TRENTON, New Jersey -- An actor who appeared in the 1990s prime-time soap opera"Melrose Place" has lost a bid to have her sentence in a 2010 fatal auto crash reduced.Locane was convicted on vehicular manslaughter and other counts for the crash that killed 60-year-old Helene Seeman and severely injured Seeman's husband, Fred.
Locane has been sentenced four separate times after appeals courts ruled the first two sentences were too lenient and a third didn't properly follow guidelines it had set in an earlier ruling. In Tuesday's ruling, the appeals court held that Borkowski correctly gave more weight to aggravating factors - such as the severity of the offense and Locane's decision to drive while clearly intoxicated - than to mitigating factors such as Locane's lack of a prior criminal record and efforts at rehabilitation.
