Drunk Driver Who Killed Bride on Wedding Night Seen Whining
A woman named Jamie Lee Komoroski drove a car after drinking too much alcohol, which is against the law.
She crashed into a small golf cart that was carrying a bride, a groom, and two wedding guests.
The bride, Samantha Hutchinson, died from the crash.
The groom and the other passengers were badly hurt.
Police arrested Jamie because she was driving way too fast and had a lot of alcohol in her body.
A video from the police station shows her crying and asking to go home, like she did not understand what she had done.
She told officers she did not do anything wrong.
Later, she admitted in court that she was guilty of the charges.
A judge sent her to prison for 25 years.
Newly released police station footage shows Jamie Lee Komoroski, 27, handcuffed and repeatedly asking to go home after her arrest for a fatal drunken crash.
The April 28, 2023 crash in Folly Beach, South Carolina killed bride Samantha Hutchinson, 34, and seriously injured her husband Aric and two wedding guests.
Komoroski, who had been drinking at several bars, was driving a rented Toyota Camry at about 65 mph in a 25 mph zone with a blood alcohol level around three times the legal limit.
In the video, Komoroski denies responsibility, asking 'Well, what did I do?' and insisting authorities had not proved she did anything wrong.
She pleaded guilty to felony DUI, two counts of DUI causing great bodily injury or death, and reckless homicide, and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
