@@user-ml4ut6bv1ytbh I was very drunk a few occasions but I never got behind the wheel. This is Germany where kids are allowed to drink beer and wine at 16… but are able to drive without an adult at 18. Maybe that’s why… learned how to hold my liquor without being able to drive at all Knowing how stupid I am drunk before driving But I’m not sure. We have many drunk drivers here too. Often they’re suicidal men heading down a highway the wrong way…
The infuriating thing is that the people that need to hear this message are also the ones that are utterly incapable of grasping the idea. They will look at you with genuine confusion and say "B-b-but...we're trying to bail her out! That makes us GOOD parents! Of course we know how to raise a baby decently. We've protected her from all those ugly consequences that the mean, mean people in the world have tried to hold her to. That's the one and only goal of parenting, isn't it? Making sure your baby is always happy and always gets what she wants?"
This woman only has 3 or 4 months of prison meanwhile she killed a firemen and a lovely wife was over the legal amount of intoxication she lied about what happened and she’s thriving off of daddy’s bank
For real, like it would be different if it was golf cart on a 40+ mph road, but it was literally a 25mph residential road, if she didnt hit the cart she could have hit someone else
@@sw4gbunni100unfortunately this will be the deciding factor of the trial, and she’ll get of close to Scott free, likely under 5 years. Completely illegal, no number plates or seatbelts, defence lawyer will have a field day. Such a tragedy.
I ain't defending this spoilt shit but I did think that, objectively, I wondered why a golf cart was traveling on a public road with other vehicles... like I said, not defending but is that normal? I'm sure it's illegal to drive those on any public roads in my country regardless of the speed limit
@@Theoreticallyyou1234No it's not illegal in SC. Golf carts are allowed on residential roads, such as in a neighborhoo, as long as the speed limit isn't over 35mph.
I have very little pity with cases like this. A drunk driver killed a friend of mine at 6pm- daylight about 1/2 mile from her house. The accident was so close to the home that the family ran up the street after hearing the crash. The driver got about 6 years in jail even though it wasn't his first arrest for this. We all lost a wonderful friend.
What’s so crazy to me is about how this girl kept asking for her boyfriend and for him to be there for her when she just killed somebody’s whole WIFE and it’s completely unfair..
She wants to see her boyfriend and cat, meanwhile this man's wife is dead, their cat will grow up motherless. She's worried about hot dog buns, Sam's sister didn't even get the chance to ask if they liked the wedding cake. Jaime has main character syndrome turned all the way up.
My uncle was cut in half by a drunk driver while he was on the side of the road changing a spare tire on his truck. He left behind a wife and two very very young kids. The driver (mid 20s) was so full of guilt that he killed himself in his jail cell before the trial ended. He left behind a very distraught mother and siblings. I wish the driver didn’t end his life. My uncles death was enough. Please don’t drink and drive. It ruins so many lives.
My husband's dad was also killed by a drunk driver - he was driving home from work when a drunk guy hit him in a head-on collision. They both died. His body was in such a bad shape, that my mother in law's brother was the one to identify it, as he wanted to spare her the trauma of seeing it. My husband was only 3 years old then, so he barely even remembers his dad. It's so sad and infuriating at the same time.
So update: Jamie is under house arrest. They weren't able to get a trial before March 1st, 2024, so she's home. After "being granted bail with strict restrictions." She gets to go home while Samantha's family or new husband will never have Samantha come home again.
worlds most eligble bachelor its already one year this month he seems like the most kindest man . We had 2 baseball players who train here ( Central Fl) an at nite they drove into a dock both killed well 8 months later one of the widows remarried an people where livid
Is it wishing ill will on someone if I wonder how long it will take for the celebratory drink? I also hope you can't payoff the officer who will be checking for BAC.
How there's still people on her instagram defending her actions absolutely baffles me. In times of Uber, taxis, calling friends or family to pick you up or sleepover, where all of these options exist 24/7, there is absolutely zero excuses for drunk driving. NONE.
The problem is that we can see from her conversations that even when she's cold sober she still has no concern whatsoever for how her actions affect other people, even to the point of killing someone. Combine that with the fact that she expects her family to keep her from having to face any consequences, and we can see why she didn't see any need to control her actions. It wasn't that she thought it would be too much effort or would put a damper on her fun. For someone like her it's simply that the thought of her acting more responsibly never entered her mind. It would be kike the idea of her walking around a restaurant before leaving to make sure all of the chairs are pushed back under the tables. It's not something that would be difficult to do, but the thought that she ought to would not occur to her, and she'd just roll her eyes at you if you suggested that she should. It's the reason that people this self-centered can be just as dangerous as those that intentionally go out and try to hurt people. Even after the damage is done they don't even see the need to do anything to change their behavior.
I'm also of the firm belief that if you can't afford a taxi/uber home then you most definitely have no business being at a bar/club/pub. Heck even if you still just wanted to drink for the enjoyment buy some and have it at home, it would be much MUCH cheap and so much safer for everyone. Also before ever stepping into any bar/club/pub have a firm budget in mind, don't go spending what was set aside for transport on more drinks and if you've reached that level of reckless behavior it means it's time to go home.
@@101falconidk… I’m broke but still go out with my friends but I make damn sure I walk home before ever getting into a friends car or my car if we are all drinking. We all make sure there is a way to get home. Even us broke asses know how to be safe. So there really is no excuse.
I’m a recovering alcoholic who got behind the wheel and rear-ended someone else. Luckily we both walked away with minor cuts and bruises, and I was initially charged with a felony. NEVER did I EVER wonder “why me?” or wonder why THIS was happening TO ME. All I felt was guilt for traumatizing the person I rear-ended and others on the road, all I could think about was how easily I could have killed her and how horrifying it must have been for her family members to hear their loved one was in a crash. I got extremely lucky in my case, luckier than I deserved. When someone tried to comfort me telling me I made a mistake, my response was always, “No, I made a decision.” I thank my lucky stars every day that no one got seriously hurt or worse. No, Jamie. This isn’t happening to you. YOU are what happened. Learn some fucking empathy and accountability.
Due to the passing of a classmate a law was passed in my state where the penalty for drunk drivers can face up to 20 years in prison and 30 years for subsequent convictions. This law should be widespread.
As a former bartender those bars should definitely be liable too. Her BAC was crazy high!! When you see someone getting sloshed you always ask how they are getting home. Yes, they can lie. Ive cut plenty of people off who get ao mad they want to fight. It doesnt matter. This is what happens when you over serve and over drink. Jamie is a disgusting person and needs to be finally held accountable for her actions.
A former bartender here too. We literally NEED to get licensed to even pour drinks, and the course specifically even says we need to count drinks on some patrons who display major intoxicated cues. We need to even take away car keys if necessary. I never had to do it, since I served at the hotel bistro, so most of the people that get drunk at our bar just go upstairs and pass out.
yup! previous bartender & server here! i’ve also hosted and still had to intervene i always called a cab even if they had a car there with them if no one was sober enough to drive (literally like had more than one drink and not a shot a DRINK) then i’d call a cab & the manager would let them leave their car overnight and come back for it the next day (usually the owner/manager of places are what call tow trucks for cars overnight so you have to get their approval)
I was both a retail cashier and a gas station clerk who has denied alcohol sales to people who show signs of intoxication, slurring, balance, and breath. 50/50 on the understanding vs the crazed. We have even called the police on people who clearly drove to the gas station drunk. One of us would pretend to run the trash out and get the plate number after verifying the drunk is in the driver seat.
That's what I was thinking. She must be a pretty experienced drinker to even be forming sentences or standing with a BAC that high. At that point its not the bartenders fault sometimes its hard to tell when someone is blacked out if they are alcoholics. That BAC is scary even to me and I drink quite a bit unfortunately. @@rachelforshee6014
Quick case update: The husband recieved a settlement from 2 bars Jamie was drinking at. Also, she has been indicted for 1 count of reckless vehicular homicide and 3 counts of driving under the influence causing death or great bodily injury. Each with up to 25 years in prison.
