I lost my left leg to a drink driver in 1992. I had only been married for four months. People who drink and drive need to realise that the car they are driving is a weapon of complete destruction. They should be punished accordingly.
So glad she got the max sentence. This selfish little creature had NO remorse. In her jailhouse phone calls with her dad, she actually said, "Why'd this have to happen to me?" She thinks SHE is the victim. She deserves to rot away in prison.
@@goodbadbill No it can't happen to me - or anyone else who knows how severe the crime is, people might not think rationally when drunk but they do still know right from wrong, the only thing that leads to a drunk getting behind the wheel of a car is them thinking that it's harmless to do so, the sort of people who even when sober would say "It's a harmless crime, cops should be chasing the real bad guys!" If you want to stop drink driving then you need to hammer it home to kids early on that it can kill, and you need to stop glorifying drink driving on TV - I've never seen a single show in the UK where you have people at a bar drinking before jumping in their car yet this scene is prevalent in a lot of US shows and movies, making it look as though it is a socially acceptable crime.
I'm shocked at the sentence. 25 years is pretty high for the crime, though I suppose she did get credit for time served. I'm not familiar with the details of the case, but I'd wager that either she had priors or her BAC was particularly high. That's the only explanation that would make sense for the sentence.
My husband was killed by a drunk driver in England and the killer only got 24 months in prison, He is already free. Yet the British justice system will get you longer in jail for saying hurty words online. This country is gone.
So sorry about what happened to your husband and the knock on effects to you and your families. My dad was murdered by drunken drivers racing each other. I was two and my sister was three. No prison time as it was the early 50s, there was no law for drunken drivers then. In my mind it is murder to get into a vehicle whilst drunk because the car becomes a weapon.
Sorry for your husbands death, I agree with you on the 24 months in jail as ridiculously low…Can you explain what you mean about hurty words ?, that doesn’t make sense and can you give an example because I don’t agree with your statement..In some cases inciting others like the thug Tommy 10 names was jailed but this man has a long history with the law..America has got far worse right wing violent scumbags like Trumps MAGA kkkult …
The woman I loved was killed by a drunk driver Christmas Eve. The guy got 5 years. Most people I tell that too think it's not long enough. The sentencing was in April and we had time to learn the drunk drivers story. He was an older man who had never been in trouble with the law. The only person that sat on his side of the courtroom was his glass employer where he had worked for 25 years. The accident could have just as easily been caused by a regular person. It was sad for everyone there that day. In the end, I felt bad for him and how his life would never be the same. I still think about her and wonder how my life would have been different. I wish god hadn't made me an atheist so I could believe I will meet her in heaven.
Words of sympathy are no use to you i expect, but this is not an unusual thing to occur, with the prisons being full the judges are instructed on sentences given, you have recently seen 4000 released early, just to make way for others, the courts have a backlog of 70000 cases with i believe only 2 new prisons under construction. This is a prime case of Government mismanagement.
Shattered lives due to no fault of yours --Killing whilst under the influence of alcohol is tantamount to murder in my view and the sentencing should reflect that.
@@naomiemoore5725I disagree. Have you ever reasoned with a drunk person. I didn't think so. Yes we all know that drinking and driving is dangerous. Because you're impaired. What's impaired your brain you're incapable of reasonable decisions. But this is a wedding and many perhaps all were drinking. And she knew he was drinking and perhaps she was also. A sad situation really. Because none of this would've happened if all weren't drinking. Man over the years I seen my friends and family make stupid decisions while drunk. And if I'm there no one is driving. You know instead of coat checks why not check your keys at a bar. At the end of the night when you need your keys a decision will be made on your ability to drive. Same with having a family get together. Keys please. We all have to be responsible. Being drunk isn't an excuse. So many lives lost by good people that were drunk and somehow end up behind the wheel of a vehicle. And the next day when the head clears. Your whole world is upside down. No I really do believe in giving people a chance especially the first time. And looking at all circumstances. Is there family who's the provider so many lives through no fault of theirs. So many things to consider. I understand the hurt both sides. If it's a repeat then by all means there are no second chances. Good people bad choices leaves us with hard decisions.
The person killed life is over. In 25 years, she won't get her life back. With all the rides available there's absolutely no reason to drink and drive. My mom was killed by a drunk driver when l was 3. As child when l was in elementary school, l would br so sad at the gifts or Mother's Day Tea for all the moms.
I watched the conversation on court TV between her and her dad a few different times from jail. And they were laughing and cutting up and joking like nothing was wrong. While the mom of the victim is bawling her eyes out because she has to bury her daughter that was killed on her wedding day. Justice has been served
Yes I saw that too and either one is laughing now you can tell just be the way the dad was speaking to her that she has been coddled and spoiled her whole life. Now he can spend this time visiting her in prison and hopefully this experience will just as much of a WAKEUP CALL for him as it is for her.
@@marwatson7408 She was a 4.0 college student because she applied herself to her studies and you don't know anything about Jamie's whole life. Seriously, did you have a crystal ball on her 24/7? Her father was trying to encourage his daughter who did something "very stupid" and "very, very, VERY bad" (according to him) and he also told her to "learn to buck up and bear it". His daughter just ruined her life and destroyed others (in a worldly view) and everyone was hating on her.... so he tried to make her laugh when she probably spent most of her time in jail sobbing. There's NOTHING wrong with that. She's his daughter and if it was your daughter in her place, you would probably do the same unless you have -0- compassion.
