Convicted of killing a woman while drink-driving, Locane served her time and spent the next five years as a model citizen, facing up to her crime and trying to stop others from following in her footsteps. Then she was locked up again for the same offence …

my Locane is struggling to make sense of it all. The actor and mother of two children knows she committed a crime with devastating consequences, so she accepted it when she pretty much lost everything as a result – doing her time in jail uncomplainingly. The one thing she can’t accept is that, after being released and living in the community for five years as a model citizen, she is back in prison for the same crime. It is a situation that one legal expert described as “unheard of”.

“When I was a young lawyer, we punished the guilty. We did not torture them. Times have changed. Amy Locane’s resentencing undermines public confidence in our entire criminal justice system. Lawyers & citizens alike lose confidence in the finality of judgment.” *3 resentencings?*