I looked for an update and it looks like she’s out after her $150k bond was posted, she’s now on house arrest with the ankle monitor. They’re still waiting for a trial date….
I remember reading this on ig i thought this was bs the story because this story so painful its hard for me to believe it still but the fact she’s covering it makes this story surreal. I can’t imagine the hurt for the family and her husband involved….
Mother of the bride is a P.O.S. herself suing her son-in-law saying the marriage is not legit because they didn't consummate the marriage that night and wants all the settlement and life insurance money for herself. My heart breaks for the son in law
As a newlywed, I cried and hugged my husband really tight after listening to this story. I can't even imagine losing him let alone the night of our wedding.
Congratulations! I'm hoping to get engaged to my partner soon and listening to this absolutely broke my heart, I can't imagine anything much more tragic than losing someone you JUST committed to spend your life with. Heartbreaking!
Congratulations to you both. I heard this story right before my wedding and also hugged my wife tightly. I couldn’t even imagine losing her. I wish you guys the best and a healthy life together.
It looks like she never took accountability on anything she had done in her life and I bet it's due to her enabling parents. I don't only blame Jamie but her parents also, her parents saying that she did nothing wrong it was an accident like are you for real she was drinking and driving under the influence no one put a gun to her head and told her to drink and drive she choose to do these things. The fact that she had four traffic violations and prior the the accident she had gotten in trouble for not signaling when turning she defiantly need to face the consequences of her action.
She is such a whiny brat. She's like a child throwing a tantrum because their ice cream fell on the floor. The fact that her parents are babying her and enabling this reaction is beyond me. You chose to drink and drive. "Why me?" Because you made a really stupid decision. You didn't know your limitations. You didn't even care. You didn't care about your safety or anyone else's. Even after she got out of her drunken stupor and realized she killed a person and injured 3 others....no remorse. She is a selfish mean brat who can't take accountability. Can't even show respect to the victim's family. Instead she thinks the world is out to get her. No you made a stupid mistake. This is what happens when you make dumb decisions like drinking and driving. She should have known better. You drink. You don't drive. Period. You call an uber or your parents or your bf you were begging for. So self centered. No remorse is what really makes my blood boil. I feel so bad for Sam and her family. The best night instantly becomes the worse. Heartbreaking
She acts like a toddler and never learned frustration tolerance, which is key for growing mature. Children usually start learning frustration tolerance during their toddler years and with about 8 - 9 years, they have usually completed learning this if raised in a healthy manner. She seems to be totally stuck in the age of a 3 - 5 year old, while having the opportunity to do things like a mature adult. Her parents are feeding her this delusional mindset. While some people may perceive the parents' role here as overly loving and caring for their daughter, it must be understood completely different in my opinion: the parents totally failed raising her to be a critical, self reflecting, contious, mature adult. By telling her "bad things happen to good people" they are also soothing themselves and expressing their own innocence although their education on ethics and their methods of raising their daughter practically caused her to stay psychologically in this delusional and self-centered state that only applies to a toddler by nature. I have a bunch of sons, meanwhile all adults, so I know what trouble some kids may sometimes cause while growing up. It's the duty of the parents to teach the kids to gain insight in their wrongdoings and to teach them how to then solve the matter in a self-responsible way. Concerning alcohol... She seems to be what is called a "functioning alcoholic". She also was bar hopping and not binge drinking at only one bar. So she probably wasn't even perceived as drunk upon arrival and only had two or three drinks at every bar she visited. Bartenders and other staff only see and acknowledge the guests before the last drink they order. So if she didn't stumble around and could talk straight, which is always hard to check on in noisy environments like some bars are, then the staff wouldn't even have noticed her as being drunk. She probably either paid with cash and left a good tip or she paid with credit card, so the staff also couldn't have noticed her struggle with numbers, like maybe a shop owner would have. I don't really see the bars and their staff as being responsible for her evil actions. She decided to drink and drive beforehand. She could have gotten a taxi on her way to the bars and on her way home. She knew she was going to a bar to drink, so why take the car along? I always plan my transport when going out beforehand, and I have done so since I got my license. I also often was the driver for my friends and therefore was the one to stay sober and drive. If nobody wanted to drive, we had other means of transport. So there are many ways to not drink and drive. And if drinking and driving were a major part of being an alcoholic, then many more people would drive drunken and many more accidents would happen. No, you don't have to be a reckless drunken driver just because you are addicted to alcohol!!! As she has no insight in her bad choices and actions that resulted in her being a missile of pure evil that night, she shouldn't be allowed to go free soon and also she should be forced by all legal means to not consume drugs. In addition, her drivers license must be taken away. She in fact is a risk to her environment. And as long as she does not recognize that, she will keep on being a missile ready for take-off. In detention center she only had her screaming fits, but they are only substitutes. Outside of detention center or environment with limited access, she will probably drink, do drugs, and drive in addition to screaming fits. I also have this gut feeling that mom may have a drinking problem as well and her killing that firefighter on the street may also have happened with intoxication. I don't think it's hard to get control over the blood results of a lab if you can also have a sheriff doing you favors. I don't know of course, but something doesn't seem right. The firefighter's family may have more information on this. Anyhow, mom was her roll model, that we also shouldn't forget. Mom got away with 100,000 $ for taking one life. They probably used this figure for calculating the costs for their daughter's killing and injuring people. Probably dad tries to get things settled with about 200k to 250,000 $ for his daughter now. He does seem like he has this going on in his mind. Also him stopping her from talking more about the sheriff's help, literally showed that he is involved behind the scenes. I don't think that's legal, so this must be looked into as well. I the old days in Germanic culture one would have to compensate the loss of the family. In this case, it would mean that they would literally have to hand over all their belongings and themselves to the bride's family and the killer daughter would be marked and sent off in the woods, excluded for life from all society. The bride was the only daughter to her parents and didn't have children yet to pass on their blood to the next generation. The husband has been taken the chance to live his life with his beloved wife, and also did not have children with her to establish future generations. Life was a very precious good to our ancestors and only since the industrial revolution has materialistic stuff become more important than life itself. This is wrong because it opposes nature. This beautiful couple was killed, both of them. The husband can't even think back to his happiest day in life because it also was the day of his wife's murder. A wonderful family had been killed by this evil, self-centered and artificial person, who does not even value life after she has *destroyed* so many lives and killed a wonderful human being. I would like to see in detail how this case evolves and how things go from now on. Thank you again for the good coverage of a crime, although I found it this time a little distracting when you talked in detail about this bride and the perfect shot with the golf cart in the beginning. At first I thought this video was about her and only understood when the accident happened, that this was yet another bride. 😮 Thank you for your efforts and time. 🙏🏻 Cheers from Germany 🇩🇪 🍻
she keeps talking about her happiness but not the happiness of those she hurt. i dont understand why she just cant comprehend that she took lives. she's acting like she broke a case is absurd. this takes dumb american to a new level
I believe it's related to the right against illegal search and seizure. It's protected some innocent people from being charged for drunk driving, such as if people get pulled over for a broken tail light and they had just used mouthwash. There are a number of things that can cause a false-positive during a breath test, so a blood test is more reliable. It's also hard to give a breath test to someone who refuses to give one. But I bet it didn't take very long to get the warrant to get the blood test.
In mY case he did. And they had to get a warrent. 5 hours later he showed alchol at o.6 meaning he was 11 at the time he crashed into my son killing him.
Police don't need a sobriety test to detain someone for DWI. The sobriety test can show to what degree someone is intoxicated but refusing the test doesn't mean they go free. You can't force someone to blow into it, you need their cooperation. If the person won't do it right, the test won't work. And they can't analyze blood in the car.
