If you do it enough you get good at it. For 27 years I've driven drunk when it's the most convenient option (maybe twice a month on average). I've even been pulled over drunk (also high on weed and xanax) for things not related to driving. I was able to act normal and have never had a DUI or have been in an accident. I think this is more of a driving ability issue. Lol
It’s because their body does not react fast enough to flinch to brace for impact due to being so drunk, therefore their body is limp and has better chance of less bones breaking and puncturing viral organs. It’s so unfortunate but happens most of the time.
Dad: “things just happen that way and nothing can be done about it” No wonder she is the way she is. Nobody in her life taught her about choices and consequences.
That was the most telling line in the whole report. It is a commitment to rejection of accountability. It is exactly why she contends that the thing she did is a thing that happened to her.
she never once brings up "how are the victim's family, I'm truly sorry for what I've done to them, etc. etc". Not a word of concern for no one but Jamie.
She is as bad as the woman who hit and killed the 2 people walking and saying they hit her car. Then ask the cop if she was gonna be able to go to school the next day. She had no care for them either.
Makes you wonder what kind of unfeeling monsters they are because I don't believe alcohol makes you completely uncaring about taking people's lives. That girl who killed 2 people..... just disgusting
I honestly think I'm seeing this lack of empathy and spoiled childish behaviour more and more as this new generation become young adults. There is something about the Internet generation that don't seem to have any common sense and a total lack of empathy to others. I'm 50 and grew up learning to share , learning hard work and knowing how to live in a civilised society, im not saying all of this generation are horrible selfish brats it just seems some kids don't seem to have any kind of reality to which they live their lives. It's great having the Internet, social media , all the trappings of modern life , but I'd still rather have grown up in the 70s and 80s and have the common sense to know what reality really is.
I remember being hit by a drunk driver back in 2008 (totaled my car and I’ve had a lifetime of pain) I overheard the guy that hit me talking to his girlfriend on the phone and he was telling her that his life was over. This guy was at the police station and I was there also. He didn’t realize I was standing right there. I overheard him on the phone saying that I was ‘just some Mexican lady’ I was a young girl actually. This story just brought back memories of such a horrible time for me and no remorse from that guy. Just basically nothing was there.
I am sorry for everything you've suffered. It's a shock when you realize that there's people among us who just don't care. That's the hardest thing to understand and forgive. Just remember, there are many who do care. Humanity still has hope. Take care!
Her mother also struck a fireman in 2013 and killed him with no charges. This somehow gives light on Jamie's erratic behaviour post incident, in her mind she thinks she can get away with murder as well.
@Дэвид Pomo You're going to join your mom on a highway to earn that amount of money, or something? 💀 Basement edgelord, the only million you'll ever see is amount of Tyrone's in your moms bedroom
her dad saying “we dont care,we dont care what happened,we only care about you” had my jaw on the floor.Her jailhouse recordings make me physically ill,but it’s entirely clear where she gets it from.
Well, the damage has already been done. Her dad cannot undo it, and telling his daughter that she is a miserable human being is not going to be of much help. (But should she ever get out of jail, it would be good if the people around her start holding her responsible for the things she does.)
@@ronald3836 sorry I disagree. Seems to me that they forgive her for what she did. Nah she needs some discipline and her parents to give her a conscience!
@@evaadams8298 but why now when she is at the absolute low point of her life? She needs punishment by the state and she will get punished by the state. Why shouldn't her parents, as the only persons she now has left in the world, not stand her by at this time? Everybody else obviously has turned their back to her, and for good reasons. Later there will be time enough for tough talks.
Yes. I was surprised Dr. Grande didn’t mention her traits (e.g., believing she was going to be a “genius” in addition to her egregiously inappropriate victim-mentality) of being a grandiose narcissist. She’s exemplified textbook narcissism in several ways, IMO.
Drinking and driving sounds just like my little sister. She was like that as a kid even- forget the alcohol. I remember asking my mom for years why it was she didn’t have a conscience when I did at her age.
No self awareness. To really ask why it would happen when you got in a car drunk and drove twice the speed. Far too many people like this in the world sadly
She’s probably never been held accountable for anything in her life until now. My aunt is kind of like this, my grandmother has done everything for her and wonders why she is utterly incapable of taking responsibility for anything.
I saw an interview with the brides husband, he is absolutely broken. This is so heartbreaking. The fact that she shows absolutely no remorse and is only concerned with herself tells me everything I need to know about her. Drunk driving needs a lot harsher punishments. My heat goes out to her husband and family.
It pisses me off that it's considered manslaughter (at least in my state) vs what it actually is which imo, it's FIRST degree murder. People are well aware when they consume alcohol that it's going to affect ALL of their abilities. The second they take that first sip/gulp is the second they knew what their beverage of choice was going to do to them. If the laws were changed and people were now aware that driving drunk would lead to a 1st degree murder charge and sentence I'd bet they'd think twice about getting behind the wheel. Taking someones life only to recieved a few yrs isn't justice. Allowing citizens to have 3+ DUI's on their rap sheet is 2+ DUI's too many. It's time for a change...
This is beyond sad and heartbreaking. My fear is that the sentence she will eventually get won't fit the crime. Her father has probably bailed her out of everything she has ever done. Ummm, she is a terrible person, imo. She's also delusional.
@@tammiemartinez6485 it is manslaughter. It isn’t first degree murder . She didn’t mean to do it .yes she was drunk . It was not something she planned to do. It couldn’t be first . Even second degree isn’t right . Most accidents with fatalities are manslaughter’s
My grandfather and best friend were both hit and their lives ended from a drunk driver. I also know 3 people who are paralyzed after being hit by drunk drivers. I have ZERO sympathy for people who drive drunk. With there being UBER, Lyft, taxis and public transportation, there is NO EXCUSE for drunk driving.
Oh my gosh… I’m so sorry for your loss. I agree with you wholeheartedly. People who drink and drive are the WORST kind of people. It’s completely unacceptable.
Agreed. Isn’t it a sick world we live in, where killers like Jamie are released 1. could care less about their victims and 2. are free to live out their lives with minimal punishment and restitution
The only time I would have sympathy for a driver is if someone had a soft drink spiked, in a similar way to when a perpetrator spikes it with date r*p* drugs where you are unaware of what's going on. Otherwise I think there should be zero tolerance to drink-driving. A zero or extremely low limit, where if you've had any alcohol, you don't drive.
" This seems like a good idea for a plea deal. Jamie gets released when she's considered a genius, making her punishment a life sentence" I love that line... and the way he delivers it so seriously!!!! This guy really does have some of the best one liners on the internet!
Her father isn't calling a spade a spade. He's softening everything for her. This brings me to an understanding of Komoroski's lack of accountability and narcissistic tendencies.
@@williamlouie569 I remember a case in Long Island NY in about 2005-2006 where a drunk driver killed a flower girl due to a drunk driving car accident. He was driving a pick up truck that his parents had bought him so he would be okay if he had a car crash (I believe had lost his license due to dui). HIs mother had the audacity to make a comment to the mother of the flower girl along the lines of something like, "Please don't let the judge give my son a life sentence you know what is like to lose a child." And the mom of the flower girl said something like, "Your son is still alive, I will never hold my littler girl again because of choices your son made!" The parents of these drivers who enable their behavior should be sent to jail.
Yeah he seems like he’s trying to sound stern because he knows they let her get away with too much. He even hired attorneys for her. My parents would have disowned me if I accidentally killed someone. They told me in high school that if o ever got arrested I was on my own unless I could prove it was a false arrest. Hell, they didn’t even defend me if I got caught skipping class. My dad told the principal ‘don’t worry. She’s in trouble here, too.’ People who act like this either have no family, or their families do things like hire top attorneys and keep them in the family.
Exactly. I did a year in jail because I got 3 dui’s in 13 months. I deserved every bit of my punishment,and I never hurt anyone thank god. I learned my lesson and realized how absolutely dangerous and selfish it really is. I don’t drink anymore, and it isn’t something I miss at all.
I can’t imagine being the emergency responder tending to a woman in her wedding gown on the side of the road. How traumatizing for everyone involved. I cannot imagine how the husband must feel
I know...and I agree. 😢.. That would be a horrific sight to see. Kudos to our emergency workers for what all they have to do. You know it has to affect them greatly. It takes an extremely strong, and courageous person to do that line of work. But, even for the strongest people, it's still very traumatizing for them.
Kids like Jamie and her parents are the reason I left teaching. The level of enabling and excuses parents like these make for their child's behavior nowadays is absolutely criminal. I finally got sick of dealing with stupid parents like them and their child. I hope Jamie goes to jail for a long time.
Children have free will and their personalities/ behaviors are influenced by many factors like genetics, environment, peer groups and over all temperament. Not just how the parents raised them. Blaming her parents also diminishes Jamie's accountability, provides an excuse which may enable these behaviors to continue.
@@jeffk464 Teachers don't have nearly enough time with a student to be a major influence, unless an individual student is particularly receptive. If parents let their kids run wild, there's not much a teacher can do about it, especially when the parents undermine any attempts to challenge bad behaviour.
@@jeffk464 there's an ongoing case of a woman named Laura Owens and Clayton Echard you should look into. She claims she's pregnant with Clayton's twins after performing oral sex on him. Her equally delusional parents support and back her ridiculous allegations. THAT, Mr. @jeffk464, is the kind of shit teachers have to deal with on a daily basis. Some of these kids have a huge sense of entitlement and zero accountability for their actions that no amount of influence would help them out. Teachers are required to teach, parents should be required to raise responsible, well balanced, and productive members of society. That is currently not happening.
This is the epitome of modern wahmen. You got what you deserve. I think she did it purposely because she was not getting married and cant see other people getting married and living a happy life. Many modern fatherless wahmen do the same
Melissa Marvin got 80 years in prison for a dui wreck killing 4 young people in '99. She, at least, showed remorse (after sobering up) when realizing what she had done. This Komoroski girl is really something else. I get her being a jerk while still bombed out of her mind, but to sober up and still be unable to grasp what she has done or care about it in the least is horrendous.
She’s completely self-absorbed and delusional. Her parents really screwed up. Parents, your job is not to protect your child’s feelings to the point that they grow up thinking their feelings matter more than everything else. You have to say no. It’s important. You also have to hold them accountable for things they do wrong. If you don’t, this is what you end up with.
at what point does a grown ass adults feelings/actions become their own. my parents do not influence my actions. if i kill someone it is my choice. i just dont understand this observaton.
She's out on bond now and planning her own big wedding 🤦♀️ Zero accountability, zero remorse. She belongs in prison for the rest of her life. The fact that her own mother did the EXACT SAME THING and her dad is telling her "Bad things happen to good people" is so telling of how she ended up this way. What a disgusting, disgraceful family.
"I can't believe this is my life and my whole life is going to be over." , "I just can't believe this happened to me." This is a very infuriating character. She goes through life believing that things only happen to her without any decision-making or personal responsibility. Not even one thought about the innocents she harmed.
She is a self serving narcissist who only cares about how this affected her! What about the poor woman who lost her life on her wedding day? What about her groom, mother, father and family who were so happy on the day of the wedding and who hours later had to mourn her death??? No, she must go to jail for many years and go and learn the word empathy!!!
@@shereens1463 Learning what the word empathy means isn't going to help. She wasn't taught empathy by her parents. It's not a natural phenomena, it's early learned behavior that if not instilled by a certain age, is nearly impossible to develop in adulthood.
Iit made me think about the coroner cutting a white dress covered in blood with scissors and then how it should've been - a loving husband taking it off on their first night. I can't believe this really happened
@@dr.princess832 We once had the vicar still in his robes arrive at our hospital mortuary after he fell down dead in the middle of the wedding ceremony. That was very sad for him, his family and the wedding couple, but this death is the worst kind of tragedy imaginable. Bad enough to be killed by a drunk driver at any time, let alone on your wedding night, but this particular driver is an abysmal excuse for a human.
@nnnik Listening to what has been said in phone calls and what has happened in this case, after this entitled, selfish, brat of a woman got drunk & killed a young bride & injured 3 others...yeah, we know. Hearing her interactions with her parents as an adult gives a clear view into how she was raised.
@@djholliday5132 listened further along and in this case they probably never gave her accountability. On the other hand I have a friend whose parents were always strict and harsh to unreasonable levels. He now sells drugs on the street
Okay seriously though Ive seen countless shit about how to parent or not how to parent. Find what works, dont be a pushover. You can read plenty of books that tell you to be srtrict or be handa off or whatever. Theres absolutely no way to know which is best Find a balance thats all, too much or too little to extremes can cause bad behavior
@Dynoids I'm a parent of 3. My oldest is almost 19. I have never read a book related to parenting. I tell my kids I love them daily & have been affectionate with them since birth. I GIVE respect & EXPECT respect. I apologize to teach them we all make mistakes. I took what I learned from my own parents & grandparents. I kept the good and didn't memick what I didn't like. Aiming to raise kids who are good people, consider the feelings of others, accept responsibility & consequences, not to lie, steal, hit & be mean & nasty, and basically raising them not to be azzholes is the goal. Parents no longer teach empathy or discipline. That's why humanity & society has eroded into the insanity we see now.
The parents should’ve told her blatantly that she’s a drunk driver. She’s worried about her life being over, yet the bride she killed didn’t get to live her whole like as a wife & a mother, if she planned on having kids. It’s a terrible tragedy.
As an alcoholic, I can assure you it would not have helped and, in fact, only made things worse. I mean, calling someone a "drunk driver" would naturally make anyone defensive, and besides, she already knows she has a problem and is doing everything she can to try (however unsuccessfully) to hide it and live in denial. Unfortunately, she has to hit rock bottom before she decides it's finally time to take control of her life. And "Why me?" are the words of someone who obviously doesn't feel like she's in control.
@@iammedusa2600 Stop lying. Her mother wasn't drunk when that accident happened. Lying doesn't help anyone, unless your intention is to get the pitchfork bearers even more rarked up. I have no idea what sort of people her parents were - possibly enablers since the daughter is such a brat - but that does not make them liable for what she has done, and does not make a terrible but all too common accident from years prior anything more than that.
@@It-is-me...Melsie lying? LMAO ok. Get off your holier-than-thou horse. MAYBE it was an honest mistake. Ever think of that? Of course not, because YOU have to jump to conclusions and go on a tirade and not give anyone the benefit of the doubt. Says a ton about your character. Bless your heart.