Truth17john17 Her family knew she had a drinking problem and not once did they try to intervene and get her some help. I believe one of her siblings mentioned that at her bail hearing . The way she was throwing a hissy fit when she was in there and whine about spending 15 years or more years in prison. Not once did she mention the woman she killed and the lives that she has ruined including her own. All she did was talk about herself and complain about her food she is in jail not a five star hotel. Why is it everyone is getting why she is in prison but her it’s like she not taking responsibility. People make mistakes screwing up a cooking recipe is a mistake, getting behind the wheel of a car drunk and plowing into people not a mistake. The bars and restaurants are just as much to blame she was bar hopping all day and you mean to tell me not waitress/waiter or bartender saw that she was intoxicated. They got sue as well and you can tell the groom and two other family members that got hit still have a long road to recovery. The groom made the comment at her sentencing that he has seen more Drs in the last year and a half of his life than he has ever seen in his entire lifetime . As for my daughter I tried to instill in my children to take responsibility for their actions and told them the same thing my mother told me a car is not a toy driving is a privilege not a right and you can have that privilege taken away from you.
@@Truth17John17She was probably crying because of the consequences not out of remorse. She was acting like a literal child, completely clueless and remorseless about what she had done. She was acting as if she had punched someone in the face or something minor.
.... which makes the tragedy more horrific, hence more newsworthy, and the main reason Jamie is hated above all other DUI drivers who caused fatalities, unfortunately for Jamie.
@@Truth17John17BUT it was a murder none the less though. Im happy she’s behind bars where she belongs no matter how many comments you leave defending this drunk bish
That’s not how the law works tho in every state in my state u only get 5 yrs for this crime I’ve seen it on 2nd and 3rd dui offenses where they end up actually hurting ending someone’s life they still get the 5 yrs
@@Laborchet she wasnt the only party at fault. The bar that settled for a million dollars with the family. She admited guilt, biggest mistake of her life and she probably cant remember judge giving her the max sentence is weird since she plead guilty
@@LolaKomis I hope you are being sarcastic. If not go listen to those jail calls she had with her father. Also, where did I say that I hated her? I just stated facts.
This poor, foolish woman. All she had to do was call a taxi to take her home, and that night would’ve been one of an inconvenience not death. Now her life is pretty much over. Let’s hope this tragedy gives other young men and women pause before they drive drunk.
Life without parole. Once she thought she was not being seen she was arguing over her sentence. No tears or remorse. This was MURDER. She chose to drink heavily and drive.
I have no pity for this woman. She robbed the family of their time with their daughter. This woman should have gotten life without parole. A lot of crying isn't going to get you off little girl. My thoughts and prayers go out to the bride's family.
You're a praying person? Who do you pray to -- the God of the Bible? Because He has mercy on Jamie. She and her family are redeemable according to Him. He is a grace-giving God who knows Jamie needs mercy and grace. My thoughts and prayers go out to every single person involved in this horrific tragedy, including Jamie.
I had a cousin killed by a drink driver many years ago on Christmas Eve just 6 weeks before her wedding. Drink drive killers should be charged with murder. The one in my cousins case got 8 years and a 4 year driving ban. When he got out he complained to the police when my cousins brothers re-arranged his facial features and helped him to not worry about what tooth paste to use. The gratitude of people......smh.
She the defendant looks shocked!! But you were drunk behind the wheel and killed an innocent woman did you think the judge would let you get away with her death?
She’s looking for her daddy. She spent most of her jail calls whining to him. Maybe if her parents had given her consequences growing up she wouldn’t be this useless waste of space we see in this video today. A completely useless family, in general.
I think God is the judge of her heart we all made mistakes in life it doesn't mean she's a bad person she didn't do it on purpose even though it's a sad story😢 😢😢
Wrong. This wasn't a deliberate murder. Jamie didn't plan and execute taking someone's life. She's not a Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy or Lori Vallow. Vehicular homicide is not worthy of a life sentence, unless you are like the college girl who killed two pedestrians and laughed about it afterward.
Really? So you put Jamie in the same category as a Ted Bundy or a Jeffrey Dahmer or a Lori Vallow? Jamie didn't intend to kill anyone. She didn't plan and carry out a murder. She is charged with vehicular manslaughter and there are many other Jamies sitting in American jail cells. Thank God you aren't the judge and jury......
@@thepupmommy lot’s of good guilty verdicts and sentences in the last three weeks. Maybe the justice system is actually beginning to work in the victims favor.
WOW the lack of remorse is unbelievable. And the level of narcissistic behavior in both her and her father are definitely contributing factors to the lack of empathy from both of them. And for the troll that keeps wanting to tell people she was remorseful. She is not a two-year-old and that’s about the age that we stop letting children get by with saying “I’m sorry” for their actions when they do wrong. Heck, even a preschooler is capable in their development of starting to understand the feelings and needs of others
Agreed, you can literally see her complaining...some people have no morals at all. I would ASK the judge to give me life without parole. I would not need a lawyer. There is no defence for such an act. Why should i get to live any kind of life after doing something so horrible. I don't think i could live with myself if i did something like this.
The first words out of her mouth on her very first call were: "I am so sorry!" These are remorseful words, after which she was instructed to not bring the case up again while on the jail phone line because it was being recorded and was open to the public. So, you actually have no idea of her degree of remorse. During her sentencing, she listened attentively and respectfully to the victim impact statements and she expressed what many consider to be heartfelt remorse. I choose to see Jamie the same way God does: She is redeemable.