Just saw a news article that the brides mom is now suing the husband for the financial compensation he received from the bars, claiming the marriage wasn’t valid because it was not consummated. Which is wild to me. And such an offense to the husband. A claim that the love of his life was not his wife. And now that’s gonna be remembered as part of her case instead of the needless death. Rip Samantha 🕊️
I am sad for the mother's lost, but she had a go fund me and the mother didn't pay for the funeral. fame and $$ went in her head. Milking someone's death is sick
She's basically saying their marriage wasn't real because the wife was tragically killed before they actually had their wedding night which is basically trying to punish HIM and invalidate the last action and decision of her own daughter (getting married to the man) at no fault of his own. I don't understand how she can be so callous.
Wait, the groom's MIL, the mother of the bride, is suing HIM after her daughter was killed by a drunk woman? What, did she want them to immediately start ripping off clothes and consumate on the podium floor just in case a drunk woman kills them all on the way home? Shouldn't she be suing the drunk woman for preventing that? I feel terrible for the husband, but I also can't help but be relieved that he won't have to deal with that level of crazy (much) when this is all over with.
This case hit harder for me due to the fact that my boyfriend (21 y/o) was killed by a reckless driver just over a month ago. Of course the kid that hit him is claiming he was scared for his life because my boyfriend and his friends were riding motorcycles. How does that defense even make sense? I don’t know, but the victim complex reaches far. The sheer audacity to kill another person and then make it about yourself is so disgusting. I’m so disturbed by the driver that killed my boyfriend and I hope we get justice in the upcoming trial.
God bless you, my condolences, I have a spot for for people who are remorseful and want to do better, but people like Jamie and the young man who took your boyfriend's life should rot in jail. No remorse at all.
@@LongLostInideQueen you know nothing about him other than he was "wreckless" (gonna trust someone who spells like that?) motorcycles are notoriously dangerous. she didn't say he was under the influence, so why exactly should he rot in jail? like, car accidents happen... and sometimes people die. especially if they're on motorcycles. there isn't someone rotting in jail for every car accident death. also, you have no idea whether he feels remorse, its not her place to make that call and definitely not your place. you know nothing. why is the world filled with people who react emotionally and not logically?
car accidents happen and motorcycles are dangerous. i'm sorry for your loss but people don't go to jail for every vehicle death. also its spelled reckless. you don't even say what he did, just that he was "wreck less"
@@barbrothers2 good point, glanced back over the message and assumed he was under the influence. The main point of my comment was though, that he gave a bullshit reason that was false to protect himself after taking some one’s life in a way that could have been prevented….remorseless people are not fit for society when at a point where they can’t be rehabilitated.
Its awful because she feels no guilt or remorse. Shes only caring about herself. And its natural to start hating for the acting of hers - its shows how helpless we are against actions that egomaniacs like her cause. And that is why we need a justice system...
I think cars should require a breath test to work for everyone and it gets saved in the black box. Addiction isn't all that rational and society just needs a better solution to this than just punishment. I saw a man kill a family driving a trunk drunk. Apparently his third time drunk driving, but he didn't even have a license anymore. If all vehicles couldn't start without a clear breathalyzer I think this would help.
I am not defending Jamie. I think her accountability is despicable. I do agree golf carts should share roads with cars driving above 10 km an hour with speed bumps. road and city design is i portant assuming that "prison sentences" never solved drunk driving.
Poor Eric. Having a perfect start to a new life horrifically cut short by a drunk narcissist, then to have his brand new MIL discount the day as nothing...to negate the joyful wedding because "the marriage wasn't registered and she didn't change her name". Eric has lost everything
Samantha’s mother sounds about as disgusting as the drunk good for nothing that killed her. That’s so very sad sound like the mother didn’t care for Eric much. If she did she wouldn’t act like that
Eric got a settlement most likely bcuz he was so injured plus he lost his wife. I'm sure the brother and nephew could sue as well bcuz of injuries and trauma. Why would he mother think that's hers? She sounds horrible!!!!
I hold it with alcohol and driving the same way my mom does: Even with just a sip of alcohol in the system, we do not get behind the wheel. With just a sip you are still very much in the legal limit, but if anything happens, we would question if it would have happened sober too.
When it first happened I remember going to this girl’s instagram and reading the comments and watching her friends and family try to defend her actions and talk about how traumatic it was for her…for HER I was LIVIDDDD
@@michellecolon8293 its not taken down surprisingly! Normally the family members would take down the instagram acocunt but they didnt, its jamiek143 if your intrested
there are ppl literally defending her by saying "Come on we've all drunk and driven at least once she was just unlucky no need to bully her" entitlement at its best
I'm glad too, but the mother is a special cookie herself. She is now claiming that the couple weren't legally married because they didn't get to spend their wedding night together. She is trying to claim Samantha's estate. The husband has offered to split the money 50/50 with her to just drop the claim, but she's still refusing.
@@purgal5250it must be a very complicated situation to be in. I know that there’s a period of time where the marriage can be annulled. I wonder if death during a wedding night would fit that situation..
@@lilyxo6914 The only real time an annulment is allowed after death is if there is something about the marriage that makes it invalid. Something like incest, bigamy, one is underage, or mental incompetence. That isn't the case here. From what I can find in public records it really seams like a money grab. It's super heartbreaking.
My daughter went to college with this trash. She knew of her bc they were in the same sorority, but she didn’t really know her. But the stories I’ve heard from her of her behavior back then is disgusting. This isn’t a one off. She just never got caught or actually hurt anyone prior to this. I was hoping Stephanie would cover this. Bc her perspective is always very interesting.
@@Patricia-hx4dh well one sticks in my mind the most. she was leaving a local bar one night. This bar was close to campus and as she was leaving she was hitting parked cars on the way out. And did not even care, or maybe she didn’t even notice idk. And before anyone comes at me saying my daughter should have done something, she was not there. They did not hang out. However it spread through the sorority as you can imagine it would. And I believe she either quit or was kicked out after a short time. I cant remember which. Her words were she was always doing crazy stuff. I can ask her again for more details. Bc she was telling me about her literally the day the story broke and that particular one was the only one that stuck. I was so heartbroken for Sam and her husband I didn’t retain any other details. I will ask her though. Bc I’m surprised they haven’t come out yet. Or maybe they have and they are using it for court idk. I had posted on another you tuber covering this and someone else confirmed she was batshit crazy. Very entitled. I’m really shocked it took this long for something to happen like this. Anyway I’ll ask her again and follow up with other incidents.
@@gahyeonlvr7501 she only knew of her bc of the sorority. I’m sure many have that actually hung out with her. At least I hope they have. This isn’t a one off and I agree it should be known that she has been careless for a long time.
Unfortunately, out of every restaurant I've served at over the last decade+, I've only ever seen ONE person cut off. Hell, they even overserved employees after their shifts. It's awful and something needs to be done to further enforce these requirements for restaurants and bars. They dont care about anything but the money. They just think it wont happen to them and they continue to overserve. I'M ESPECIALLY LOOKING AT YOU, Teak Neighborhood Grill in Maitland FL
100% I have seen this. I've been out with my mom and her boyfriend and he was driving but kept having shots, even after I told the server he was driving and not to bring anymore shots, she still did. I was furious.
The audacity of her saying golf carts shouldn’t be allowed on the road. Well, also drunk people shouldn’t be allowed to drive. And yet. Such a horrible and chilling tragedy, this is heartbreaking.
Actually down in here in NC and SC I’m pretty sure, golf carts, dirt bikes and ATVs can be and are street legal! Know what’s not still? Drunk driving 😂
There’s a saying in Swahili that goes “Asiye funzwa na mamaye hufunzwa na ulimwengu” directly translates to if you’re not taught by your mom, the world will teach you a lesson. This was a heartbreaking case, I hope the family can learn to cope with this tragedy and may Samantha’s beautiful soul rest in peace.
Especially because she won’t actually receive any of the intensive treatment she needs in prison. And she would need years and years of intensive treatment imo.
