <strong>served her with divorce papers</strong> five months after her release.</p><p>&#8220;I made a horrible mistake on June 27, 2010, one that devastated a lot of people,&#8221; <strong>she told NJ.com in 2017.</strong> &#8220;I will always live with that pain. I can&#8217;t get it back. All I can do is stay sober and make my life a living amends to the life of Helene Seeman.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