@@vikyefre4975. And that was good enough ?? Like the comments above she is eating well clean and peaceful. The young bride who was killed she she will still live her life. Yes she will be in prison but her heart is beating
@@Jackie-jz4gr Im not saying whether she deserved it or not. I am simply stating that after she was arrested she was put on house arrest where she stayed before being sentenced and sent to prison. That was all i said thanks
This story is so so sad. I’m so grateful that I was able to enter recovery from alcohol. I could very easily done this to someone and their family. I could have ruined so many lives. I could’ve easily be standing in her shoes. If anyone is struggling with addiction I encourage you to seek help before this becomes your story
She Got The Princess Treatment From The Beginning..House Arrest For Killing Someone & Critically Injuring Someone Else. Sat Up In Her Home While That Mother Had To Bury Her Daughter..No Regard, No Cares In The World, But The Judge Smoked Her 😩 With 25. And Just From The Victim Impact Statements, They’re Gonna Make Sure She Stays There.
"No regret, no cares in the world"? Seriously? If you killed a bride on her wedding day because you were stupid enough to get behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated, do you honestly think you would feel "no regret" and have "no care in the world"while sitting in jail facing a lengthy prison term? I doubt it. I think your comment doesn't make any sense. Jamie sounds extremely upset on those jail calls so I would say she had tremendous regret and the weight of the weight of the world on her shoulders as any human being in her shoes would be.
@@Truth17John17 You Don’t Read Or Listen? She Was On House Arrest And Was All Smiles When She Thought The Cameras Weren’t Looking. I Actually Followed This Case Unlike You And Don’t Compare Me To Her. I’m Not Guilty Of Anything, I Don’t Drink And Never Was On Drugs..So You Want To Compare Me Too A Murderer? Delusional, But Good Try, Shifting Blame Onto Me When She’s The One Who Actually Did The Crime. I Stay Away From People Like You. Enablers.
@ Do You Even Think About The Loss The Families Have Been Through? No, She’s The Victim..So Now We’re Going To Shift The Blame Onto Me And Everyone Else, Because She Expressed Regret AFTER SHE ENDED SOMEONES LIFE? 😂😂😂What A Bunch Of Malarkey. It Was All An Act. Calls Are Recorded, Cameras Are Recording..And She Was On House ARREST..Not Sitting In A Cell..But Since She’s The REAL VICTIM And Was Able To Cry And Look Sad On Cue..You believe She Should Have Gotten Probation and Think She Should Have Gotten A Second, Third, Fourth Chance. The Judge Felt Differently And Justice Was Served.
That girl has never faced consequences in her entire life, until now. Look how shocked she is!! Not enough time either!! Should be LIFE FOR A LIFE. NOT AN "ACCIDENT"
After i drove off the road impaired, hurt no one thank goodness. I never drank again. I was in rehab, 2 places..2 years at least zero glass of beer, wine, wine cooler, ... I certainly wouldn't have wanted a person like me...sharing the same road as my daughter, wife, sister , mom, etc
How do you know? Do you know her personally? Spent any time with her? Talked to her at a time when she's told she's forbidden to discuss her case? You have no idea what Jamie cares about.
@@Truth17John17Do you? Did you watch her jail house videos, because I did. "Why did this have to happen to ME?" And that was her sober. Real compassionate.
Wow 15 years.... Here in Alberta Canada in 2012 my good friend was killed while getting a ride home from someone she thought, and was told by the driver, was sober. He lied or underestimated himself I suppose?. But she was killed and they had to use the jaws of life to pick her from the trees they crashed into. He got 4 MONTHS. And was seen drinking around our town at bars which caused a big stir in this small town.. This is a huge issue here that MADD is fighting hard to fix.
Or call your parents like I’ve done. I’d call my mom and she’d bring one of my Uncles with her. She drives me home, he’ll drive my car home, and there. No one has to he badly hurt or worse that night! Her and my dad (passed away of cancer when I was 19 in 2015) constantly told me even before I started driving the dangers of drunk driving. All it takes is ONE DUI to screw up your driving record and potentially your life. Not worth it!
BacK in my mid 20s. I drove home drunk. I mean I was smashed. Made it home safely with God's grace and without incidence. Scared me so much, I never drove intoxicated again. I am 68 now.
@@blacklightlifestyle9763 so you think it’s OK for people to choose a drunk and drive and kill other people. Let me give you a little lesson. At nine years old I witnessed my 11-year-old brother getting killed by a drunk driver. I can never get that image out of my mind. my mother and father had to bury my 11-year-old brother. I will never get that image out of my mind. My family has never been the same since. And that was over 50 years ago. My dad has died since then, but my mother is still alive. And in her late 80s she still cries herself to sleep every night. And if that wasn’t enough seven years ago, my sisters daughter was killed by a drunk driver, and she had a bury her daughter. so I suggest to you before you make any comments about something you don’t know. Maybe you should do some research. Or put yourself on other people’s shoes. How would you feel if your child was killed by drunk driver? There is no excuse for drinking and driving. It is not a mistake. It is a choice. If you choose gotten drink, you get a Uber or a taxi. To me, she deserves life in prison for killing an innocent woman.