@@sakurakou2009i think its possible, but the first and most important step is realising theres something wrong in the first place, that theres even something to be fixed, which a lot of narciccists inherently dont have
The bride’s mother is a monster. She is trying to deny the husband’s right to the brides estate and refers to her by her maiden name bc the marriage certificate wasn’t filed yet. I think he settled with her to split the bride’s assets- even though they had already lived together and had intertwined finances. Greedy mother in law
The thing that sickens me the most, is that they advocate for her to not to apologize to them, because it's an admission of guilt, and that hurts the court case, and negates the money they've spent on their expensive attorney. They aren't even parents that save the day. They're just parents that pay expensive janitors.
@@cleanserene6330She sounds about 15 years old. It's sad for her that she's been babied her whole life and not taught about responsibility. I agree that it's terrifying to think that she could wind up back out on the road not having changed her ways.
The fact that she had to place blame on the golf cart and therefore blaming the couple shows how her parents brought her up. She grew up believing everyone should adjust for her. Disgusting human being.
The fact that her alcohol levels test still came out 3x higher than the legal limit HOURS AFTER the accident, considering they still need to wait for the warrant, etc., says a lot. The entitlement also obviously came from her parents babying her so much. All the whining, like she did not decide to get shitfaced drunk, went behind the wheel and DROVE.
It maybe went down. They do the math. From the hours past. The drunk driver thst killed my son. Denied it they had to get a warrent. 5 hours later it was 0.6. With tbe math done at the time of the tradigy he was at 1.1. Over the limit and not well to drive. The man died 10 days later. I am glad I don't have to see my sons killer in court. Apprently this man had a rep to show up drunk to work. My son got killed at 6.55am in the morning. 2.0 it's extremely high double . I feel bad for the victims family.
I have such a hatred for drunk drivers since one killed the old lady neighbor that I loved like a mother. This just makes me feel ill, I can’t help but feel the tears coming at the lack of awareness of this piece of trash.
I'm struggling with alcoholism. I do have a driver's license but no car because I'm too scared I might ever do something horrible when in a drunk stupor. I usually lock myself up in my apartment when I'm having a rough night. Keeps me (and most importantly everyone else) safe. I don't understand people who would drive something as potentially dangerous as a car when drunk.
I think we have an idea on why this girl is the way she is with her accountability. Her parents just keep making excuses for her. Part of me wonders if they're not actually making excuses for her but they're just trying to say face in front of her so that things don't get worse for them. I'm sure this chick is crazy
She's a direct byproduct of her parents coddling her too much. The act in itself is gutrenching, but her complete lack of remorse or care for anyone but herself is even more sickening.
@@nickpavia9021How you are raised absolutely has a massive impact on who you turn out to be. Parents don't like to hear it, but bad parenting results in bad people.
What bothers me is that its ALWAYS the victim that dies.... never the one drinking, never the one who isn't paying attention. They always come out of accidents unharmed and it breaks my heart.
This is so INFURIATING. it wasnt just an “accident” she took the decision of driving while being drunk, she KNEW she wanted to get drunk and still decided to drive instead of getting an uber or calling her stupid parents to pick her up. she’s so self centered, selfish and cruel i cant believe someone raised this person to be so evil and disgusting
this family is so messed up.. the fact that the mom only had to pay $100,000 after killing a firefighter on duty is also very telling. who in their right mind would speed up if there's smoke on the road anyway? I don't believe she's actually innocent, she probably got a really good attorney
The mother of a drunk driver who killed a South Carolina bride on her wedding night was involved in an eerily similar crash ten years ago where a New Jersey firefighter died. Traci Komoroski, 62, the mother of Jamie Lee Komoroski, 25, was in a wreck in 2013 that resulted in the death of Forest Fire Service Warden Jeffrey Scheuerer.
On Dec 2, 2024 Jamie was sentenced to 25 years in prison for felony DUI causing death, 15 years for felony DUI causing great bodily injury, and 10 years for reckless homicide. She’ll serve these sentences concurrently 👎🏻
If you're an alcoholic just sell your car. It's what I did. I've never drunk driven but I thought about it. And the day I thought about it - sold the car within the same week. Destroying my life is one thing but putting others in danger, no way. Even after I quit drinking, sober for 3 years, I didn't buy a new one, just in case.
Great insight and very responsible. I often thought the something similar, that after a second DUI or a first DUI with an injury, people should only be allowed to drive a motorcycle.
I have a friend who has been through some things. They did he same when they went into rehab, but now they are sober, they have a device that they have to blow into before the car starts. They don't drink+drive, but if they ever get behind the wheel with ANY amount of alcohol on their breath, the car won't start regardless of the amount of alcohol: legal limit or not.
This isn’t always possible depending on where you live. I live in Memphis. Yes there is a bus service- it does not run on Sunday and the schedule is more of a loose set of guidelines- using ride share is like 20-40$ both ways.
This girl has never faced any consequences in her life. It's disgusting how casual she seems about the entire situation. She was responsible for the death of someone. She nearly killed three other people. How can you not feel any remorse? It's insane how people can act like this after committing an atrocity.
This case makes me so mad! She has taken NO accountability for her actions. How dare she think that she should walk away unpunished. Post updates please.
THANK YOU SO MUCH STEPHANIE for stating that alcoholism does not equate to drunk driving. It actually has nothing to do with it. Omg I could go on and on but it will drive me crazy! Just.. thank you cuz that is real. ❤
I wonder if Jamie’s parents actually realize how much they failed her growing up, and with them enabling her bad behavior in adulthood, I’m not surprised that she probably hasn’t even thought about the fact that someone is actually DEAD because of her. This whole thing is just horrible.
Nope. They are narcisists and enablers. It's narcisism breading narcism. Doubtful anything will change their thought process and views. They likely have family and friends that also coddle them.
@@Hunk666What? They're stating that her parents had a direct impact on who Jamie turned into; spoiled, reckless and lacking empathy. They aren't saying Jamie isn't to blame, they're stating it's clear where her parents went wrong. Jamie is the one who killed a woman, but her parents are the ones coddling her and telling her it's OK.
I’m offended too. I am in recovery and have been for years. I was in an addiction and I never hurt anyone but myself. The issue here is not alcohol, it’s her complete lack of self awareness and care for others and it shows in the jail calls
i agree. i'm also a recovering addict and while i wasn't the greatest person in active addiction and hurt people close to me emotionally in this time through lying about my addiction etc. i never was a danger to others safety. even at my lowest points i'd never ever would have done something even close to what she had done and stuff that could hurt others was always a hard no to me. this isn't about addiction, this is about being an entitled, selfish, unempathetic, terrible person who was enabled by her parents and privilege. the addiction is just the cherry on the top, i seriously believe that she would've also been a dangerous person if she always would've been sober.
@@technobrain666idd, and imagine even IF anyone makes such a mistake or crime whiles drunk, the remorse, shame and guilt after would be all consuming of your thoughts. Not the darn cat or "why me" crap whiles they toulk someones life. Its insane 😮🤮
i heard about this case from others but there wasn't a lot of detail about it. people need to stop coddling their children because they never learn not to invade other people's boundaries, they never learn to respect other people's "no," and they never learn the concept of "consequences." like if my kid were a bully, i would be absolutely heartbroken. i can't imagine continuously babying someone after they've wronged so many people. drunk drivers have no regard for life and this girl caring about her own welfare vs the fact that she murdered someone-absolutely abhorrent behavior.
For some parents it's just easier to give the kid whatever they want then to actually teach them to be a good person. Some even view kids as an extension of themselves and can therefore do no wrong.
I’m currently dealing with my nine-year-old bullying his little brother and I heard he was being mean to someone at school and the last thing I would do is ignore that behavior. He and his brothers are going to be put in counseling next week because yes they know they can come to me with anything but sometimes it takes an outside source or counseling or therapy to help them with the emotions that they have and to not take them out on others and act a fool. As a parent, I can’t imagine just letting my kids become horrible adults like if I don’t do something about it now they turn into terrors.