I watched this on another channel and heard her Dad telling her it was not her fault that it was an accident. If you are 3 times over the legal limit and you drove THAT is not an accident.
In my youth. I drank drunk after a terrible divorce. My car flipped. Later I read A young girl just a mile down died two weeks before. Her car flipped on her! She was coming home late from college. It’s a wavy road with a long tunnel. She was Not drinking. To this day I’m happy that my car did not kill anyone. A voice told me it will be ok. Just relax. Everything went in slow motion. Even tho I was going 100 miles! All of the anger and tears got in the way. Please don’t drink and drive! Hard to do when intoxicated tho. It’s like your sense is out the window!
This is what happens when parents raise and encourage a spoiled, entitled child who only cares about herself and her image. It’s clear she’s never been held accountable for her actions. She is still whining like a child even though she’s an adult. It’s all about her. Congratulations, parents. You raised a disgusting human being.
Right, but the older generation always blames the children. And yes, I get that they need to get their shit together as adults and undo what was done to them, but if the parents enable it for so long, how exactly do they pull that off?
Guidance and consequences are what's missing. As a young parent myself it disgusts me when other parents baby their children forever. We're supposed to raise them to grow up, not to become adult babies.
That whole parental dynamic sounds very enabling for sure. The father doesn’t take the situation seriously either. Yes, she is awful but it sounds like she comes by it VERY honestly. Her parents are out to lunch too.
Omg... this is so horrible. I just can't imagine seeing your daughter, sister, friend etc absolutely glowing with life and being told a few hours later she was dead. This is absolutely heart breaking. And the fact she takes zero responsibility or accountability for her actions and seems completely disconnected from the horrendous thing she did... those new jersey attorneys need to tell her parents to stop visiting her lol
No concern for the woman she killed and what the husband, of only a few hours, and families are going through. Don't think anyone is going to view her as less than a selfish, irresponsible, horrible person even after she does her time. 10 years for killing someone else isn't enough time, regardless of the time tacked onto that for the other crimes.