Please dont drive impaired, drunk, under any influence. There are things in life that can easily avoid tragedies and this is a major one. There are so many resources to get people home safely and if not, dont go out drinking. Non emergency can help, I'm sure an officer would much rather assist getting someone who's drunk home than responding to crashes involving drunk driving. This has got to damn stop. How many more families left affected by the aftermath of someone being selfish and careless does there need to be here? This case was heartbreaking, they all are.
This is such a fine line here. You take a good upstanding citizen and they make a mistake and their life is ruined. What people don’t understand is that by drinking irresponsibly to the point where you can’t function properly that is negligent. You made that decision to keep drinking, to get behind that wheel and killed someone. Alcohol is no joke. People need to wake up and realize that
It makes perfect sense, people with dulled senses react slower so their body does not tense up during traumatic events - it is this tensing that causes tissues to tear.
I got a DUI when I was 25. Spun my car out on an icy road in upstate NY. I was doing about 70 mph. I went across someone's front lawn, spun out and hit a parked car in the driveway. I drove off in my disabled car, was pulled over down the road and arrested. I got a suspended DL for 6 months, a $2000 fine and I had to go to treatment for 3 months. I'm 49 now and I have drank socially the last 24 years, but I never got behind the wheel again. I am thankful to this day that my poor decision that night didn't cost anyone innocent their life.
My dad was killed by a drunk driver coming home from my cousin wedding. Many people were never the same after that happened. I'm glad she's being held accountable for her actions.
If you got 25 years would you cry? I would, and so would many other people I know who are in Jamie's shoes. There's no audacity involved in crying over a lengthy prison term.
Yea how dumb 25 is long and harsh for her punishment in my state ppl typically get 5yrs only for this exact crime I’ve seen it I’ve been in jail I new of others charged with this on there 2nd offense even 3rd and still only got 5 yrs so I kinda feel bad for this girl
I’ve heard way lighter sentences & she did not have good lawyers judging by tht sentence but hey don’t do illegal things & u won’t have to pay the consequences
For anyone wondering about the sentence, she was given several chances over the years and never learned from her mistakes, she had been caught drink driving three times in the past and still continued to do it, on top of that she didn't even have a license because the last time she was caught drink driving her license was revoked. 25 years is the least she deserves for her selfishness and inability to learn.
There are people who get a lot more for doing a lot less. 25 years is literally the standard for driving drunk, which would result in death. In the end the psychological damage placed upon the family has already been done. What was supposed to be a night of celebration, love and support for the union of two people ended up a nightmare which destroyed the lives of two families, most of all the groom. I don’t even know how someone can be able to continue with faith after that. Here’s hoping that one day he along with the rest his family and his late wife’s family find peace.
It was actually the lives of three families she destroyed. Not only Samantha and Aric’s families. But her own too! At the very least, she’ll be in her late 40s before she can be eligible for early release. Jamie’s crime requires her to serve at least 80-85% of her sentence. Meaning she’ll be in prison for the next 20 years!
She was really taken back by the 25 year term, she should of thought about that before getting behind a wheel of a vehicle 3 times over the limit 🤷🏾♂️
My niece was hit by a drunk driver on November 12,2022 . She did not make it, he was sentenced to 25 years and while the public thought it was fair our family will never be full again. No amount of time is equal to us having to go without her for the rest of our lives. Please do not drink and drive.
I hope this is a wake up call to young drivers who think about driving under the influence. Your whole life can change in an instant. My heart breaks for the bride and groom’s families and I feel sorry for the family of the drunk driver. They didn’t ask to go through this either.
Sarah Boone: gets life in prison for killing her boyfriend suffocating him in a suitcase Jamie Lee komoroski: gets 25 years in prison for killing a bride hours after her wedding
I don't get the point here. Sarah Boone purposely murdered her boyfriend in the suitcase and videoed herself laughing at him struggling to breathe. Jamie made numerous bad decisions with alcohol and caused Samantha's death, but didn't set out that night to kill her. Sentences seem pretty just from my POV given the circumstances of each crime.
Huge difference in sentences between the US and Canada. Millionaire Marco Muzzo was in Miami for his bachelor party and took a private jet home. He could have had a driver pick him up but he decided to drive drunk, 3 times the legal limit. Killed all three children of a couple and their grandfather. Sentenced to 10 years and walked after 5. The father of the 3 children killed himself the day after Father's Day, 2022. Ruined an entire family and did 5 lousy years for 4 lives.
Had the unmitigated audacity to ask her father why did this have to happen to me? And the idiot says bad things happen to good people. You were over 3 times the limit duh!
This creature has taken no responsibility and shown no remorse for what she did and thought daddy’s money would get her off, hopefully she serves at least half of what they gave her, though I don’t see her getting out based on “good behavior”!!
The 25 year sentence will not bring back the young woman that Jamie Lee Komoroski killed while driving drunk, BUT it's essential that harsh punishment is givien to try and deter others from also being so reckless. Don't drink and drive - it's not a new thing... EVERYONE knows that.
I believe so. This was national news for weeks. I'm sure there was pressure on the judge. Stephanie Melgoza also made national news, but only got 14 years for killing two people.
Wouldn't you be distraught if God forbid, your partner got killed on your wedding day? A loved one getting killed/dying is painful enough but these circumstances make this case incredibly sad.
This was a horrible tragedy, but people that speak hate and mean it, are truly ruining their own lives with bitterness, and will adversely effect everyone near to them. Justice was served. I hope the Dad can find forgiveness and not carry what he said to his grave. It would not be worth it in the end.