@@LoreleiCatherine be careful with the choice of your counselor. You might end up two sessions later with your boys claiming to be born in the wrong body. 😢
She acts like a toddler and never learned frustration tolerance, which is key for growing mature. Children usually start learning frustration tolerance during their toddler years and with about 8 - 9 years, they have usually completed learning this if raised in a healthy manner. She seems to be totally stuck in the age of a 3 - 5 year old, while having the opportunity to do things like a mature adult. Her parents are feeding her this delusional mindset. While some people may perceive the parents' role here as overly loving and caring for their daughter, it must be understood completely different in my opinion: the parents totally failed raising her to be a critical, self reflecting, contious, mature adult. By telling her "bad things happen to good people" they are also soothing themselves and expressing their own innocence although their education on ethics and their methods of raising their daughter practically caused her to stay psychologically in this delusional and self-centered state that only applies to a toddler by nature. I have a bunch of sons, meanwhile all adults, so I know what trouble some kids may sometimes cause while growing up. It's the duty of the parents to teach the kids to gain insight in their wrongdoings and to teach them how to then solve the matter in a self-responsible way. Concerning alcohol... She seems to be what is called a "functioning alcoholic". She also was bar hopping and not binge drinking at only one bar. So she probably wasn't even perceived as drunk upon arrival and only had two or three drinks at every bar she visited. Bartenders and other staff only see and acknowledge the guests before the last drink they order. So if she didn't stumble around and could talk straight, which is always hard to check on in noisy environments like some bars are, then the staff wouldn't even have noticed her as being drunk. She probably either paid with cash and left a good tip or she paid with credit card, so the staff also couldn't have noticed her struggle with numbers, like maybe a shop owner would have. I don't really see the bars and their staff as being responsible for her evil actions. She decided to drink and drive beforehand. She could have gotten a taxi on her way to the bars and on her way home. She knew she was going to a bar to drink, so why take the car along? I always plan my transport when going out beforehand, and I have done so since I got my license. I also often was the driver for my friends and therefore was the one to stay sober and drive. If nobody wanted to drive, we had other means of transport. So there are many ways to not drink and drive. And if drinking and driving were a major part of being an alcoholic, then many more people would drive drunken and many more accidents would happen. No, you don't have to be a reckless drunken driver just because you are addicted to alcohol!!! As she has no insight in her bad choices and actions that resulted in her being a missile of pure evil that night, she shouldn't be allowed to go free soon and also she should be forced by all legal means to not consume drugs. In addition, her drivers license must be taken away. She in fact is a risk to her environment. And as long as she does not recognize that, she will keep on being a missile ready for take-off. In detention center she only had her screaming fits, but they are only substitutes. Outside of detention center or environment with limited access, she will probably drink, do drugs, and drive in addition to screaming fits. I also have this gut feeling that mom may have a drinking problem as well and her killing that firefighter on the street may also have happened with intoxication. I don't think it's hard to get control over the blood results of a lab if you can also have a sheriff doing you favors. I don't know of course, but something doesn't seem right. The firefighter's family may have more information on this. Anyhow, mom was her roll model, that we also shouldn't forget. Mom got away with 100,000 $ for taking one life. They probably used this figure for calculating the costs for their daughter's killing and injuring people. Probably dad tries to get things settled with about 200k to 250,000 $ for his daughter now. He does seem like he has this going on in his mind. Also him stopping her from talking more about the sheriff's help, literally showed that he is involved behind the scenes. I don't think that's legal, so this must be looked into as well. I the old days in Germanic culture one would have to compensate the loss of the family. In this case, it would mean that they would literally have to hand over all their belongings and themselves to the bride's family and the killer daughter would be marked and sent off in the woods, excluded for life from all society. The bride was the only daughter to her parents and didn't have children yet to pass on their blood to the next generation. The husband has been taken the chance to live his life with his beloved wife, and also did not have children with her to establish future generations. Life was a very precious good to our ancestors and only since the industrial revolution has materialistic stuff become more important than life itself. This is wrong because it opposes nature. This beautiful couple was killed, both of them. The husband can't even think back to his happiest day in life because it also was the day of his wife's murder. A wonderful family had been killed by this evil, self-centered and artificial person, who does not even value life after she has *destroyed* so many lives and killed a wonderful human being. I would like to see in detail how this case evolves and how things go from now on. Thank you again for the good coverage of a crime, although I found it this time a little distracting when you talked in detail about this bride and the perfect shot with the golf cart in the beginning. At first I thought this video was about her and only understood when the accident happened, that this was yet another bride. 😮 Thank you for your efforts and time. 🙏🏻 Cheers from Germany 🇩🇪 🍻
i can't imagine how hard it is to get a wheelchair onto a beach. getting a man in a wheelchair onto the beach, where he was just married, to grieve his wife in her favorite place on earth.........sounds deeply painful. the sight of the vigil is absolutely devastating, knowing all those mourners were just recently there to celebrate.
the cat in samantha's arms........now that's what the love of an animal looks like. even her cat loved her deeply. i hope jamie never gets to see her own damn cat again.
The wheelchair you see there is a special kind specifically designed to take people onto beaches. It has wide rubber tires to spread out the weight so it doesn't get rutted in. Some beaches will allow those who need wheelchairs to borrow them for free.
I would have broke down even more if I was the one pushing him out there and we got stuck and I couldn’t move him. Walking in sand is a struggle in itself
My favorite thing about learning these things through this channel is the empathy, and delicate nature she talks about these events… especially the heart breaking details…. It really gives you a more humane look into terrible events and actions of terrible people. Jamie is a rancid person with main character syndrome… I hope she’s never allowed another drop of alcohol or gets the opportunity to drive another car. Disgusting actions, whining like a toddler over something that could “happen to anyone”? Ma’am not everybody is stupid enough to drive impaired and cause vehicular man slaughter! Ridiculous…. And those parents need to get a grip, their child murdered someone and it was just “a tragic accident”?
Imagine having to celebrate one of the happiest days of your lives with the person you love just to face tragedy of somebody’s carelessness and no sense or remorse or guilt but rather selfishness. Pure evil and the parents being enabling her and pampering her is disgusting!!!!! My heart breaks for the victims.
This tragedy happened down the street from my parents house.. the total disregard for literally everyone but herself is astounding..How can you ruin so many lives and yet you see the way she still acts.. she deserves the worst idc, going that fast down pitch black small residential streets even while drunk is just.. unreal dude. Complete negligence. She’s a murderer.
@@meredithdavis6663everyone was devastated, they’re also sick and tired of people who don’t live there ruining the island, like the girl in this video. I don’t live on the island, I’m much more inland in a different part of town but still think about it often 😢
This case happened 20 minutes from me. It really resonated with everyone here. RIP to Samantha and prayers to her loved ones. I truly hope Eric can heal from this.
You wouldn't be the kind of parent to raise someone like her The apple doesn't fall far from the tree (Obviously not always, some good parents still just have awful kids)
My kids are my world, my everything and unless they are a serial killer or a predator I would never never turn my back on them. What she did is horrible but she didn’t wake up that morning and said I’m going to kill a bride today. Those bars that served her should also be responsible it’s part of their job not to over serve.
Stephanie, you are so good at explaining phrases and words some people might not know. I also agree that it's good to experience consequences and even a little shame when very young to learn to AVOID stupid choices.
She made a poor choice, but her behavior afterwards, even after she sobered up...her words make her such an abhorrent character. Her parents spoiled her rotten. She's rotten. Clearly.
this reminds me of a 24yr old woman who killed my friend's friend who was riding his bike home from work. she left him for dead on the side of the road and tried to hide from the cops. she eventually was caught and only got 2 years in prison. her dad posted on his facebook something along the lines of "thank you all for the support as something really bad happened to our family" she's already out after 1yr and partying with her dad. it's so infuriating
@@eveangel8967 There's actually 1 true reason and 1 other theory, so the true reason is that typically some prisons hand pick people with crimes not as bad as the others to get very and I mean very short sentences. Typically, they do this so open up more room in a prison, aka saving money. Now the conspiracy part of this is that some people think that if let's say a police station has a really bad reputation, they'll give some prisoners shorter sentences so they can re-offend. The catch is it's believed that they are closely monitored so they can arrest them easily and gain a higher reputation. Obviously, just a theory but extremely believable.