@@boss_niko are you on drugs? You need to get out of your manophere echo chamber bubble and step back into reality. You sound dumb you said fatherless women and this woman has a father visiting her and getting her an attorney. You don’t listen do you? Everything with the manosphere has to revolve around a woman getting married. You people obsess over marriage and weaponizing marriage against women. If a woman doesn’t get married she’s useless if she does marry and walks away from a toxic marriage she’s useless. It’s laughable.
She sounds like a horrible person. I was hit by a drunk driver with my young son in the car and it changed my life forever in very negative ways. Thank you Dr Grande for not having sympathy for the perpetrator and for really explaining how devastating this truly is for the victim and her family💔
I had a friend killed by a drunk driver 25 years ago and it changed my life. It also, of course, changed the lives of his wife and children. The effects of a shocking tragedy like this truly can't be quantified. My heart is broken for the loved ones of this bride and groom. What an awful tragedy.
@@Theoreticallyyou1234Even opioids you won't die from the withdrawal, and they typically don't cause brain damage like alcohol does. I actually cannot think of a more damaging drug than alcohol.
He sure does get the videos out everyday and quickly. I enjoy listening sometimes he really helps me get a different view on things. Usually it’s a better take on what was going on way better than I had on my own. Lol
Her narcissism is sickening. To imagine the bride's family celebrating one minute and grieving a horrific, avoidable loss the next. As you pointed out, Jamie's complete lack of empathy is revolting. (Minor note: I lived in New Jersey for years; people there are as good as anywhere else.) But your insightful video was heartbreakingly on point. I hope the groom and his bride's family can find peace. While Jamie stays in prison.
Dr. Grande, please never lose your sense of humour. These cases are brutal and often absurd, and your jokes and sarcasm make it educational and amazingly funny at the same time. Perfection! ❤
My cousin was killed by a drunk driver the day after her 24th birthday. She was in her own front yard and was pregnant with her second child at the time. This topic is incredibly serious. I really appreciate when you talk about drunk driving cases. To add some details: my cousin’s 2 year old daughter was also hit by this driver and she luckily recovered physically. My cousin’s husband found his wife and child in the road and had to witness his wife die. The driver initially got out of his car to see what he hit, then got back in his car and fled the scene. He was later found hiding in a shed. This man later showed remorse, but remorse cannot undo a death. He took 2 lives and destroyed his own future. I recently had a friend of my husband’s admit to us that he had driven around while drinking an entire 12 pack of beer in an afternoon. I didn’t even know what to say.
Pregnant and killed by some idiot drinking and driving that hurts my heart to hear. I am sorry for your loss. Losses. And if anyone tells me they drink and drive at this point in my life I won’t be friends with them anymore. I am embarrassed I used to drive after drinking one or two drinks with dinner or Sunday during football games - young and stupid and glad I didn’t hurt or kill anyone. I don’t drink anymore and it’s crazy to see how socially accepted and expected it is, and we wonder why these things keep happening. Look at any beer commercial and it’s pretty much glorified and made trendy especially to the younger generation.
This is the epitome of modern wahmen. You got what you deserve. I think she did it purposely because she was not getting married and cant see other people getting married and living a happy life. Many modern fatherless wahmen do the same
Narcissists have bred quite a bit over the past 6-12 decades. The wealthy families tend to do the most societal damage. But since they're rich, there isn't anything that can't be nullified by coin, connections, clout, crews, computer code, communities, and opportunities. People like Bezoz, Zuck, Chump, Theranos chick, Amber Heard, Wil Smith, etc. all get free passes! 💪😎✌️
This case was a nightmare from start to finish. It’s amazing that Jamie seems to have no actual guilt for killing an innocent woman in her wedding dress. These events are a startling reminder that we need to hold the ones we love close and never take them for granted, because we never know what might happen. Thanks Dr. Grande.
These events are a startling reminders of how a drug damages and kills Its time we stop looking at alcohol as ::fun: Its a drug and one that many are addicted to That boozing it up is cool (her pictures kind of sum that all up) Its disgusting She is and was disgusting and her Dad appeared to be a huge part of her problem - Perhaps if we actually punished people who drink and drive and killed someone just maybe there would be less of it going on ...maybe?
This is one of the saddest stories I’ve ever heard. Can’t imagine how hard it is for her family and her poor husband. Let’s hope they throw the book at her, Samantha should have been enjoying one of the happiest days of her life instead she lost her whole future because of someone else’s selfish actions. RIP Samantha and deepest condolences to your poor family 😢
As a sober alcoholic pf 17 years I can tell you that one of the hardest things to do is convince another alcoholic that THEY are the problem NOT the alcohol.
that’s for alcoholics who refuse to take accountability. i’m sure it’s a problem in other parts of their life too. i’m an alcoholic but i know it’s my behavior and choices that lead me to issues, not the inanimate bottle of liquid on the counter.
i was only drinking for like 8 months but it quickly got out of hand. my dads a lifer and still drinking 10 beers a day, i promise i would never be like him.. then i got a job at a liquor store getting everything at whole sale prices.. i can see how one would slip into the hole. one thing i never did was do or justify drunk driving in any capacity. absolutely ridiculous
Just like you started drinking when in that environment you would start driving drunk after a while of being drunk all the time. We’re talking about alcoholics lots of us drink before we brush our teeth. 6 years clean from booze in August. The root of the problem is us but I would never say and I have never heard anyone say the alcohols not the problem. It’s not the cause of the problem it’s a symptom but it is most definitely a problem haha
Thank you so much for covering this, I’m from here, my parents live on folly beach, the whole community is a wreck over this. The whole island is 25 mph and even going 30 feels fast, I can’t imagine going 65 + like the killer was. (Yes she’s a killer) and to hit and kill someone on the happiest night of their lives at that😭 the brides family and the groom has been in all of our thoughts and prayers. I hope she gets life in prison for this.
I’m local too and I was baffled to read she was going 65, I can’t even imagine. Really hoping she gets the harshest sentencing possible, I can’t believe she’s acting as if SHE is the victim 😣
Dad is clearly an enabler for “his baby girl” who apparently, “can do no wrong.” He’s doing what he’s always done, ever since his daughter was born: never letting her take responsibility for her actions or face the full consequences that come with those actions.
@@ronald3836 Yes it would. She should know that this type of behavior is unacceptable and that people are angry with her because of it. They're doing a horrible job as parents by hiring lawyers for her. Good parents let their kids learn from mistakes, instead they're trying help her get off easy.
Her parents enabled her awful behavior and still want her to get best defense. Hope she gets the longest possible sentence. She killed a beautiful woman 😢 not to mention caused extreme pain and loss to her husband and entire family.
@@KatherineLaura6564 yes if my kid killed someone through their own fault then they deserve it…nobody forced her to drink and drive and she has a history of alcohol abuse and it was not an accident
I'd hate to be her defense attorney, because she has no defense. She was driving way over the speed limit, she was DUI, and she killed someone and badly injured other people. Cut and dried, sister. You're gonna stay where you belong.
@@KatherineLaura6564 Of course, they don't want her to go to jail. But she killed someone. The defense attorney isn't going to much help. She's facing up to 25 years here.
I’m sure her parents are proud of the clearly fine human they raised. This is the second case in weeks in which the intoxicated driver claims they are the victim and it’s truly disgusting
“Bringing New Jersey to anywhere should be its own charge…” LOL I’m not often that tickled by Dr. Grande’s humor but that KILLED me!!!! Seriously I’m dead
Including her own! Even when she gets out of jail no one’s gonna wanna hire her, date her, be her friend, etc. Even still, at least she gets to see another day, unlike her victim. 💔
Her family has highly contributed to her self centeredness. I really hope she goes in for a long long time. She hasn't even once mentioned how guilty she feel for killing someone!
There was a brief window of awareness where she told the cops/guards that she didn't deserve to eat or drink. I think she's still delusional and it's understandable. Alcoholism is a terrible illness :(
@@michellewall6748No. Most of the youth these days All over the globe are like This. Parents are helpless and sometimes emotional ally blackmailed. The kids have been brainwashed at school, by their piers, also the media advertising all kind of unnecessary nonsense/must have stuff/ not to mention the LGBT agenda. Just a few points to add to their entitlement attitude. It's difficult.
@@MariaLopez-hc2nmSociety especially western society which includes the parents is to blame. Parents also need to be on the same page. In my asian muslim semi devout household, i the mother am the bad cop/villain.
I committed the same crime when I was 22. I was just incredibly lucky that nothing happened. Someone (maybe the bartender) called the police because they knew I was drunk off my ass and would be driving home. So it was easy for them to take me out of circulation. I am sooo grateful to the person who reported me to LE. I am still ashamed to this day when I think about it. I probably could not have lived with myself having killed someone through my criminal behavior. I had to surrender my driver's license for 6 months and pass a psychological test to get it back. Today I'm over 40 and I would try to stop anyone who wanted to drive drunk. An alcohol measurement method should be developed that is linked to starting a vehicle so that the engine only starts when the driver is sober. Of course, even such a device could be fooled, but it would still be an additional hurdle. I encourage everyone to call the police if they witness someone getting behind the wheel drunk. And now to the person we are talking about here. Her attitude leaves me speechless. What a despicable behavior! Someone should urgently make her realize that she is a murderer. It is an unbelievable tragedy and I am very sorry for all the relatives and friends of Samantha. I wish them all a lot of strength. This wound will never heal.
Excellent idea! Industrial engineers and industrial designers, take notes!!! A passed 0.0 alcohol in bloodstream test in order to start a car!! Yes, YES, YES!!! 👏👏
Sounds like a spoiled brat! Saw an interview of the husband recently and it’s heartbreaking 💔 I hope she gets locked up for a long time because she will definitely do something reckless again.
Never wanted to "shake" some sense into a person as much as this and the other drunk driving murderer. Vile obnoxious little princesses. I hope they both get equally vile bunk mates who make their whole stay in jail a misery because they certainly won't do as much time as they should for extinguishing peoples lives and walking away with barely a scratch
I hope she gets to eat warm meatballs in prison until she's 65. I'm being nice for saying 65 year old. She's disgust me. That's what happened when you rise your children with money and not with brain. Throw away the key.
The poor man could barely get a sentence out without crying. The heartbreak so evident on his face! I can’t even come close to imagining what he is going through or her poor parents!
Oh man, my condolences. I hope you find who did it and blind the drunk driver for life. Of course, the law will be all bent out of shape over their "human rights"...
She clearly has some narcissist traits like being incapable of feeling empathy. But I think if there was someone in her life holding her accountable for her actions then she wouldn’t have gotten so out of control.
Yeah, this reminds me of that term 'affluenza,' where a kid is shielded from the consequences of their actions for so long that eventually they get out of control and don't really even understand that their actions have consequences, for them or for other people they impact.
I can’t imagine the pain and suffering Eric went through. Imagine having your bride killed by a drunk driver the night of your marriage. Mere hours afterward
Its completely surreal, It's like a scene out of a horror movie I can't imagine being at the scene with his beautiful wife in her wedding dress dead. The family must be devastated . The husband in a shroud of grief ,unconsollable. My prayers are with them.
Not to mention the trauma of that. He will never get over it or forget it happened. This little narcissist ruined the lives of both families and a multitude of friends. She is sickening!

