Prosecutors in South Carolina say that the drunk driver who killed a bride on her wedding night — and has asked for her time behind bars to be shortened — should serve her entire sentence.

As Law&Crime previously reported, Jamie Komoroski, 27, asked Charleston County Ninth Judicial Circuit Judge Deadra L. Jefferson to reconsider her 25-year prison sentence. Komoroski was behind the wheel of a Toyota Camry the night of April 28, 2023, speeding through the island community of Folly Beach, where newlyweds Samantha Miller, 34, and Aric Hutchinson, 36, had just gotten married. They had left their wedding reception in a golf cart driven by Hutchinson’s brother-in-law, Benjamin Garrett, and Garrett’s 17-year-old son Brogan Garrett.

Komoroski, who was 25 years old at the time, is estimated to have been driving 65 mph in a 25 mph zone when she crashed into the golf cart, killing Miller and seriously injuring Hutchinson and the two other passengers. According to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, Komoroski had a BAC of .261, more than triple the legal limit.