@@eveangel8967 Women get on average a 65% less harsh sentence than men for the same crime in the US. That is why she is already out, a man would lose at least 20 years of his life.
The fact that you can get so drunk and still drive is crazy . You put other people at risk. A Sane person will only think about what they’ve done. Insanity is what drives people to madness. No remorse or sense of guilt
She was sentenced to 25 years as of December 3 2024. Personally I belive her tears during her statment to the court was more for herself then those she impacted. I hope the survivors and Sams family finds a way to recover together.
Kept sobbing at "I don't want this day to ever end". The only thing I can pray for is that this beautiful bride has that request come true and she is forever reliving that day in heaven. 💔
If she gets convicted to the highest degree, she can get 100 years in prison. She's on trial for one count of reckless vehicular homicide and three counts of driving under the influence causing death. Each of these counts is up to 25 years. If she doesn't get the highest, then she is still not going to be going ANYWHERE anytime soon. And I hope she never gets out.
@@barbrothers2 Expensive attorney, “victim” white girl, dad has connections, she’ll do 5 out in 3 just in time to kill somebody else. Hooray American justice system.
I used to bartend and was always so worried about anything like this. We were a dive bar so had a lot of regulars. Took many keys away many times and our male staff would give the guys rides home. Us girls would take the female patrons home. Our small town didn’t have a taxi service and this was before Uber and Lyft. Drunk driving scares the crap out of me.
Throughout this video, I was very irritated by the whole child-like behavior she had, but I got TRULY MAD at 35:55, when she says that "golf carts shouldn't be allowed in the freaking road". Like, bffr???? YOU. WERE. DRUNK. DRIVING!!!!
As someone who works in bars, it is indeed the law that bars are held liable if someone is clearly way too wasted and they continue to serve them just so they can make the money. If something is to happen it is something they can legally be sued for. She was visibly drunk. They knew they shouldn’t have served her anymore and they did it anyway.
Not to defend her or anything but when I think about it, she did hop between barsto drink one or two then move on to an other bar and do the same- To me, it sounded more like she knew she will get away with over drinking by doing this and it adds more to how awful and scary she is-
I, too, find the addiction angle offensive. Also, 4-6 _weeks_ in rehab? I overdosed and went for 4 months. My ex stole out of a few cars and had to go for a _year_ . And I better not see ANYONE talk about alcoholism as an excuse in this. I’m a heroin and meth addict in recovery with a family of alcoholics. Even if she is an alcoholic, IT IS NEVER AN EXCUSE. You can be high or drunk in your own home. This woman makes me blood boil
@ville__@ville2_ are you starting an entertainment channel for sociopaths and psychotics like yourself? Which aspect do you find the most amusing, the woman's grief or the dead dog? Are you currently under psychiatric care? Is this your first foray into videos for exceptionally damaged people, or have you been at this for awhile? Have you always lacked empathy, compassion, and emotional intelligence? Have you ever heard of the phrase "read the room?" Do you know what it means? Do your parents know this is what you get up to in your basement room? Is it their fault you are this way? You probably don't have a lot of friends, huh?
This this this, issues like addiction aren't an excuse, they don't take away a person's responsibility for their own actions. Had a guy once blame him SAing me on being addicted to weed at the time and having borderline and dude, just no, that's not how that works Also, I hope your recovery is still going well and that you continue to get back in your feet!
A sherrifs son plowed through one of my former coworkers in a crosswalk at around 11:30pm as she was leaving her shift at the bar. He walked with no charges. I hear stories of corruption everyday I pray for accountability.
I was a bartender for years i have stopped patrons from being served i have taken keys and gotten them rides home. As a bartender it was my responsibility to not over serve. It could cost me and the business.
I commend you for that my question is did you ever fear of repercussions ? Like if you took their keys can someone sue you for possession of stolen property
Is it like an expected thing in the US, where everyone is arriving by car? Or just one person drives and three go to get themselves the drinks? In Europe we just call a taxi/Uber, or catch a bus. Nobody would ever take the keys of a car from somebody.

Honestly, I'm surprised more people don't include the hell that Samantha's mother has put Eric through. While everyone can be exceptionally understanding and empathetic to the trauma of mother's loss (including the toxic behaviors that can oftentimes result from it)... it seems like people just ignore the absolute devastation that this newlywed husband has gone through and has only been exacerbated by his mother in law. However, what she's been doing is on an entirely different level of awful. This includes trying to essentially erase his existence from her, trying to remove his last name from Samantha, trying to take their money, trying to suggest he's out for money when he hasn't done anything that she has (including trying to take all of her daughter's money), putting out awful suggestions about him, trying to make him out as though he's not a victim, making him out to be a terrible person for giving a single interview - far after others went on a long media tour and implied he wasn't actually important in this story, and so much more. There is so much more trauma and disgusting behavior involved this. I feel absolutely horrible for everyone involved, but especially her widowed husband. I hope in time, he will feel seen and is getting all the support for the immense life long trauma and physical damage he will have to cope with.
I absolutely agree with you. I didn’t know all of what you stated. But I seen her saying about her daughter in an interview, her last name is Miller. Do not address her as anything but Miller. And she was straight shitty. And I understand she lost a daughter, I could not imagine, however if she would just stop and think what her daughter would want. She goes on to say that it was a little spat between the 2 of them prior to the wedding. And she wasn’t happy her daughter took his name. But Sam compromised and said she’d hyphen her name and also any of their kids name. It rubbed me wrong. But I guess I couldn’t say how I would be if it happened to me. I didn’t know she was doing all those other things. It’s like she needs someone to blame and is blaming the wrong person?! Idk but you’re absolutely right.
Thank you for saying something about the loss his man is bearing for the rest of his life, everyday, every breath, each step, each bite of shit dinner without his best friend , soul mate and wife. Sick. And he needs real help. Therapy and a army of love that never leaves and doesn’t stop . Grief is hard , long, dirty, exhausting and painful.
This sounds like a problem, that if true, goes beyond her daughter's death. She's not thinking about her daughter or what SHE would want. Seems more like greed than grief.
I'm from the area. Well, Hilton Head. But not money. I'm from the working class. Old money. Political influence. Family name. All that stuff still has a small place in those towns. It's going away the older I get. By the time my kids are grown maybe it will be a little more even. As crooked as it is you can go there with a work truck, start from nothing, and become something. No matter what color or class you are as long as you try. So... not many places like that in this world as far as I know
I wonder if her parents told her she “did nothing wrong and has nothing to apologize for” because they had an idea the phone calls were recorded and could be used as evidence as an “admission of guilt.”
I’m glad the bars are being held accountable too. I have my TABC license (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission) you’re required to be licensed in Texas to serve alcohol which includes KNOWING WHEN SOMEONE HAS HAD TOO MUCH. Edit: Btw if the bartenders are licensed they can have a civil suit and criminal charges raised, however if the bartender isn’t licensed the bar is entirely responsible.
The amount of anger i feel for this brat- I cannot imagine what the victims and their families would've felt. So heartbreaking! Rest in peace samantha. May god give her loved ones the strength to deal with her loss.
This tragedy was 100% avoidable if Jamie had called a taxi. Did she realize she killed an innocent person and destroyed many people's lives? What a joke screaming 'Why me?' This person has no compassion and understanding.
Taxi, Uber, Lyft, Friend, or Parent… it’s 2023, there’s too many options for there to be any excuse. Jamie needs the jail keys flushed and lights shut off.
I remember my dad driving super drunk when I was a kid. With me, my mom and my brothers in the car and it was so normal for us at one point. Thank God nothing ever happened, I still can’t believe the risk he put us and other people through.