She will. The testimony of the bereaved husband will bring that courtroom down. Everyone will be in tears. It will be up to the judge to have the stiffest of backbones, and not buy her crocodile tears. GIVE HER THE MAX.
The things she's saying while she's actually sobered up sound like things a drunk person would say not yet realizing the severity of the situation. The fact that she hadn't processed the fact that she killed someone speaks volumes about her as a person. I DJ weddings for a living and I couldn't imagine doing a sparkler sendoff for the couple and them being slammed into by a drunk driver moments later.
You're too kind. Organ harvest to get back as much as possible that she took from this world. Could save some poor kid's mom who needs an organ. I'd swap her for a few decent people.
I'm not sure if M. Grande is like this in real life, or if it's a youtube persona, but looking him throwing shade left and right and craking jokes while maintaining his signature serious and monotone demeanor just get me every time. Keep up the good work Todd, we love it !
Wow, she is VERY childish and spoiled. Disturbing lack of empathy as well. At first I thought it almost sounded like the parents were glad she was in jail but then it seemed like they are her enablers that have most likely really spoiled her to not have to deal with her reactions. How very sad SO sad for the guy that lost his beautiful bride. My heart breaks for them. This girl deserves a LONG sentence.
We shared the same wedding date and I just can’t imagine it ending that way. Those poor family and friends. Her lack of remorse is sickening. Thank you for your spot on analysis
Doc I’ve been a subscriber for several years now and you never fail to deliver insightful, educational and thought provoking analysis of current events. Your dry humor always hits the mark while maintaining respect and dignity for the victims in the situation. In short, Thank you for your continued hard work and dedication to your channel. I’m sure you’ll be in the 3 million sun count by this time next year!
I heard about this story and was so angry when the girl who hit the bride clearly only cared about herself. It’s evident that she takes no responsibility for anything she does. She literally killed a person, and left three with severe injuries that will negatively impact them for the rest of their lives. I hope she ends up in prison for the rest of her life.There’s enough selfish people out there.
She should serve way more than 22 years. She destroyed at least TWO lives that day. Her poor husband, I can't imagine how it would feel to have your future with your wife ripped away like that.
She’s like the couple killed by that laughing woman. Sick! Here in my town, we now have same situation. 18 yr old high on mushrooms, booze and weed slammed into a building going 80-90. She had just ransacked a church! Killed her passenger (bf) and his best friend. She just had a zoom bond hearing and rolled her eyes at the judge and slammed her hands on the table. Another uncivilized entitled monster. Alcohol doesn’t change you it magnifies the real you!!
The ironic part is the older generation talks about how spoiled the youth is. Who raised them? Read the NYP articles about her and it sounds like her father is a coddling bitch. He's got to AT LEAST be a Gen-X'er.
Was just thinking of this case. She makes me ill w/her comments. Dad seems part of the problem, catering to a narcissist. Excellent analysis, inflections, quips. Thanks Dr G😊💙💙

This saddened me Sam was so happy she looked so beautiful she didn't want the night to end just for that pos to take it all away no fairytale no children all gone ...
Did you ever drive under the influence? If you did, then this could have happened to you. (I'm not saying you did!) I understand Jamie's "why me" as "of all the many many thousands of irresponsible people who happily drive while being intoxicated, why did it have to be me that ended up killing a person"?
I'm astounded by how much she's made it clear that she only cares about how people perceive her. It doesn't seem like there's any thoughts towards what the loved ones of Samantha are going through right now. And her talking about making an apology was so heartless. She's not sorry for killing someone, she just wants to say that she is in the hopes that people "won't be hard on her". What a vile woman.
She's not getting that people are going to view her much worse now because of all her unfiltered thoughts and trying to escape responsibility. Having people's anger is obviously not fun, but she should know that it's understandable in this case. She just needs to face it now.
I have a relative like Jamie, who never takes responsibility for the damages she causes while drunk. Basically, she’s a blackout drunk and has no memory of her horrible behavior, and doesn’t want to know.
I live in a rooming house and there's a lady here right now like that she drinks excessively and mixes the alcohol with prescription pills methadone and heroin does some crazy abusive shit and then when she wakes up the next day she's forgotten everything. If we're lucky someone will tell her what she did and she says a half hearted apology and thinks everything will go back to normal and that we won't be upset with her anymore but alot of the time she doesn't even apologise. 2 days ago she was screaming all day and night abusing people and even assaulted a 52 year old lady drawing blood then she called the cops crying saying she was the victim and the 52 year old attacked her and she wanted to press charges. Luckily we have cctv and there were witnesses otherwise the older lady she attacked would have gotten arrested/charged.
I have a very close friend exactly like that. It’s impossibly sad to watch her continue to exist in a blacked-out state and the atrocious, irresponsible and incredibly dangerous things she continues to do. They don’t pay attention to you, talk in loops, and literally have zero recollection of anything they do. Even sexually. It’s terrifying, really.
@@user-AAAA978 she's been shown cctv and audio recordings of some of the things she does and it doesn't make her embarrassed it just makes her very angry.
I feel very sad for the husband who lost his wife. Just married and widowed too soon.For the bride's family and friends. This is a horrific tragedy. Prayers for them 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭
That broad is DISGUSTING. You KILLED A HUMAN BEING ON WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST DAY OF HER LIFE. The conversation she was having in jail tells me everything the jury needs to know about her. Lock her up , and throw away the keys
She is speaking like a child who is punished at school, she literally is living in her own childish, narcissistic and spoiled, selfish brain, I couldn't help laugh when she said she wasn't allowed to hold the remote control, ive never been to any prison but even I'm wise enough to know you don't get to choose your own personal TV channel choice when you want. I am so angry though when I actually think of the crime she committed, so sad that people's lives are ruined and a woman lost her life after the happiest day of their lives , because this ignorant adult child was drinking and driving, I hope she gets the book thrown at her and does 20 plus years. My fear is her family has money and can afford the best defence team and she ends up doing a couple of years, less time spent , which by the time it gets to trial means she walks away free.
Does not understand.....will not understand. Cannot understand....time will teach her....its a death of turmoil. For her....oh vater im himmel. The human condition
I am ashamed to say I had a DUI crash over 20 years ago. I had a .30 BAC level and it was believed I passed out at the wheel. Thankfully I only hurt a telephone pole and tree. My skin crawled for years after that wreck bc the thought that I could've hurt someone ate me alive. I couldn't sleep without sleeping pills. I was required to complete rehab. I have not made that mistake ever again. I couldn't imagine thinking of only myself and the consequences if I'd hurt someone in my condition.
@@rosa104I ain’t giving her no kind of break. She’s got a history of drinking excessively and making terrible decisions. She deserves to rot in jail for many years. She became this way because she was given too many breaks in life.
My best friend died due to a speeding driver. He wasn't drunk, just chronically late for work and on his last warning. One rainy morning he was late again and speeding. He lost control of his car and killed my 23 year old friend. He got of scott free. Not even a warning or probation period. Just, thank you, you may go. Cases like this make my blood boil!
If you killed someone because of speeding or dui, there should be an automatic prison time. The courts care more for the perpetrators than the victims & their families. I hate this.
I actually agree with “dr” G on this one. She deserves the max sentence. I can’t imagine even caring about myself at all if I killed a bride on her wedding night. The fact that she isn’t consumed with guilt and remorse is disturbing to say the least.
I’ve just found out that Jamie’s mother struck and killed a firefighter who was standing next to his fire truck in 2013. It was deemed a tragic accident and no charges filed. Perhaps Jamie thinks her case will be treated the same way. 😡
Hearing her mother killed a fire fighter almost made me fall of my chair ! The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Not once did she say how sorry she was , or that one of her victims was still in her wedding dress !! I hope she never gets the chance to ruin another family’s life. My prayers & love go to all of the families that are ruined from her selfish actions. Her parents should have needed to be educated before they had children.
This is one of the saddest, most infuriating cases I have heard in a long time. I am baffled by her entitlement. I truly hope she gets sentenced and spend time behind bars. Thank you for the analysis, Dr. Grande.❤
This is absolutely heartwrenching... When my now ex-wife and I got married, it was one of the greatest days I had had so far, I can't imagine that day turning into the worst of my life... That wretched woman deserves everything she gets and more
Chills, I am horrified on their wedding night. How devastating for the family, friends, and her husband. I am so sorry to hear this ☹️🥺☹️ rest in peace to this woman
My dad lost his best friend in a drunk driving incident. He was 21 and is not the type of man to show his pain or cry. But he broke down crying in front of my mom. He is almost 60 now and it's still hard for him.
This girl is complete denial of what she had done. She doesn't want to take any responsibility--probably never has! My heart goes out to the husband and the families. This is horrible, absolutely horrible.
And look at her photos too, she is always carrying beer cans, so it's obvious how this woman all likes in life is her freaking beer. And the fact that her parents are not even disappointed in her is just disgusting. They don't care that their daughter killed someone, instead they care more in not wanting her to be in jail 😠
@@firemiracle Her dad’s comment about her lawyers was ridiculous. “The best lawyers from Jersey!” or “Best Duo from Jersey”-I forget which, but either way: they’re idiots if they (the parents) believe that these “best lawyers from Jersey” are going to help her out. She’s already screwed-why bother trying?! You know?
Her dad said something like "these things happen" like it has nothing to do with her personally. I say she gets a court appointed lawyer. I wouldn't spend a dime on her. But of course they helped create this ...person.
Well this hurt my soul. I had held out hope that she would be devastated, wrought up, and despondent over killing a bride and crippling her husband’s body and soul on their wedding day. I think I would have ended myself if I had done something like that. But I don’t drink… and I drive like a grandma. But I also appreciate that I could still make a mistake and hurt or kill someone. But after hearing your analysis, I am just sadly angry with this entitled selfish brat. She needs hard consequences. Nothing else will help her understand the severity of her actions. Even years in prison may not address her deep sense self importance. But it would keep her off the streets. Because if this is how she perceives her crime, then she is someone at high risk of reoffending and hurting someone else.
I agree! I hit a 10-year-old little boy because he ran between two parked cars directly in front of my car. 😭 Thank God I was going slowly so the worst thing that happened was he broke his arm when he fell down, but what if I’d been driving just a little faster?! 😳. How could you get up every day knowing your deliberate, reckless action caused someone’s death?
If you can kill a bride in her wedding dress and not want to just hide under a rock for the rest of your life, you're a terrible human.
AGREED
AGREED
AGREED.
To be fair, she does seem to have some shame and remorse, but not enough.
You are a demon if you could do that...
Driving drunk isn't a accident.
Amen! 👏👏👏
This is the point.
It’s definitely a choice!
If you do it enough you get good at it. For 27 years I've driven drunk when it's the most convenient option (maybe twice a month on average). I've even been pulled over drunk (also high on weed and xanax) for things not related to driving. I was able to act normal and have never had a DUI or have been in an accident. I think this is more of a driving ability issue. Lol
@@jamesquinn5281 something to be proud of....*** smh
"Jamie was unharmed". It's just brutal when a drunk driver seems to always survive these horrific accidents that kill others.
It’s because their body does not react fast enough to flinch to brace for impact due to being so drunk, therefore their body is limp and has better chance of less bones breaking and puncturing viral organs. It’s so unfortunate but happens most of the time.
Not only survive, but survived unscathed. Then given lenient consequences.
Because they're drunk and tend to be relaxed.
Pro tip: Just go with the flow next time ur in an accudent
@@dominicdangelo4801 I'll work on that. lol
Dad: “things just happen that way and nothing can be done about it”
No wonder she is the way she is. Nobody in her life taught her about choices and consequences.
That was the most telling line in the whole report. It is a commitment to rejection of accountability. It is exactly why she contends that the thing she did is a thing that happened to her.
Sounds like he never taught her a lesson or gave any punishment. It's like she's never faced any consequences
her parents brought her up that way.
If they didn't want her to be mad at them, of course they would say that. They didn't say she was in the right.
she never once brings up "how are the victim's family, I'm truly sorry for what I've done to them, etc. etc". Not a word of concern for no one but Jamie.
She is as bad as the woman who hit and killed the 2 people walking and saying they hit her car. Then ask the cop if she was gonna be able to go to school the next day. She had no care for them either.
He also made a video on that girl recently too. The lack of empathy or sympathy those two had for the people they killed is just sickening.
Makes you wonder what kind of unfeeling monsters they are because I don't believe alcohol makes you completely uncaring about taking people's lives. That girl who killed 2 people..... just disgusting
I also expect this girl will get a light sentence like that one did.
Both are horrible, selfish narcissists. Wish both would be locked away a long, long time.
I honestly think I'm seeing this lack of empathy and spoiled childish behaviour more and more as this new generation become young adults. There is something about the Internet generation that don't seem to have any common sense and a total lack of empathy to others.
I'm 50 and grew up learning to share , learning hard work and knowing how to live in a civilised society, im not saying all of this generation are horrible selfish brats it just seems some kids don't seem to have any kind of reality to which they live their lives.
It's great having the Internet, social media , all the trappings of modern life , but I'd still rather have grown up in the 70s and 80s and have the common sense to know what reality really is.
I remember being hit by a drunk driver back in 2008 (totaled my car and I’ve had a lifetime of pain) I overheard the guy that hit me talking to his girlfriend on the phone and he was telling her that his life was over. This guy was at the police station and I was there also. He didn’t realize I was standing right there. I overheard him on the phone saying that I was ‘just some Mexican lady’ I was a young girl actually. This story just brought back memories of such a horrible time for me and no remorse from that guy. Just basically nothing was there.
I’m so sorry that happened to you.
I am sorry for everything you've suffered. It's a shock when you realize that there's people among us who just don't care. That's the hardest thing to understand and forgive. Just remember, there are many who do care. Humanity still has hope. Take care!
I’m so sorry, you matter in this world. ❤
what a narcissistic a-hole! So sorry it happened to you. 💖💖
I am so sorry that happened to you. That’s awful 😢
Her mother also struck a fireman in 2013 and killed him with no charges. This somehow gives light on Jamie's erratic behaviour post incident, in her mind she thinks she can get away with murder as well.
Needs life. So sick of people getting away with murder and having drugs &/or alcohol as an excuse for a slap on the wrist.
WTF!😳
Provide the evidence.
Oh wow