That's why the sentence needed to be the max. She had every chance in the world to prevent this and through her own selfish actions, chose to continue which caused it. She is 100% responsible. Nobody else got behind the wheel that night - only Jamie.
@@christophergargaro959Exactly! Plus Jamie’s crime requires her to serve 80-85% of her sentence in South Carolina. Meaning she’ll be behind bars for at least the next 20 years!
Considering that hundreds of thousands of other people were driving while inebriated at the exact same time Jamie was, her question is a logical one. I work in prison ministry and have encountered many Jamies. They ALL ask that question, especially the ones who never committed a crime before they were arrested for a DUI vehicular homicide.
@Truth17John17 Doesn't make it ok, and you left something out. By the time the vast majority of drunk drivers are actually caught and held accountable, they've already driven under the influence many, many times before. I'm quite certain that's the situation here. The fact that other impaired drivers also feel like victims in scenarios such as these doesn't surprise me one bit. It takes a special kind of arrogance and entitlement to disregard the safety of everyone else on the road because you're too irresponsible to arrange for alternative transportation when you know you're going to be drinking. She didn't get unlucky that day. The bride and groom did. They didn't deserve what happened to them. She does! Period!!
@@lucindatwo9921 I never said what Jamie did was okay. I never said Jamie didn't deserve her sentence. I never said the bride and groom deserved their fate. Twisting words and/or putting words in another's mouth is a form of manipulation. It's called gaslighting. You like to argue just for the sake of arguing and I don't have time for that nonsense. I lost a daughter to a drunk driver but I still have more compassion and empathy than many for every person involved in this tragedy, including the defendant. I try to see people the way God sees them, and He has a whole lot more mercy and grace than the people slamming Jamie as if she intentionally orchestrated a murder. Thankfully, you/they aren't the judge or jury.
@Truth17John17 Lucky for her. I would've sentenced her to life. As for gaslighting, nobody's gaslighting you. I just don't happen to agree with you. Not the same thing at all. I am sorry about your daughter, though. I have a daughter of my own and I worry about her every time she's on the road. The idea that someone could do something like that to her and then act like this woman did in the videos I saw does not inspire a sympathetic response from me. Also, I found her little speech disingenuous af. She's had time for it to sink in, and she still doesn't seem to be able to muster up any genuine remorse. I have a problem with that, and my opinion of her isn't likely to change. Not gaslighting you, just stating my opinion, which I'm entitled to.
This is just how screwed up our system is. That dirt bag should have gotten life without the chance of parole. Our system is rigged for the dirt bag criminal.
To bad they don't treat alcohol like cigarettes. You can't advertise cigarette sales or anything to do with cigarettes but you can advertise alcohol on every channel every billboard every store in alcohol causes more harm mentally physically then cigarettes
I lost my left leg to a drink driver in 1992. I had only been married for four months.
People who drink and drive need to realise that the car they are driving is a weapon of complete destruction. They should be punished accordingly.
I'm so sorry for your accident. This girl is a murderer and should definitely be punished accordingly.
Im so sorry!! How are you doing?
I couldn't agree more.
Ya cars are dangerous enough driving sober! I hope your life improved after being the victim of this horrible event.
so sorry to hear - it would have been and still must be very tough. i agree about punishments for drunk drivers
So glad she got the max sentence. This selfish little creature had NO remorse. In her jailhouse phone calls with her dad, she actually said, "Why'd this have to happen to me?" She thinks SHE is the victim. She deserves to rot away in prison.

The only person that sat on his side of the courtroom was his glass employer where he had worked for 25 years. The accident could have just as easily been caused by a regular person. It was sad for everyone there that day. In the end, I felt bad for him and how his life would never be the same. I still think about her and wonder how my life would have been different. I wish god hadn't made me an atheist so I could believe I will meet her in heaven.
Words of sympathy are no use to you i expect, but this is not an unusual thing to occur, with the prisons being full the judges are instructed on sentences given, you have recently seen 4000 released early, just to make way for others, the courts have a backlog of 70000 cases with i believe only 2 new prisons under construction. This is a prime case of Government mismanagement.
Shattered lives due to no fault of yours --Killing whilst under the influence of alcohol is tantamount to murder in my view and the sentencing should reflect that.
You reap what you sow. Sad that it takes a 25 yr sentence to realize this lesson of life.
Not enough time in prison.
@@naomiemoore5725I disagree. Have you ever reasoned with a drunk person. I didn't think so. Yes we all know that drinking and driving is dangerous. Because you're impaired. What's impaired your brain you're incapable of reasonable decisions. But this is a wedding and many perhaps all were drinking. And she knew he was drinking and perhaps she was also. A sad situation really. Because none of this would've happened if all weren't drinking. Man over the years I seen my friends and family make stupid decisions while drunk. And if I'm there no one is driving. You know instead of coat checks why not check your keys at a bar. At the end of the night when you need your keys a decision will be made on your ability to drive. Same with having a family get together. Keys please. We all have to be responsible. Being drunk isn't an excuse. So many lives lost by good people that were drunk and somehow end up behind the wheel of a vehicle. And the next day when the head clears. Your whole world is upside down. No I really do believe in giving people a chance especially the first time. And looking at all circumstances. Is there family who's the provider so many lives through no fault of theirs. So many things to consider. I understand the hurt both sides. If it's a repeat then by all means there are no second chances. Good people bad choices leaves us with hard decisions.
