Former 'Melrose Place' Actress Returns To Court For Fatal Drunken Car Crash: Report
Amy Locane-Bovenizer's blood alcohol was three times the limit when she crashed into a Montgomery couple killing the wife: report
MONTGOMERY, NJ — Former "Melrose Place" actress Amy Locane-Bovenizer is back in court and facing a new sentencing hearing for the drunken car crash that killed a Montgomery resident in June 2010, according to nj.com.
The new hearing came from the appeals court, who ruled Friday that the leniency granted in the original three-year prison term lacked enough explanation, the publication reported.
The crash occurred on June 27, 2010 when Locane-Bovenizer's SUV hit a Mercury Milan turning into a driveway in Montgomery Township. Her blood-alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit and she was driving 53 mph in a 35 mph zone, authorities said.