Gosh.. my dad too!! The near-misses we've had were so crazy, we stopped traveling with him if he was the driver. He's also proud like this girl, insisting he'll have to drive HIS car, being macho and all!! It's really really selfish IMO,
My mother was similar, getting plastered n getting my younger sisters to go with her. So fucking irresponsible but I was being a "puss" is I talked against it
The way she’s so sure she’s getting out, and her concern ONLY for herself about how “people will be mean to [her]” The fit she threw too, this is just someone who is extremely entitled and has had everything handed to her and doesn’t care about anyone else but herself. It’s unbelievable how much she DOESN’T care that she KILLED someone
It is not too unreasonable of her. Women get on average a 65% less harsh sentence and are 50% less likely to be prosecuted (AT ALL), than men for the same crime in the US. That is why she is already out, a man would lose at least 20 years of his life.
Her parents’ parenting is appalling for sure. But jamie’s lack of empathy and remorse also seems part of her character. It’s literally so terrifying that someone can have such a lack of remorse after taking someone else’s life. I hope she gets the lengthy sentence she deserves
Jamie is 25???? And throwing a tantrum about colored pencils? Why her?! This HAS to be the most selfish person in the whole world. WHAT?! No apology, no guilt, she just didn’t want to get into trouble…
Lessons from this case:
1. Don't drive while you're drunk.
2. Use a condom if you don't know how to raise a human baby decently.
and
3. if protection fail and you get preggers when you can't handle kiddos, abortion or adoption after birth
Selfish people raise selfish children
@@user-ml4ut6bv1ytbh I was very drunk a few occasions but I never got behind the wheel. This is Germany where kids are allowed to drink beer and wine at 16… but are able to drive without an adult at 18. Maybe that’s why… learned how to hold my liquor without being able to drive at all
Knowing how stupid I am drunk before driving
But I’m not sure. We have many drunk drivers here too. Often they’re suicidal men heading down a highway the wrong way…
The infuriating thing is that the people that need to hear this message are also the ones that are utterly incapable of grasping the idea. They will look at you with genuine confusion and say "B-b-but...we're trying to bail her out! That makes us GOOD parents! Of course we know how to raise a baby decently. We've protected her from all those ugly consequences that the mean, mean people in the world have tried to hold her to. That's the one and only goal of parenting, isn't it? Making sure your baby is always happy and always gets what she wants?"
Condom doesn’t help much. People who don’t want kids need long term procedures.
It's truly tragic to me that the bride's last wish was that the day last forever and, as far as we know, for her, it did.

So update: Jamie is under house arrest. They weren't able to get a trial before March 1st, 2024, so she's home. After "being granted bail with strict restrictions."
She gets to go home while Samantha's family or new husband will never have Samantha come home again.

That… god I want to say that’s something but clearly it’s not!
Is it wishing ill will on someone if I wonder how long it will take for the celebratory drink? I also hope you can't payoff the officer who will be checking for BAC.
Any more recent updates?
How there's still people on her instagram defending her actions absolutely baffles me. In times of Uber, taxis, calling friends or family to pick you up or sleepover, where all of these options exist 24/7, there is absolutely zero excuses for drunk driving. NONE.
EXACTLY! And it's not like she doesn't have money for taxi or doesn't have a phone
The problem is that we can see from her conversations that even when she's cold sober she still has no concern whatsoever for how her actions affect other people, even to the point of killing someone. Combine that with the fact that she expects her family to keep her from having to face any consequences, and we can see why she didn't see any need to control her actions. It wasn't that she thought it would be too much effort or would put a damper on her fun. For someone like her it's simply that the thought of her acting more responsibly never entered her mind. It would be kike the idea of her walking around a restaurant before leaving to make sure all of the chairs are pushed back under the tables. It's not something that would be difficult to do, but the thought that she ought to would not occur to her, and she'd just roll her eyes at you if you suggested that she should. It's the reason that people this self-centered can be just as dangerous as those that intentionally go out and try to hurt people. Even after the damage is done they don't even see the need to do anything to change their behavior.
I'm also of the firm belief that if you can't afford a taxi/uber home then you most definitely have no business being at a bar/club/pub. Heck even if you still just wanted to drink for the enjoyment buy some and have it at home, it would be much MUCH cheap and so much safer for everyone. Also before ever stepping into any bar/club/pub have a firm budget in mind, don't go spending what was set aside for transport on more drinks and if you've reached that level of reckless behavior it means it's time to go home.
@@101falconshe obviously can afford it or if her parents do baby her as it seems in the videos, they have more than enough money to pay for it.
@@101falconidk… I’m broke but still go out with my friends but I make damn sure I walk home before ever getting into a friends car or my car if we are all drinking. We all make sure there is a way to get home. Even us broke asses know how to be safe. So there really is no excuse.

I’m a recovering alcoholic who got behind the wheel and rear-ended someone else. Luckily we both walked away with minor cuts and bruises, and I was initially charged with a felony. NEVER did I EVER wonder “why me?” or wonder why THIS was happening TO ME. All I felt was guilt for traumatizing the person I rear-ended and others on the road, all I could think about was how easily I could have killed her and how horrifying it must have been for her family members to hear their loved one was in a crash. I got extremely lucky in my case, luckier than I deserved. When someone tried to comfort me telling me I made a mistake, my response was always, “No, I made a decision.”
I thank my lucky stars every day that no one got seriously hurt or worse.
No, Jamie. This isn’t happening to you. YOU are what happened. Learn some fucking empathy and accountability.
Facts.
Wishing you only the best with your continued recovery. ❤️
Wishing you the best! ❤
❤🙏🏽 hope all is well with you
wishing you a great path with recovery ❤
Due to the passing of a classmate a law was passed in my state where the penalty for drunk drivers can face up to 20 years in prison and 30 years for subsequent convictions. This law should be widespread.
What state?
@@jennier9122 Louisiana I'm sure
Driving while drunk is one of the most egoistical, selfish, and stupid things one can do. I hope she gets what she deserves
No. It's not selfish, egoistical, or stupid - it's *evil* - that's it.
@@lisasternenkind6467I mean yes, that’s a way to summarize exactly what I meant…
Nah drunk drivers piss me the fuck off so much. Imagine finding out a family member died over something so avoidable. Idiots.
True
And on top of that, her nonchalant entitlement and lack of remorse and accountability…
As a former bartender those bars should definitely be liable too. Her BAC was crazy high!! When you see someone getting sloshed you always ask how they are getting home. Yes, they can lie. Ive cut plenty of people off who get ao mad they want to fight. It doesnt matter. This is what happens when you over serve and over drink. Jamie is a disgusting person and needs to be finally held accountable for her actions.
A former bartender here too. We literally NEED to get licensed to even pour drinks, and the course specifically even says we need to count drinks on some patrons who display major intoxicated cues. We need to even take away car keys if necessary. I never had to do it, since I served at the hotel bistro, so most of the people that get drunk at our bar just go upstairs and pass out.
yup! previous bartender & server here! i’ve also hosted and still had to intervene i always called a cab even if they had a car there with them if no one was sober enough to drive (literally like had more than one drink and not a shot a DRINK) then i’d call a cab & the manager would let them leave their car overnight and come back for it the next day (usually the owner/manager of places are what call tow trucks for cars overnight so you have to get their approval)
I was both a retail cashier and a gas station clerk who has denied alcohol sales to people who show signs of intoxication, slurring, balance, and breath. 50/50 on the understanding vs the crazed. We have even called the police on people who clearly drove to the gas station drunk. One of us would pretend to run the trash out and get the plate number after verifying the drunk is in the driver seat.
I thought so too! I only know this from Mikemgtv, but aren't bars also liable if they keep serving someone who is clearly drunk?
That's what I was thinking. She must be a pretty experienced drinker to even be forming sentences or standing with a BAC that high. At that point its not the bartenders fault sometimes its hard to tell when someone is blacked out if they are alcoholics. That BAC is scary even to me and I drink quite a bit unfortunately. @@rachelforshee6014
Quick case update: The husband recieved a settlement from 2 bars Jamie was drinking at. Also, she has been indicted for 1 count of reckless vehicular homicide and 3 counts of driving under the influence causing death or great bodily injury. Each with up to 25 years in prison.

I won’t compare Jamie to a child… She is just plain selfish and her parents enabled her.