The person killed life is over. In 25 years, she won't get her life back. With all the rides available there's absolutely no reason to drink and drive. My mom was killed by a drunk driver when l was 3. As child when l was in elementary school, l would br so sad at the gifts or Mother's Day Tea for all the moms.
@@Carly-pr2xwSo sorry for your loss especially at such a tender age . My Prayers ❤
@yogiyogesh-vh2zx
Thank you..
I watched the conversation on court TV between her and her dad a few different times from jail. And they were laughing and cutting up and joking like nothing was wrong. While the mom of the victim is bawling her eyes out because she has to bury her daughter that was killed on her wedding day. Justice has been served
100%.
Yes I saw that too and either one is laughing now you can tell just be the way the dad was speaking to her that she has been coddled and spoiled her whole life. Now he can spend this time visiting her in prison and hopefully this experience will just as much of a WAKEUP CALL for him as it is for her.
@@marwatson7408 She was a 4.0 college student because she applied herself to her studies and you don't know anything about Jamie's whole life. Seriously, did you have a crystal ball on her 24/7? Her father was trying to encourage his daughter who did something "very stupid" and "very, very, VERY bad" (according to him) and he also told her to "learn to buck up and bear it". His daughter just ruined her life and destroyed others (in a worldly view) and everyone was hating on her.... so he tried to make her laugh when she probably spent most of her time in jail sobbing. There's NOTHING wrong with that. She's his daughter and if it was your daughter in her place, you would probably do the same unless you have -0- compassion.
Truth17john17 Her family knew she had a drinking problem and not once did they try to intervene and get her some help. I believe one of her siblings mentioned that at her bail hearing . The way she was throwing a hissy fit when she was in there and whine about spending 15 years or more years in prison. Not once did she mention the woman she killed and the lives that she has ruined including her own. All she did was talk about herself and complain about her food she is in jail not a five star hotel. Why is it everyone is getting why she is in prison but her it’s like she not taking responsibility. People make mistakes screwing up a cooking recipe is a mistake, getting behind the wheel of a car drunk and plowing into people not a mistake. The bars and restaurants are just as much to blame she was bar hopping all day and you mean to tell me not waitress/waiter or bartender saw that she was intoxicated. They got sue as well and you can tell the groom and two other family members that got hit still have a long road to recovery. The groom made the comment at her sentencing that he has seen more Drs in the last year and a half of his life than he has ever seen in his entire lifetime . As for my daughter I tried to instill in my children to take responsibility for their actions and told them the same thing my mother told me a car is not a toy driving is a privilege not a right and you can have that privilege taken away from you.
@@Truth17John17She was probably crying because of the consequences not out of remorse. She was acting like a literal child, completely clueless and remorseless about what she had done. She was acting as if she had punched someone in the face or something minor.

Life without parole. Once she thought she was not being seen she was arguing over her sentence. No tears or remorse. This was MURDER. She chose to drink heavily and drive.

What about the defendants family? Good thing people like you don’t write the law.
I had a cousin killed by a drink driver many years ago on Christmas Eve just 6 weeks before her wedding. Drink drive killers should be charged with murder. The one in my cousins case got 8 years and a 4 year driving ban. When he got out he complained to the police when my cousins brothers re-arranged his facial features and helped him to not worry about what tooth paste to use. The gratitude of people......smh.
I’m sorry about your cousin.
You responded to lawlessness with lawlessness. Quite the brains in your extended family I see.

Nothing but a life sentence should have been the verdict.
Wrong. This wasn't a deliberate murder. Jamie didn't plan and execute taking someone's life. She's not a Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy or Lori Vallow. Vehicular homicide is not worthy of a life sentence, unless you are like the college girl who killed two pedestrians and laughed about it afterward.
Her journey is about to begin 😮😮
Really? So you put Jamie in the same category as a Ted Bundy or a Jeffrey Dahmer or a Lori Vallow? Jamie didn't intend to kill anyone. She didn't plan and carry out a murder. She is charged with vehicular manslaughter and there are many other Jamies sitting in American jail cells. Thank God you aren't the judge and jury......

WOW the lack of remorse is unbelievable. And the level of narcissistic behavior in both her and her father are definitely contributing factors to the lack of empathy from both of them. And for the troll that keeps wanting to tell people she was remorseful. She is not a two-year-old and that’s about the age that we stop letting children get by with saying “I’m sorry” for their actions when they do wrong. Heck, even a preschooler is capable in their development of starting to understand the feelings and needs of others
Agreed, you can literally see her complaining...some people have no morals at all. I would ASK the judge to give me life without parole. I would not need a lawyer. There is no defence for such an act. Why should i get to live any kind of life after doing something so horrible. I don't think i could live with myself if i did something like this.
Im just discusted with our justice system !
The first words out of her mouth on her very first call were: "I am so sorry!" These are remorseful words, after which she was instructed to not bring the case up again while on the jail phone line because it was being recorded and was open to the public. So, you actually have no idea of her degree of remorse. During her sentencing, she listened attentively and respectfully to the victim impact statements and she expressed what many consider to be heartfelt remorse. I choose to see Jamie the same way God does: She is redeemable.
Oh shut up! She isn’t remorseful for killing anyone! She’s remorseful because she is locked up
You don't think she feels bad for killing someone?
Why does this girl appear startled by this sentence as she hear it? She KILLED a person and she was driving DRUNK!

