Boozing Jamie Lee Komoroski who is accused of killing a bride on her wedding day by slamming her vehicle into a golf cart is ready to “live her best life.”

The only cloud on the 26-year-old’s horizon is the 25 years or so she may have to serve in prison if she is convicted.

But no problem, according to the New York Post, which published transcripts of Komoroski’s jailhouse conversations with her sister Kelsi.
Komoroski has been charged with four counts in connection with the impaired driving crash that killed Samantha Hutchinson, 34, in Folly Beach, S.C., on April 28, 2023, as she left her wedding reception.
She remains absurdly optimistic.
“It’s so funny because when you’re in a bad situation, you’re so upset and you’re distraught, but in the future when you see your future self looking back at that time you wish you could tell yourself in that moment: ‘Stop freaking out, stop crying, it’s going to be OK. You’re happy now. And there’s no point being so upset. Everything is going to work out,’” Komoroski told her sibling in the October call.

She added: “No matter how bad it is in the moment. It’s going to work out.”
Sister Kelsi commiserated that the situation was not “the end of the world.” Her sister concurred.
“Two years down the road you’re living your best life and you’re so happy and it’s OK. You’re fine,” Komoroski said.
“You can’t control everything. It’s very peaceful to just sit there and be like, ‘I can’t control the situation right now, all I can do is the best next thing.’”
Komoroski was allegedly three times over the legal drunk-driving limit when she got behind the wheel of her Toyota Camry.
She was speeding at 65 mph in a 25 mph zone in a poorly-lit residential area when she slammed into the rear of the golf cart carrying the bride and her new hubby, Aric, who was left in a wheelchair.

Cops said the driver had been bar-hopping before the tragedy, slamming tequila shots.
Even in the dire days following the crash when she was caged in the Al Cannon Detention Center, Komoroski seemed to be in disbelief that this had happened to her.
“Oh my God. I just can’t believe this happened to me. … Why me? … I’m going to be here for years and years and years and years,” she sobbed. “I can’t believe this is my life … my whole life is going to be over.”
But recently, the party girl has claimed she’s “really happy” because the local sheriff is “trying to help her out.” Other jailbirds have claimed Komoroski is getting special treatment.
And she says she’s planning her wedding — despite facing all those years in prison.
“I want you to be at my wedding,” Komoroski told her father, Charles, the Post reported. “I want you to walk me down the aisle. I want you to be with me. I want to go on walks with you.”
She is reportedly still dating boyfriend Evan Tatro, the presumed groom.
Aric Hutchinson is now suing Komoroski and the five watering holes where she was boozing before the crash for wrongful death.
Komoroski has been held at Al Cannon Detention Center in North Charleston, S.C. On Friday, she was released on $150,000 bond and is under house arrest. She must also wear an ankle monitor.
