Woman Accused of Killing Bride in DUI Crash Denied Bond

A South Carolina woman accused of drunkenly crashing into a bride and groom on their wedding day appeared in court for her bond hearing. The bride, Samantha Miller, was killed instantly in the crash. During the hearing, the bride's family spoke one by one. Miller's mom says "The defendant made the conscious decision to get into her vehicle after drinking all day and take away my daughter." The suspect, Jamie Komoroski, who has pleaded not guilty, was denied bond.

Straight up true. I can't even imagine how this evil lady is treating the husband and his family right now. The mother is ALL about the MONEY and wants to take it ALL away from the husband. She doesn't want the husband to get 1 cent. You know she wants all from the settlement from the car insurance and Gofundme. That's why she got herself an attorney. The mother is PURE EVIL.

[@michelejackson7934]

Sad, but the groom dodged a bullet avoiding being married into a family that cares more about names and estate proceedings than the trauma he endured by losing his future bride. I am sure she’s looking down from heaven in disgust about how her family is behaving.

Samantha's mother must be a very terrible woman, coming here talking about what name to be used and what name not to be used.

No, she said her “legal” name is Miller. We don’t know what they asked her before she said that, she might have been answering a question. In America, your last name doesn’t change just because you get married. You have to take your marriage license to the social security office and request a name change. The mom was just pointing out she never got the chance to do that. 😔