Her father is not the voice of reason. He is complicit. He is depraved and partly why she is an entitled murderer today.

Well, the damage has already been done. Her dad cannot undo it, and telling his daughter that she is a miserable human being is not going to be of much help.
(But should she ever get out of jail, it would be good if the people around her start holding her responsible for the things she does.)
Yep. Her self entitled and dangerous behaviors were given to her by her parents!!!
I thought the same thing. Her parents didn’t even counsel her to really think about what she did and how it effected others. They are as bad as her.
@@ronald3836 sorry I disagree. Seems to me that they forgive her for what she did. Nah she needs some discipline and her parents to give her a conscience!
@@evaadams8298 but why now when she is at the absolute low point of her life?
She needs punishment by the state and she will get punished by the state. Why shouldn't her parents, as the only persons she now has left in the world, not stand her by at this time? Everybody else obviously has turned their back to her, and for good reasons.
Later there will be time enough for tough talks.
She only feels sorry for herself, not for the woman she killed. Typical narc.
A selfish narcissistic person. She only care about herself.
Yes. I was surprised Dr. Grande didn’t mention her traits (e.g., believing she was going to be a “genius” in addition to her egregiously inappropriate victim-mentality) of being a grandiose narcissist. She’s exemplified textbook narcissism in several ways, IMO.
not a word of concern for the victim's husband and family. They don't even exist in her world.
Is it true that she is going to skate? Just the thought makes me sick
Drinking and driving sounds just like my little sister. She was like that as a kid even- forget the alcohol. I remember asking my mom for years why it was she didn’t have a conscience when I did at her age.
Thank you, Dr. Grande. I was absolutely stunned that she framed the death as "I can't believe this happened to ME."
No self awareness. To really ask why it would happen when you got in a car drunk and drove twice the speed. Far too many people like this in the world sadly
She’s probably never been held accountable for anything in her life until now. My aunt is kind of like this, my grandmother has done everything for her and wonders why she is utterly incapable of taking responsibility for anything.
As if was just her bad luck.
#bpd
Was she a “christian”?
I saw an interview with the brides husband, he is absolutely broken. This is so heartbreaking. The fact that she shows absolutely no remorse and is only concerned with herself tells me everything I need to know about her. Drunk driving needs a lot harsher punishments. My heat goes out to her husband and family.
It pisses me off that it's considered manslaughter (at least in my state) vs what it actually is which imo, it's FIRST degree murder. People are well aware when they consume alcohol that it's going to affect ALL of their abilities. The second they take that first sip/gulp is the second they knew what their beverage of choice was going to do to them. If the laws were changed and people were now aware that driving drunk would lead to a 1st degree murder charge and sentence I'd bet they'd think twice about getting behind the wheel. Taking someones life only to recieved a few yrs isn't justice. Allowing citizens to have 3+ DUI's on their rap sheet is 2+ DUI's too many. It's time for a change...
Jamie is nothing but a narcissist it’s all about her and bring a victim 🥴🥴
Did all of them get injured? I'm sure all of them had to have been hurt pretty bad.
This is beyond sad and heartbreaking. My fear is that the sentence she will eventually get won't fit the crime. Her father has probably bailed her out of everything she has ever done. Ummm, she is a terrible person, imo. She's also delusional.
@@tammiemartinez6485 it is manslaughter. It isn’t first degree murder . She didn’t mean to do it .yes she was drunk . It was not something she planned to do. It couldn’t be first . Even second degree isn’t right . Most accidents with fatalities are manslaughter’s
My grandfather and best friend were both hit and their lives ended from a drunk driver. I also know 3 people who are paralyzed after being hit by drunk drivers.
I have ZERO sympathy for people who drive drunk.
With there being UBER, Lyft, taxis and public transportation, there is NO EXCUSE for drunk driving.
Oh my gosh… I’m so sorry for your loss. I agree with you wholeheartedly. People who drink and drive are the WORST kind of people. It’s completely unacceptable.
My daughter's dad was also paralyzed after being hit by a drunk driver (woman) while he was riding his bicycle.
Agreed. Isn’t it a sick world we live in, where killers like Jamie are released 1. could care less about their victims and 2. are free to live out their lives with minimal punishment and restitution
With uber and left, there is no excuse whatsoever
The only time I would have sympathy for a driver is if someone had a soft drink spiked, in a similar way to when a perpetrator spikes it with date r*p* drugs where you are unaware of what's going on. Otherwise I think there should be zero tolerance to drink-driving. A zero or extremely low limit, where if you've had any alcohol, you don't drive.
" This seems like a good idea for a plea deal. Jamie gets released when she's considered a genius, making her punishment a life sentence" I love that line... and the way he delivers it so seriously!!!! This guy really does have some of the best one liners on the internet!
I can bet the Doctor will not get Christmas cards from Jamie.
Yes, and he's so deadpan!
Her father isn't calling a spade a spade. He's softening everything for her. This brings me to an understanding of Komoroski's lack of accountability and narcissistic tendencies.
Obviously, he sucks as a parent.
Yep, mommy and daddy made and raised their little princess to be that way.
Her parents should be partly responsible for her behavior. They have spoiled her most of her life, resulting her prison.
@@williamlouie569 I remember a case in Long Island NY in about 2005-2006 where a drunk driver killed a flower girl due to a drunk driving car accident. He was driving a pick up truck that his parents had bought him so he would be okay if he had a car crash (I believe had lost his license due to dui). HIs mother had the audacity to make a comment to the mother of the flower girl along the lines of something like, "Please don't let the judge give my son a life sentence you know what is like to lose a child." And the mom of the flower girl said something like, "Your son is still alive, I will never hold my littler girl again because of choices your son made!" The parents of these drivers who enable their behavior should be sent to jail.
Yeah he seems like he’s trying to sound stern because he knows they let her get away with too much. He even hired attorneys for her. My parents would have disowned me if I accidentally killed someone. They told me in high school that if o ever got arrested I was on my own unless I could prove it was a false arrest. Hell, they didn’t even defend me if I got caught skipping class. My dad told the principal ‘don’t worry. She’s in trouble here, too.’ People who act like this either have no family, or their families do things like hire top attorneys and keep them in the family.
Exactly. I did a year in jail because I got 3 dui’s in 13 months. I deserved every bit of my punishment,and I never hurt anyone thank god. I learned my lesson and realized how absolutely dangerous and selfish it really is. I don’t drink anymore, and it isn’t something I miss at all.
What is 3 dui?

i can’t imagine being a teacher.
Children have free will and their personalities/ behaviors are influenced by many factors like genetics, environment, peer groups and over all temperament. Not just how the parents raised them. Blaming her parents also diminishes Jamie's accountability, provides an excuse which may enable these behaviors to continue.
As a teacher you have the chance to influence these kids, maybe help them out.
@@jeffk464 Teachers don't have nearly enough time with a student to be a major influence, unless an individual student is particularly receptive.

