Not just Alec Baldwin: Hollywood celebrities who committed murder

These stars have had serious problems with the law.

In 1987, actor Matthew Broderick toured Northern Ireland with actress Jennifer Gray (star of Dancing with the Stars), whom he was dating at the time. Broderick was driving when their car collided with another vehicle carrying two women, Ann Gallagher, 28, and her mother, 63. They both died. Broderick ended up in the hospital with his injuries and Gray escaped with a few bruises. Broderick was eventually allowed to return to the United States, but only after a $4,075 bond was posted. Sarah Jessica Parker’s husband-to-be could potentially face up to 10 years in prison – five years for each death. Broderick was eventually convicted of reckless driving and ordered to pay a $175 fine. Relatives of the victims called it “a travesty of justice”.

Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil was involved in a drunk driving accident in 1984. The passenger of the car, Vince’s friend and the drummer of the Finnish band Hanoi Rocks, Nicholas Dingli, died. Neil was charged with manslaughter and DUI.

He pleaded guilty to the charges, was ordered to pay $2.5 million in restitution and served less than a month in prison.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 actress killed a nine-year-old boy named Jorge in 2001 in Los Angeles.

Gayheart pleaded guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter in a motor vehicle accident and was sentenced to probation, a year of probation, a $2,800 fine and 750 hours of community service.

In 2019, during an appearance on the Laura Cathcart Robbins podcast, Gayheart admitted that she “just didn’t want to live after that accident”. The actress was very upset by the tragedy and even thought about suicide.

In 2010, the Melrose Place actress hit attorney Fred Seaman and his wife Helen Seaman on a New Jersey highway. Helen Seaman died instantly from her injuries and her husband was seriously injured. Tests showed that the actress’ blood alcohol level was three times higher than the legal limit.

In 2013, Locane was found guilty and sentenced to three years in prison. When the woman was released, however, the court decided to retry the case because it considered the first sentence too lenient. In 2020, Locane was sentenced to eight years in prison, and under New Jersey law he must serve more than six years before being eligible for parole.
