Jamie Komoroski’s father offered words of sympathy as his daughter complained about being locked up after the drunken crash that killed a newlywed bride on her wedding night.

Newly released jailhouse footage shows Komoroski, then 25, sobbing during a May 2023 phone call with her father, Charles — just weeks after she drove into a golf cart carrying newlyweds Samantha and Aric Hutchinson in Folly Beach, South Carolina.

“I still just don’t know why this had to happen to me,” Komoroski complained during the call.

“Because bad things happen to good people, honey,” her father replied, calmly puffing on a cigar.

“It’s just something that happened to you, and we are going to deal with it as best as we can, okay,” he added.

Komoroski continued portraying herself as the victim, asking her father, “I just can’t believe this happened to me. Why me, Dad, why me?”

The conversation later turned to the media attention surrounding the case.

“That’s just, like, makes me scared that the media is so involved in it,” Komoroski said. “Why are they so involved in it?”

Her father told her the case attracted attention because it “sold newspapers.”

Komoroski then worried about what would happen when she was released.

“It’s going to be so bad when I get out. Everybody’s going to be so mean to me,” she said.

“I’m just scared, dad,” she later added. “I don’t want to go away for so, so long.”

“Well, listen, we’re doing everything we can,” her father responded before telling her, “You got to get tough.”

Komoroski was driving a Toyota rental car at about 65 mph when she slammed into the golf cart carrying Samantha and Aric as they were leaving their wedding.

Samantha, 34, was thrown from the cart and died at the scene. Aric, 36, suffered facial injuries and was hospitalized.

Komoroski was initially defiant following the crash and complained to police that she had not been allowed to call her father.

“I just wanna like, get this over with and go home,” she told an officer.

She also asked, “What did I do?” despite the deadly consequences of the crash.

Komoroski ultimately pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 25 years in prison in December 2024 for felony DUI, two counts of DUI causing great bodily injury or death and reckless homicide.