Its unbelieveable really. Poor thing
Melissa Marvin got 80 years in prison for a dui wreck killing 4 young people in '99. She, at least, showed remorse (after sobering up) when realizing what she had done. This Komoroski girl is really something else. I get her being a jerk while still bombed out of her mind, but to sober up and still be unable to grasp what she has done or care about it in the least is horrendous.

Oh, please. She should go to prison, for sure. But learn the meaning of the word "intent". Did Alec Baldwin _intend_ to kill his cinematographer?
It's good that the recordings of her calls exist so at least the jury will have a fair idea of the type of person she is.
He didn't say bad things happen to good people. He just says bad things happen to people.
White woman privilege
"I can't believe this is my life and my whole life is going to be over." , "I just can't believe this happened to me." This is a very infuriating character. She goes through life believing that things only happen to her without any decision-making or personal responsibility. Not even one thought about the innocents she harmed.
Exactly. Things to happen to her. She does things that have bad consequences.
Very true!
She's a spoiled brat. People need to stop raising spoiled brats.
She is a self serving narcissist who only cares about how this affected her! What about the poor woman who lost her life on her wedding day? What about her groom, mother, father and family who were so happy on the day of the wedding and who hours later had to mourn her death??? No, she must go to jail for many years and go and learn the word empathy!!!
@@shereens1463 Learning what the word empathy means isn't going to help. She wasn't taught empathy by her parents. It's not a natural phenomena, it's early learned behavior that if not instilled by a certain age, is nearly impossible to develop in adulthood.
I can't imagine what the coroner felt among the rest of them. Caring for a dead woman still in her bridal gown, gut wrenching.
Iit made me think about the coroner cutting a white dress covered in blood with scissors and then how it should've been - a loving husband taking it off on their first night. I can't believe this really happened
@@dr.princess832 This is a horrible tragedy. I can't fathom the husband's suffering 😥
@@dr.princess832 We once had the vicar still in his robes arrive at our hospital mortuary after he fell down dead in the middle of the wedding ceremony. That was very sad for him, his family and the wedding couple, but this death is the worst kind of tragedy imaginable. Bad enough to be killed by a drunk driver at any time, let alone on your wedding night, but this particular driver is an abysmal excuse for a human.

Totally!
Jamie is a perfect example of what happens when you don't discipline children or raise them with accountability.
Or what happens when you are so harsh to your children that they completely reject everything you taught them - we don't know.
@nnnik Listening to what has been said in phone calls and what has happened in this case, after this entitled, selfish, brat of a woman got drunk & killed a young bride & injured 3 others...yeah, we know. Hearing her interactions with her parents as an adult gives a clear view into how she was raised.
@@djholliday5132 listened further along and in this case they probably never gave her accountability. On the other hand I have a friend whose parents were always strict and harsh to unreasonable levels. He now sells drugs on the street
Okay seriously though Ive seen countless shit about how to parent or not how to parent. Find what works, dont be a pushover. You can read plenty of books that tell you to be srtrict or be handa off or whatever. Theres absolutely no way to know which is best
Find a balance thats all, too much or too little to extremes can cause bad behavior
@Dynoids I'm a parent of 3. My oldest is almost 19. I have never read a book related to parenting. I tell my kids I love them daily & have been affectionate with them since birth. I GIVE respect & EXPECT respect. I apologize to teach them we all make mistakes. I took what I learned from my own parents & grandparents. I kept the good and didn't memick what I didn't like. Aiming to raise kids who are good people, consider the feelings of others, accept responsibility & consequences, not to lie, steal, hit & be mean & nasty, and basically raising them not to be azzholes is the goal. Parents no longer teach empathy or discipline. That's why humanity & society has eroded into the insanity we see now.
Her parents raised her to be that way , she sounds like no one has ever told her no or taught her how to be humble or responsible
All females use the parents trope to divert everybody from the actual reason....feminism!
I agree, but some people, like Chump, are born narcissists. My mother was one, as is my older brother.
Imagine gathering for a beautiful family wedding and the very next day having to go to a funeral of the very same bride. It’s horrible and evil
Omg😢😢😢
I doubt the funeral was next day , probably weeks later .
@@devanwiechthe victim blaming is actually pathetic and disgusting. They were operating the cart LEGALLY. The DRUNK IDIOT DRIVER was BREAKING THE LAW.
The parents should’ve told her blatantly that she’s a drunk driver. She’s worried about her life being over, yet the bride she killed didn’t get to live her whole like as a wife & a mother, if she planned on having kids. It’s a terrible tragedy.
Her mother killed a firefighter 10 years ago driving drunk. Doubtful they'll reprimand her at all.
As an alcoholic, I can assure you it would not have helped and, in fact, only made things worse. I mean, calling someone a "drunk driver" would naturally make anyone defensive, and besides, she already knows she has a problem and is doing everything she can to try (however unsuccessfully) to hide it and live in denial. Unfortunately, she has to hit rock bottom before she decides it's finally time to take control of her life. And "Why me?" are the words of someone who obviously doesn't feel like she's in control.
@@iammedusa2600 Stop lying. Her mother wasn't drunk when that accident happened. Lying doesn't help anyone, unless your intention is to get the pitchfork bearers even more rarked up.
I have no idea what sort of people her parents were - possibly enablers since the daughter is such a brat - but that does not make them liable for what she has done, and does not make a terrible but all too common accident from years prior anything more than that.

@@enjoystraveling EXACTLY! One is bad, but BOTH is worse. She killed someone. She should be in jail, or better yet, REHAB!
I wonder who was paying for that car. Annoying..
my mom would've killed me herself!! What a disgusting 'dad'
In my youth. I drank drunk after a terrible divorce. My car flipped. Later I read A young girl just a mile down died two weeks before. Her car flipped on her! She was coming home late from college. It’s a wavy road with a long tunnel. She was Not drinking.
To this day I’m happy that my car did not kill anyone. A voice told me it will be ok. Just relax. Everything went in slow motion. Even tho I was going 100 miles! All of the anger and tears got in the way. Please don’t drink and drive! Hard to do when intoxicated tho. It’s like your sense is out the window!
This is what happens when parents raise and encourage a spoiled, entitled child who only cares about herself and her image. It’s clear she’s never been held accountable for her actions. She is still whining like a child even though she’s an adult. It’s all about her. Congratulations, parents. You raised a disgusting human being.
Right, but the older generation always blames the children. And yes, I get that they need to get their shit together as adults and undo what was done to them, but if the parents enable it for so long, how exactly do they pull that off?
OR this is what happens when parents do not provide love, affection, and guidance.
@@steffaniepetroni1766 nah. This is pure spoiled, entitled behavior.
Guidance and consequences are what's missing. As a young parent myself it disgusts me when other parents baby their children forever. We're supposed to raise them to grow up, not to become adult babies.
That whole parental dynamic sounds very enabling for sure. The father doesn’t take the situation seriously either. Yes, she is awful but it sounds like she comes by it VERY honestly. Her parents are out to lunch too.
Omg... this is so horrible. I just can't imagine seeing your daughter, sister, friend etc absolutely glowing with life and being told a few hours later she was dead. This is absolutely heart breaking. And the fact she takes zero responsibility or accountability for her actions and seems completely disconnected from the horrendous thing she did... those new jersey attorneys need to tell her parents to stop visiting her lol
No concern for the woman she killed and what the husband, of only a few hours, and families are going through. Don't think anyone is going to view her as less than a selfish, irresponsible, horrible person even after she does her time. 10 years for killing someone else isn't enough time, regardless of the time tacked onto that for the other crimes.
It must be a frigging nightmare for the family.

She should get life w/o parole. I’m not convinced she won’t do this again
She sounds like a horrible person. I was hit by a drunk driver with my young son in the car and it changed my life forever in very negative ways. Thank you Dr Grande for not having sympathy for the perpetrator and for really explaining how devastating this truly is for the victim and her family💔

I'm so sorry that you and your child went through that. I hope you can find some way towards healing.
Thank you Dr. Grande for standing up against the proliferation of New Jersey.
Still embarassed I used to enjoy Jersey Shore.
I had a friend killed by a drunk driver 25 years ago and it changed my life. It also, of course, changed the lives of his wife and children. The effects of a shocking tragedy like this truly can't be quantified. My heart is broken for the loved ones of this bride and groom. What an awful tragedy.
Very very sorry 💔

Her narcissism is sickening. To imagine the bride's family celebrating one minute and grieving a horrific, avoidable loss the next. As you pointed out, Jamie's complete lack of empathy is revolting.