"No regret, no cares in the world"? Seriously? If you killed a bride on her wedding day because you were stupid enough to get behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated, do you honestly think you would feel "no regret" and have "no care in the world"while sitting in jail facing a lengthy prison term? I doubt it. I think your comment doesn't make any sense. Jamie sounds extremely upset on those jail calls so I would say she had tremendous regret and the weight of the weight of the world on her shoulders as any human being in her shoes would be.

so you think it’s OK for people to choose a drunk and drive and kill other people. Let me give you a little lesson. At nine years old I witnessed my 11-year-old brother getting killed by a drunk driver. I can never get that image out of my mind. my mother and father had to bury my 11-year-old brother. I will never get that image out of my mind. My family has never been the same since. And that was over 50 years ago. My dad has died since then, but my mother is still alive. And in her late 80s she still cries herself to sleep every night. And if that wasn’t enough seven years ago, my sisters daughter was killed by a drunk driver, and she had a bury her daughter. so I suggest to you before you make any comments about something you don’t know. Maybe you should do some research. Or put yourself on other people’s shoes. How would you feel if your child was killed by drunk driver? There is no excuse for drinking and driving. It is not a mistake. It is a choice. If you choose gotten drink, you get a Uber or a taxi. To me, she deserves life in prison for killing an innocent woman.
Please dont drive impaired, drunk, under any influence. There are things in life that can easily avoid tragedies and this is a major one. There are so many resources to get people home safely and if not, dont go out drinking. Non emergency can help, I'm sure an officer would much rather assist getting someone who's drunk home than responding to crashes involving drunk driving. This has got to damn stop. How many more families left affected by the aftermath of someone being selfish and careless does there need to be here? This case was heartbreaking, they all are.
My cousin was killed ten minutes after l said goodbye to her at a restaurant by a drunk driver, leaving two young children.
I am so so sorry. Such a terrible loss.
This is such a fine line here. You take a good upstanding citizen and they make a mistake and their life is ruined. What people don’t understand is that by drinking irresponsibly to the point where you can’t function properly that is negligent. You made that decision to keep drinking, to get behind that wheel and killed someone. Alcohol is no joke. People need to wake up and realize that
Young people still drink and drive today. They'll never learn until the law catches up to them.
Good. Justice served. This is what happens when you CHOOSE to drive drunk. Period.
They better not give her any parole!
Depending where she is she'll eventually get it.
Jamie’s crime requires her to serve 80-85% of her sentence in South Carolina. Meaning she’ll be imprisoned for at least the next 20 years!
There is no parole. She is in for the full 25 years under SC law for this crime.
Sentences should have run consecutively.
The drunk driver tends to be the one that survives in car crashes makes no sense smh
It’s because they are floppy and limp from the alcohol I reckon.
2 reasons. They have the steering wheel and r loose as a goose.
It makes perfect sense, people with dulled senses react slower so their body does not tense up during traumatic events - it is this tensing that causes tissues to tear.
So she must serve a minimum of at least 25 years in prison?
There’s no shot she serves the full 25 years.

I got a DUI when I was 25. Spun my car out on an icy road in upstate NY. I was doing about 70 mph. I went across someone's front lawn, spun out and hit a parked car in the driveway. I drove off in my disabled car, was pulled over down the road and arrested. I got a suspended DL for 6 months, a $2000 fine and I had to go to treatment for 3 months. I'm 49 now and I have drank socially the last 24 years, but I never got behind the wheel again. I am thankful to this day that my poor decision that night didn't cost anyone innocent their life.
She looks shocked
My dad was killed by a drunk driver coming home from my cousin wedding. Many people were never the same after that happened. I'm glad she's being held accountable for her actions.
She never felt any guilt for what she did. Great sentence.
She really thought she would get off Scott free!
And she has the audacity to cry because she got 25 years
If you got 25 years would you cry? I would, and so would many other people I know who are in Jamie's shoes. There's no audacity involved in crying over a lengthy prison term.
Yea how dumb 25 is long and harsh for her punishment in my state ppl typically get 5yrs only for this exact crime I’ve seen it I’ve been in jail I new of others charged with this on there 2nd offense even 3rd and still only got 5 yrs so I kinda feel bad for this girl
Should she hop, skip, and jump with glee?
I’ve heard way lighter sentences & she did not have good lawyers judging by tht sentence but hey don’t do illegal things & u won’t have to pay the consequences
That knocked the wind out of her sails. She said to her boyfriend on the phone that she hoped to be home soon. Not.
For anyone wondering about the sentence, she was given several chances over the years and never learned from her mistakes, she had been caught drink driving three times in the past and still continued to do it, on top of that she didn't even have a license because the last time she was caught drink driving her license was revoked. 25 years is the least she deserves for her selfishness and inability to learn.
There are people who get a lot more for doing a lot less. 25 years is literally the standard for driving drunk, which would result in death. In the end the psychological damage placed upon the family has already been done. What was supposed to be a night of celebration, love and support for the union of two people ended up a nightmare which destroyed the lives of two families, most of all the groom. I don’t even know how someone can be able to continue with faith after that. Here’s hoping that one day he along with the rest his family and his late wife’s family find peace.
It was actually the lives of three families she destroyed. Not only Samantha and Aric’s families. But her own too! At the very least, she’ll be in her late 40s before she can be eligible for early release.
Jamie’s crime requires her to serve at least 80-85% of her sentence. Meaning she’ll be in prison for the next 20 years!

