'Anne Heche is facing a multitude of charges. Most of them are misdemeanors.'
ET spoke with legal expert Julie Rendelman on Wednesday, who broke down the charges Heche could potentially be facing, depending on the results of the investigation, and how her condition could impact any future charges.
Heche was rushed to a nearby hospital with burns, and the home became uninhabitable. The fiery car crash, it would later become clear,"Keep in mind that each of these charges are misdemeanor charges," Rendelman said regarding the severity of the possible criminal consequences. "There is a potential for up to six months in jail, fines, as well as having her license suspended for quite a lengthy period of time.
However, Rendelman says that, even if the results come back negative for drugs or alcohol, there could still be quite a few charges Heche could face. Video captured by CBS Los Angeles showed the carnage left behind after Heche crashed her car into the home, and another showed the blue Mini Cooper speeding down the small residential street at a very high rate of speed before the frightening collision.