I hope the groom and his bride's family can find peace. While Jamie stays in prison.
Dr. Grande, please never lose your sense of humour. These cases are brutal and often absurd, and your jokes and sarcasm make it educational and amazingly funny at the same time. Perfection! ❤
Totally agree! Loved the NJ commentary 😊
His deadpan delivery is epic! 😂
My cousin was killed by a drunk driver the day after her 24th birthday. She was in her own front yard and was pregnant with her second child at the time. This topic is incredibly serious. I really appreciate when you talk about drunk driving cases.
To add some details: my cousin’s 2 year old daughter was also hit by this driver and she luckily recovered physically. My cousin’s husband found his wife and child in the road and had to witness his wife die. The driver initially got out of his car to see what he hit, then got back in his car and fled the scene. He was later found hiding in a shed.
This man later showed remorse, but remorse cannot undo a death. He took 2 lives and destroyed his own future.
I recently had a friend of my husband’s admit to us that he had driven around while drinking an entire 12 pack of beer in an afternoon. I didn’t even know what to say.
Pregnant and killed by some idiot drinking and driving that hurts my heart to hear. I am sorry for your loss. Losses.
And if anyone tells me they drink and drive at this point in my life I won’t be friends with them anymore. I am embarrassed I used to drive after drinking one or two drinks with dinner or Sunday during football games - young and stupid and glad I didn’t hurt or kill anyone. I don’t drink anymore and it’s crazy to see how socially accepted and expected it is, and we wonder why these things keep happening. Look at any beer commercial and it’s pretty much glorified and made trendy especially to the younger generation.

My mother was the same - a narcissist who always believed she was a victim. She had 4 DWIs, none of which were her fault (according to her).
Narcissists have bred quite a bit over the past 6-12 decades. The wealthy families tend to do the most societal damage. But since they're rich, there isn't anything that can't be nullified by coin, connections, clout, crews, computer code, communities, and opportunities. People like Bezoz, Zuck, Chump, Theranos chick, Amber Heard, Wil Smith, etc. all get free passes! 💪😎✌️

They sound like a family of unaccountable, narcissistic drunks.
@@tunasandwich8049I knew people who had more than that and still out to drink some more.
Drunks drink until death.
This case was a nightmare from start to finish. It’s amazing that Jamie seems to have no actual guilt for killing an innocent woman in her wedding dress. These events are a startling reminder that we need to hold the ones we love close and never take them for granted, because we never know what might happen. Thanks Dr. Grande.
These events are a startling reminders of how a drug damages and kills Its time we stop looking at alcohol as ::fun: Its a drug and one that many are addicted to That boozing it up is cool (her pictures kind of sum that all up) Its disgusting She is and was disgusting and her Dad appeared to be a huge part of her problem - Perhaps if we actually punished people who drink and drive and killed someone just maybe there would be less of it going on ...maybe?
You are awesome thank you
This is one of the saddest stories I’ve ever heard. Can’t imagine how hard it is for her family and her poor husband. Let’s hope they throw the book at her, Samantha should have been enjoying one of the happiest days of her life instead she lost her whole future because of someone else’s selfish actions. RIP Samantha and deepest condolences to your poor family 😢
As a sober alcoholic pf 17 years I can tell you that one of the hardest things to do is convince another alcoholic that THEY are the problem NOT the alcohol.
that’s for alcoholics who refuse to take accountability. i’m sure it’s a problem in other parts of their life too.
i’m an alcoholic but i know it’s my behavior and choices that lead me to issues, not the inanimate bottle of liquid on the counter.
that's one of the things AA drums into you too.
i was only drinking for like 8 months but it quickly got out of hand. my dads a lifer and still drinking 10 beers a day, i promise i would never be like him.. then i got a job at a liquor store getting everything at whole sale prices.. i can see how one would slip into the hole. one thing i never did was do or justify drunk driving in any capacity. absolutely ridiculous
Just like you started drinking when in that environment you would start driving drunk after a while of being drunk all the time. We’re talking about alcoholics lots of us drink before we brush our teeth. 6 years clean from booze in August. The root of the problem is us but I would never say and I have never heard anyone say the alcohols not the problem. It’s not the cause of the problem it’s a symptom but it is most definitely a problem haha
When her dad said they’re doing everything they can I jokingly thought “lemme guess it’s not enough for her” and when SHE ACTUALLY SAID THAT 😧
This is such a sad story!!! That girl should be feeling tremendous grief instead of feeling sorry for herself!!
Thank you so much for covering this, I’m from here, my parents live on folly beach, the whole community is a wreck over this. The whole island is 25 mph and even going 30 feels fast, I can’t imagine going 65 + like the killer was. (Yes she’s a killer) and to hit and kill someone on the happiest night of their lives at that😭 the brides family and the groom has been in all of our thoughts and prayers. I hope she gets life in prison for this.
I’m hoping so… her damn enabler father will try and get her a fraction of the sentence she deserves.
I’m local too and I was baffled to read she was going 65, I can’t even imagine. Really hoping she gets the harshest sentencing possible, I can’t believe she’s acting as if SHE is the victim 😣
I can’t imagine her husband going home to an empty house 😢 it breaks my heart

It shows how desensitized people have become by the death of another human being !!! This is so heart breaking! !!! 😢.
"I can't believe my life is going to be over" yeah, that tends to happen when you make someone else's life be over
Her dad is definitely part of the problem to not be angry at her for drunk driving.
Would it have helped to be angry?
Dad is clearly an enabler for
“his baby girl” who apparently,
“can do no wrong.” He’s doing what he’s always done, ever since his daughter was born: never letting her take responsibility for her actions or face the full consequences that come with those actions.

My god, this just shatters my soul. I can’t imagine that husband’s broken heart. That sweet bride was still in her wedding dress when she died.
I’m sure her parents are proud of the clearly fine human they raised. This is the second case in weeks in which the intoxicated driver claims they are the victim and it’s truly disgusting
“Bringing New Jersey to anywhere should be its own charge…” LOL I’m not often that tickled by Dr. Grande’s humor but that KILLED me!!!! Seriously I’m dead
He shows 'humor'? I must have missed it.
This story is about to make me throw up, thinking about how many lives she destroyed💔
Including her own! Even when she gets out of jail no one’s gonna wanna hire her, date her, be her friend, etc. Even still, at least she gets to see another day, unlike her victim. 💔
Her family has highly contributed to her self centeredness. I really hope she goes in for a long long time. She hasn't even once mentioned how guilty she feel for killing someone!
There was a brief window of awareness where she told the cops/guards that she didn't deserve to eat or drink. I think she's still delusional and it's understandable. Alcoholism is a terrible illness :(

@@MariaLopez-hc2nmSociety especially western society which includes the parents is to blame. Parents also need to be on the same page. In my asian muslim semi devout household, i the mother am the bad cop/villain.
I committed the same crime when I was 22. I was just incredibly lucky that nothing happened. Someone (maybe the bartender) called the police because they knew I was drunk off my ass and would be driving home. So it was easy for them to take me out of circulation. I am sooo grateful to the person who reported me to LE. I am still ashamed to this day when I think about it. I probably could not have lived with myself having killed someone through my criminal behavior. I had to surrender my driver's license for 6 months and pass a psychological test to get it back. Today I'm over 40 and I would try to stop anyone who wanted to drive drunk. An alcohol measurement method should be developed that is linked to starting a vehicle so that the engine only starts when the driver is sober. Of course, even such a device could be fooled, but it would still be an additional hurdle. I encourage everyone to call the police if they witness someone getting behind the wheel drunk.
And now to the person we are talking about here. Her attitude leaves me speechless. What a despicable behavior! Someone should urgently make her realize that she is a murderer.
It is an unbelievable tragedy and I am very sorry for all the relatives and friends of Samantha. I wish them all a lot of strength. This wound will never heal.

Never wanted to "shake" some sense into a person as much as this and the other drunk driving murderer. Vile obnoxious little princesses. I hope they both get equally vile bunk mates who make their whole stay in jail a misery because they certainly won't do as much time as they should for extinguishing peoples lives and walking away with barely a scratch
I agree. If Samantha's husband dies, self-absorbed little Jamie will be on her way to prison for the rest of her life.
I hope she gets to eat warm meatballs in prison until she's 65. I'm being nice for saying 65 year old. She's disgust me. That's what happened when you rise your children with money and not with brain. Throw away the key.

That phone call should be enough to keep her in jail for life. She's literally a danger to society
Wow, she is VERY childish and spoiled. Disturbing lack of empathy as well.

Exactly! Alcohol just makes it easier for others to see if someone has anger issues or is a selfish brat.
The ironic part is the older generation talks about how spoiled the youth is. Who raised them? Read the NYP articles about her and it sounds like her father is a coddling bitch. He's got to AT LEAST be a Gen-X'er.

She sure as hell did!
Was just thinking of this case. She makes me ill w/her comments. Dad seems part of the problem, catering to a narcissist. Excellent analysis, inflections, quips. Thanks Dr G😊💙💙

Exactly. If he can hire those NJ attorneys, then it would be reasonable to assume that she has lived a life of wealth and privilege, a life she received rather than worked for. Her parents come off as so tone deaf in the recordings.

