Anne Heche won't spend 'any significant time' in jail for fiery crash, expert says

Anne Heche likely won't spend "any significant time" in jail after she crashed her car into a home in Los Angeles on Friday.

Heche, 53, will most likely be charged with hit-and-run along with reckless driving, a legal expert told Fox News Digital. Former U.S. Attorney Neama Rahmani explained the actress would only receive misdemeanor charges since she didn't cause any bodily injuries to anyone involved in the crashes.

The actress crashed her Mini Cooper twice on Friday, with the second crash igniting a fire that left a home destroyed in the Mar Vista neighborhood. Heche suffered burn injuries, but was "conscious and breathing" when paramedics removed her from the vehicle.

Heche could receive up to six months in jail for the hit-and-run charge alone, with up to 90 days for the reckless driving charge, Rahmani told Fox News Digital.

Attorney Arie Shamuilian of My Rights Law Group told Fox News Digital it's likely that Heche will spend time in jail for the crash.

"In this case, there's other video depicting her vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and crashing into the building," Shamuilian explained. "I anticipate there could potentially be custody time with this case, given the circumstantial evidence shows her level of recklessness was pretty high here."

If a toxicology report were to confirm Heche had been driving under the influence, she could be charged with a misdemeanor DUI. For that charge, Rahmani explained, the actress could be punished with up to six months in jail.

Sometimes, I watch HDL channel at night to watch Forensic Files. Anyway, at 6am each morning, it switches to Headline News. Their opening story Sunday Morning was about her accident. They never mentioned that she was drunk.

With the burns she received she will spend a significant time in what will feel like hell and she will have a very interesting looking body afterwards.

People should stop wasting their money on movies and TV and Nfx and all that crap. These losing-a$$ actors become rich beyond all comparison for LYING and MAKING OTHERS BELIEVE LIES and when they eff up, they get the glove. If that had been you speeding through a residential area at 100 mph and demolishing a house, where do you think you would be right now? If an angry mob had dragged you out of your car and lynched you, the Fake News Media would have been like “good riddance!”

You can’t go Galt unless you kill your TV, too. “Entertainment” is more to blame than the Rothschilds for the global spread of socialism. Yes, it is! None of it’s any good and it all needs to go.

She is also a member of the Pelosi Club for Impaired Drivers. Like AAA, except for people who should be in AA. Instead of roadside assistance for flats you get assistance from a judge.

The Pelosi Club for Impaired Drivers is a big club. You and I ain’t in it.

Yes you see the house was at fault for being in her direct path! Just like that bastard Alex Baldwin who is still running around fancy free and blaming the gun and the victim he murdered. It was her fault the bullet came at her. These evil POS are never held accountable. On the contrary they’re giving awards, movie contracts, book deals and they are considered heroes In their own little sick bubble planet! They will be praised for overcoming the adds of ending up in prison for the rest of their lives. HELLywood is evil!!

The article mentions two accidents, one occurring earlier. She must have fled that earlier incident and then crashed and burned.

Destroy an innocent persons home while endangering the lives of everyone in the area as well as the lives of responders then make believe that none of that matters while the one thing she didn’t manage, slaughtering Or barbecuing someone, is the one thing that does matter. Geez.

There was definitely more than $500 damage. A whole house and everything in it was destroyed.
