Amy Locane was originally sentenced to three years in state prison on the charges of vehicular homicide and assault by auto. However, the sentence was appealed by the prosecution due to its leniency. The original judge who presided the sentencing and trial, Judge Robert Reed, refused to change the sentence during the first resentencing. Superior Court Judge Kevin Shanahan presided over the second resentencing in February of 2019. This time the Melrose Place actor was sentenced to five years in State prison.

Amy Locane served around two years in prison from 2013 to June of 2015. Due to her previous time spent in prison, Amy is eligible for parole in six years. This is because she was sentenced under the No Early Release Act.

For her fourth sentencing, Amy Locane was represented by her boyfriend James Wronko. Wronko asked Judge Borkowski to sentence Amy Locane to two years in prison as she had already served a prior sentence. He also asked the Judge to consider the 10-year gap between the accident and present day. However, the Judge still considered Amy Locane to be a risk to society and believed that she could still re-offend.