" Jaimie would be released when she becomes a genius" This would be a life sentence... Lol DR G. is hilarious!!!
I wish the becoming a genius part was a real sentence. You can imagine the annual parole hearing "nope, still as dumb as a bag of rocks"
2:39 “She was still wearing her wedding dress when she died” brought me to tears, shoots pain into my heart. Praying for the bride and groom ❤️
This saddened me Sam was so happy she looked so beautiful she didn't want the night to end just for that pos to take it all away no fairytale no children all gone ...
Ik 😢 poor widowed hubby
I did many stupid things in my youth but the things she did and later her reactions to what she did are mindboggling.
Did you ever drive under the influence? If you did, then this could have happened to you. (I'm not saying you did!)
I understand Jamie's "why me" as "of all the many many thousands of irresponsible people who happily drive while being intoxicated, why did it have to be me that ended up killing a person"?
I'm astounded by how much she's made it clear that she only cares about how people perceive her. It doesn't seem like there's any thoughts towards what the loved ones of Samantha are going through right now. And her talking about making an apology was so heartless. She's not sorry for killing someone, she just wants to say that she is in the hopes that people "won't be hard on her". What a vile woman.
Like every criminal, she's sorry only because she has to face consequences.
She's not getting that people are going to view her much worse now because of all her unfiltered thoughts and trying to escape responsibility. Having people's anger is obviously not fun, but she should know that it's understandable in this case. She just needs to face it now.
"Say an apology" - that sums up the mindset of this sociopath.
I have a relative like Jamie, who never takes responsibility for the damages she causes while drunk. Basically, she’s a blackout drunk and has no memory of her horrible behavior, and doesn’t want to know.
People love using alcohol as an excuse to act wild.
Off her
I live in a rooming house and there's a lady here right now like that she drinks excessively and mixes the alcohol with prescription pills methadone and heroin does some crazy abusive shit and then when she wakes up the next day she's forgotten everything. If we're lucky someone will tell her what she did and she says a half hearted apology and thinks everything will go back to normal and that we won't be upset with her anymore but alot of the time she doesn't even apologise. 2 days ago she was screaming all day and night abusing people and even assaulted a 52 year old lady drawing blood then she called the cops crying saying she was the victim and the 52 year old attacked her and she wanted to press charges. Luckily we have cctv and there were witnesses otherwise the older lady she attacked would have gotten arrested/charged.
I have a very close friend exactly like that. It’s impossibly sad to watch her continue to exist in a blacked-out state and the atrocious, irresponsible and incredibly dangerous things she continues to do. They don’t pay attention to you, talk in loops, and literally have zero recollection of anything they do. Even sexually. It’s terrifying, really.
@@user-AAAA978 she's been shown cctv and audio recordings of some of the things she does and it doesn't make her embarrassed it just makes her very angry.
I feel very sad for the husband who lost his wife. Just married and widowed too soon.For the bride's family and friends. This is a horrific tragedy. Prayers for them 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭
@juanocampo2262no he was injured. The bride was the only one killed.
That broad is DISGUSTING. You KILLED A HUMAN BEING ON WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST DAY OF HER LIFE. The conversation she was having in jail tells me everything the jury needs to know about her. Lock her up , and throw away the keys
Absolutely! 💯%
It’s not a “freak accident” when you choose to drive drunk! Lock her up for a very long time!
She is speaking like a child who is punished at school, she literally is living in her own childish, narcissistic and spoiled, selfish brain, I couldn't help laugh when she said she wasn't allowed to hold the remote control, ive never been to any prison but even I'm wise enough to know you don't get to choose your own personal TV channel choice when you want.
I am so angry though when I actually think of the crime she committed, so sad that people's lives are ruined and a woman lost her life after the happiest day of their lives , because this ignorant adult child was drinking and driving, I hope she gets the book thrown at her and does 20 plus years.
My fear is her family has money and can afford the best defence team and she ends up doing a couple of years, less time spent , which by the time it gets to trial means she walks away free.
Does not understand.....will not understand. Cannot understand....time will teach her....its a death of turmoil. For her....oh vater im himmel. The human condition
I am ashamed to say I had a DUI crash over 20 years ago. I had a .30 BAC level and it was believed I passed out at the wheel. Thankfully I only hurt a telephone pole and tree. My skin crawled for years after that wreck bc the thought that I could've hurt someone ate me alive. I couldn't sleep without sleeping pills. I was required to complete rehab. I have not made that mistake ever again. I couldn't imagine thinking of only myself and the consequences if I'd hurt someone in my condition.
A little thought before from these people would be nice. Never will understand how stupid most people are.
Forgive yourself.
Maybe you would if you were facing decades in prison - give her a break, she is obviously terrified and immature!!!
@@rosa104I ain’t giving her no kind of break. She’s got a history of drinking excessively and making terrible decisions. She deserves to rot in jail for many years. She became this way because she was given too many breaks in life.
@@rosa104 that's no excuse for Jamie. I hope she gets at least 20 years.
My best friend died due to a speeding driver. He wasn't drunk, just chronically late for work and on his last warning.
One rainy morning he was late again and speeding. He lost control of his car and killed my 23 year old friend.
He got of scott free. Not even a warning or probation period.
Just, thank you, you may go.
Cases like this make my blood boil!
He should have been charged with reckless homicide or vehicular manslaughter. So sorry for the loss of your friend. 😢
@@lauraelliott6909 Thank you.
We were just as surprised about the outcome. The whole justice system is a joke
If you killed someone because of speeding or dui, there should be an automatic prison time. The courts care more for the perpetrators than the victims & their families. I hate this.
Oh no, I m sorry. That's outrageous!
I love the little bits of humor you add into the stories makes me laugh😊
I actually agree with “dr” G on this one. She deserves the max sentence. I can’t imagine even caring about myself at all if I killed a bride on her wedding night. The fact that she isn’t consumed with guilt and remorse is disturbing to say the least.
She’s up for 25 years. I’m honestly praying she gets sentenced to that.
I’ve just found out that Jamie’s mother struck and killed a firefighter who was standing next to his fire truck in 2013. It was deemed a tragic accident and no charges filed. Perhaps Jamie thinks her case will be treated the same way. 😡
Wtf how do you kill a firefighter standing next to his truck…how horrible and no wonder Jamie is a horrible person
Family of killers. They are a menace to society!
What a horrible family!😡
That’s so tragic 😢
What??? I can’t believe he didn’t bring this up in the video. Crazy connection
Hearing her mother killed a fire fighter almost made me fall of my chair ! The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Not once did she say how sorry she was , or that one of her victims was still in her wedding dress !! I hope she never gets the chance to ruin another family’s life. My prayers & love go to all of the families that are ruined from her selfish actions. Her parents should have needed to be educated before they had children.
This is one of the saddest, most infuriating cases I have heard in a long time. I am baffled by her entitlement. I truly hope she gets sentenced and spend time behind bars.
Thank you for the analysis, Dr. Grande.❤
She needs at least 20 years
She needs to stay in jail until that bride walks out of her grave !
@@kjh6903 her attitude would justify that.
This is absolutely heartwrenching... When my now ex-wife and I got married, it was one of the greatest days I had had so far, I can't imagine that day turning into the worst of my life... That wretched woman deserves everything she gets and more
Chills, I am horrified on their wedding night. How devastating for the family, friends, and her husband. I am so sorry to hear this ☹️🥺☹️ rest in peace to this woman
My dad lost his best friend in a drunk driving incident. He was 21 and is not the type of man to show his pain or cry. But he broke down crying in front of my mom. He is almost 60 now and it's still hard for him.
This girl is complete denial of what she had done. She doesn't want to take any responsibility--probably never has! My heart goes out to the husband and the families. This is horrible, absolutely horrible.
And look at her photos too, she is always carrying beer cans, so it's obvious how this woman all likes in life is her freaking beer. And the fact that her parents are not even disappointed in her is just disgusting. They don't care that their daughter killed someone, instead they care more in not wanting her to be in jail 😠
@@firemiracle Her dad’s comment about her lawyers was ridiculous. “The best lawyers from Jersey!” or “Best Duo from Jersey”-I forget which, but either way: they’re idiots if they (the parents) believe that these “best lawyers from Jersey” are going to help her out. She’s already screwed-why bother trying?! You know?
Her dad said something like "these things happen" like it has nothing to do with her personally. I say she gets a court appointed lawyer. I wouldn't spend a dime on her. But of course they helped create this ...person.
@@christinehutchins123 he's clearly trying to comfort her, but they all know it's over for her.
@@firemiracle this is the epitome of being used to getting away with vile behaviour . Crabs in a barrel
Well this hurt my soul. I had held out hope that she would be devastated, wrought up, and despondent over killing a bride and crippling her husband’s body and soul on their wedding day. I think I would have ended myself if I had done something like that. But I don’t drink… and I drive like a grandma. But I also appreciate that I could still make a mistake and hurt or kill someone.
But after hearing your analysis, I am just sadly angry with this entitled selfish brat. She needs hard consequences. Nothing else will help her understand the severity of her actions. Even years in prison may not address her deep sense self importance. But it would keep her off the streets. Because if this is how she perceives her crime, then she is someone at high risk of reoffending and hurting someone else.
I agree! I hit a 10-year-old little boy because he ran between two parked cars directly in front of my car. 😭 Thank God I was going slowly so the worst thing that happened was he broke his arm when he fell down, but what if I’d been driving just a little faster?! 😳. How could you get up every day knowing your deliberate, reckless action caused someone’s death?