Had the unmitigated audacity to ask her father why did this have to happen to me? And the idiot says bad things happen to good people. You were over 3 times the limit duh!
So she gets out of prison at 52
Correct. No parole.
She looked surprised when she was sentenced to 25 years. Don’t drink and drive
She’s gonna make a lot of girlfriends in prison.
Unless all the men in the courtroom are tiny, she appears to be 6 feet tall. Meaning any girlfriends she has, she gets to choose 😂
This creature has taken no responsibility and shown no remorse for what she did and thought daddy’s money would get her off, hopefully she serves at least half of what they gave her, though I don’t see her getting out based on “good behavior”!!
Really?? She’s SHOCKED??
The 25 year sentence will not bring back the young woman that Jamie Lee Komoroski killed while driving drunk, BUT it's essential that harsh punishment is givien to try and deter others from also being so reckless. Don't drink and drive - it's not a new thing... EVERYONE knows that.
It was a total of 50 years to run concurrent (and a lot of money)
She'll be drinking in prison, but it won't be liquor !
WAAATEEEER
Walk, call a friend, uber, or sleep in place
“Have a good afternoon”
She look of shock when the sentence is read. SHE KILLED A HUMN BEING. No sympathy.
Did this person get punished more harshly because the victim was a newlywed?
The person got punished because she was a drunk driver who killed someone. Simple as that.
I believe so. This was national news for weeks. I'm sure there was pressure on the judge. Stephanie Melgoza also made national news, but only got 14 years for killing two people.
Wouldn't you be distraught if God forbid, your partner got killed on your wedding day? A loved one getting killed/dying is painful enough but these circumstances make this case incredibly sad.
And because she's a remorseless d-bag.
She was punished more harshly because she had three previous DUIs and was driving while disqualified.
Should a life sentence
The party is over!
This was a horrible tragedy, but people that speak hate and mean it, are truly ruining their own lives with bitterness, and will adversely effect everyone near to them. Justice was served. I hope the Dad can find forgiveness and not carry what he said to his grave. It would not be worth it in the end.
This didn't have to happen 😞
That's why the sentence needed to be the max. She had every chance in the world to prevent this and through her own selfish actions, chose to continue which caused it. She is 100% responsible. Nobody else got behind the wheel that night - only Jamie.
@@christophergargaro959Exactly! Plus Jamie’s crime requires her to serve 80-85% of her sentence in South Carolina. Meaning she’ll be behind bars for at least the next 20 years!
25yrs.is a slap on the wrist.she should have gotten life😮.that young lady she killed is not coming back😓.
25 years is a "slap on the wrist"...?
“Why does this have to happen to ME?!”
Right? All these people defending her must be just as bad as she is.
Considering that hundreds of thousands of other people were driving while inebriated at the exact same time Jamie was, her question is a logical one. I work in prison ministry and have encountered many Jamies. They ALL ask that question, especially the ones who never committed a crime before they were arrested for a DUI vehicular homicide.
@Truth17John17 Doesn't make it ok, and you left something out. By the time the vast majority of drunk drivers are actually caught and held accountable, they've already driven under the influence many, many times before. I'm quite certain that's the situation here. The fact that other impaired drivers also feel like victims in scenarios such as these doesn't surprise me one bit. It takes a special kind of arrogance and entitlement to disregard the safety of everyone else on the road because you're too irresponsible to arrange for alternative transportation when you know you're going to be drinking. She didn't get unlucky that day. The bride and groom did. They didn't deserve what happened to them. She does! Period!!
@@lucindatwo9921 I never said what Jamie did was okay. I never said Jamie didn't deserve her sentence. I never said the bride and groom deserved their fate. Twisting words and/or putting words in another's mouth is a form of manipulation. It's called gaslighting. You like to argue just for the sake of arguing and I don't have time for that nonsense. I lost a daughter to a drunk driver but I still have more compassion and empathy than many for every person involved in this tragedy, including the defendant. I try to see people the way God sees them, and He has a whole lot more mercy and grace than the people slamming Jamie as if she intentionally orchestrated a murder. Thankfully, you/they aren't the judge or jury.
@Truth17John17 Lucky for her. I would've sentenced her to life. As for gaslighting, nobody's gaslighting you. I just don't happen to agree with you. Not the same thing at all. I am sorry about your daughter, though. I have a daughter of my own and I worry about her every time she's on the road. The idea that someone could do something like that to her and then act like this woman did in the videos I saw does not inspire a sympathetic response from me. Also, I found her little speech disingenuous af. She's had time for it to sink in, and she still doesn't seem to be able to muster up any genuine remorse. I have a problem with that, and my opinion of her isn't likely to change. Not gaslighting you, just stating my opinion, which I'm entitled to.
This is such a sad story killed on your wedding day how horrible
Those r crocodile tears she's sorry she got caught
The damm bars are accountable as well...
She was mad drunk and they still served her. Until the businesses are held accountable this will happen again
@@leojuarez4690 they actually were in this case. I thought the same thing you did.
This is just how screwed up our system is. That dirt bag should have gotten life without the chance of parole. Our system is rigged for the dirt bag criminal.
To bad they don't treat alcohol like cigarettes. You can't advertise cigarette sales or anything to do with cigarettes but you can advertise alcohol on every channel every billboard every store in alcohol causes more harm mentally physically then cigarettes
It’s the most dangerous drug.