My condolences to the victim’s families
agreed, I've seen three year olds with more empathy and sense of responsibility than her.
Drunk driving is so senseless.
Shes a narcisist
Was thinking in my head that she was a demon child, but you're right. That would be offensive to children.
It looks like she never took accountability on anything she had done in her life and I bet it's due to her enabling parents. I don't only blame Jamie but her parents also, her parents saying that she did nothing wrong it was an accident like are you for real she was drinking and driving under the influence no one put a gun to her head and told her to drink and drive she choose to do these things. The fact that she had four traffic violations and prior the the accident she had gotten in trouble for not signaling when turning she defiantly need to face the consequences of her action.
It’s scary to me how people often say things before death that kind of predicted their destiny. “ I want this day to last forever” gave me chills.
She is such a whiny brat. She's like a child throwing a tantrum because their ice cream fell on the floor. The fact that her parents are babying her and enabling this reaction is beyond me. You chose to drink and drive. "Why me?" Because you made a really stupid decision. You didn't know your limitations. You didn't even care. You didn't care about your safety or anyone else's. Even after she got out of her drunken stupor and realized she killed a person and injured 3 others....no remorse. She is a selfish mean brat who can't take accountability. Can't even show respect to the victim's family. Instead she thinks the world is out to get her. No you made a stupid mistake. This is what happens when you make dumb decisions like drinking and driving. She should have known better. You drink. You don't drive. Period. You call an uber or your parents or your bf you were begging for. So self centered. No remorse is what really makes my blood boil. I feel so bad for Sam and her family. The best night instantly becomes the worse. Heartbreaking
i couldn't agree more with your comment!! she deserves to rot in hell.
She acts like a toddler and never learned frustration tolerance, which is key for growing mature. Children usually start learning frustration tolerance during their toddler years and with about 8 - 9 years, they have usually completed learning this if raised in a healthy manner. She seems to be totally stuck in the age of a 3 - 5 year old, while having the opportunity to do things like a mature adult. Her parents are feeding her this delusional mindset. While some people may perceive the parents' role here as overly loving and caring for their daughter, it must be understood completely different in my opinion: the parents totally failed raising her to be a critical, self reflecting, contious, mature adult. By telling her "bad things happen to good people" they are also soothing themselves and expressing their own innocence although their education on ethics and their methods of raising their daughter practically caused her to stay psychologically in this delusional and self-centered state that only applies to a toddler by nature.
I have a bunch of sons, meanwhile all adults, so I know what trouble some kids may sometimes cause while growing up. It's the duty of the parents to teach the kids to gain insight in their wrongdoings and to teach them how to then solve the matter in a self-responsible way.
Concerning alcohol... She seems to be what is called a "functioning alcoholic". She also was bar hopping and not binge drinking at only one bar. So she probably wasn't even perceived as drunk upon arrival and only had two or three drinks at every bar she visited. Bartenders and other staff only see and acknowledge the guests before the last drink they order. So if she didn't stumble around and could talk straight, which is always hard to check on in noisy environments like some bars are, then the staff wouldn't even have noticed her as being drunk. She probably either paid with cash and left a good tip or she paid with credit card, so the staff also couldn't have noticed her struggle with numbers, like maybe a shop owner would have.
I don't really see the bars and their staff as being responsible for her evil actions. She decided to drink and drive beforehand. She could have gotten a taxi on her way to the bars and on her way home. She knew she was going to a bar to drink, so why take the car along? I always plan my transport when going out beforehand, and I have done so since I got my license. I also often was the driver for my friends and therefore was the one to stay sober and drive. If nobody wanted to drive, we had other means of transport. So there are many ways to not drink and drive. And if drinking and driving were a major part of being an alcoholic, then many more people would drive drunken and many more accidents would happen. No, you don't have to be a reckless drunken driver just because you are addicted to alcohol!!!
As she has no insight in her bad choices and actions that resulted in her being a missile of pure evil that night, she shouldn't be allowed to go free soon and also she should be forced by all legal means to not consume drugs. In addition, her drivers license must be taken away. She in fact is a risk to her environment. And as long as she does not recognize that, she will keep on being a missile ready for take-off. In detention center she only had her screaming fits, but they are only substitutes. Outside of detention center or environment with limited access, she will probably drink, do drugs, and drive in addition to screaming fits.
I also have this gut feeling that mom may have a drinking problem as well and her killing that firefighter on the street may also have happened with intoxication.
I don't think it's hard to get control over the blood results of a lab if you can also have a sheriff doing you favors. I don't know of course, but something doesn't seem right. The firefighter's family may have more information on this. Anyhow, mom was her roll model, that we also shouldn't forget. Mom got away with 100,000 $ for taking one life. They probably used this figure for calculating the costs for their daughter's killing and injuring people. Probably dad tries to get things settled with about 200k to 250,000 $ for his daughter now. He does seem like he has this going on in his mind. Also him stopping her from talking more about the sheriff's help, literally showed that he is involved behind the scenes. I don't think that's legal, so this must be looked into as well.
I the old days in Germanic culture one would have to compensate the loss of the family. In this case, it would mean that they would literally have to hand over all their belongings and themselves to the bride's family and the killer daughter would be marked and sent off in the woods, excluded for life from all society.
The bride was the only daughter to her parents and didn't have children yet to pass on their blood to the next generation. The husband has been taken the chance to live his life with his beloved wife, and also did not have children with her to establish future generations. Life was a very precious good to our ancestors and only since the industrial revolution has materialistic stuff become more important than life itself. This is wrong because it opposes nature. This beautiful couple was killed, both of them. The husband can't even think back to his happiest day in life because it also was the day of his wife's murder. A wonderful family had been killed by this evil, self-centered and artificial person, who does not even value life after she has *destroyed* so many lives and killed a wonderful human being.
I would like to see in detail how this case evolves and how things go from now on.
Thank you again for the good coverage of a crime, although I found it this time a little distracting when you talked in detail about this bride and the perfect shot with the golf cart in the beginning. At first I thought this video was about her and only understood when the accident happened, that this was yet another bride. 😮
Thank you for your efforts and time. 🙏🏻
Cheers from Germany 🇩🇪 🍻

Fr
She didn’t even seem worried about her cat’s wellbeing, she seemed more mad and bratty about it possibly being given to her grandma
I'm sorry? You shouldn't have the right to reject a sobriety test if you've KILLED someone at the scene of an accident.... That is insane to me
That's why they got a court order and did the test
Yeah, it’s a bit misleading, as you can refuse, but in cases like this….they are going to get the court order immediately to get the blood work.
I believe it's related to the right against illegal search and seizure. It's protected some innocent people from being charged for drunk driving, such as if people get pulled over for a broken tail light and they had just used mouthwash. There are a number of things that can cause a false-positive during a breath test, so a blood test is more reliable. It's also hard to give a breath test to someone who refuses to give one.
But I bet it didn't take very long to get the warrant to get the blood test.
In mY case he did. And they had to get a warrent. 5 hours later he showed alchol at o.6 meaning he was 11 at the time he crashed into my son killing him.
Police don't need a sobriety test to detain someone for DWI. The sobriety test can show to what degree someone is intoxicated but refusing the test doesn't mean they go free. You can't force someone to blow into it, you need their cooperation. If the person won't do it right, the test won't work. And they can't analyze blood in the car.
Just saw a news article that the brides mom is now suing the husband for the financial compensation he received from the bars, claiming the marriage wasn’t valid because it was not consummated. Which is wild to me. And such an offense to the husband. A claim that the love of his life was not his wife. And now that’s gonna be remembered as part of her case instead of the needless death. Rip Samantha 🕊️
I am sad for the mother's lost, but she had a go fund me and the mother didn't pay for the funeral. fame and $$ went in her head. Milking someone's death is sick
Traumatized people can easily become very toxic.
Consummation is such a stupid concept for a marriage to be vaild
She's basically saying their marriage wasn't real because the wife was tragically killed before they actually had their wedding night which is basically trying to punish HIM and invalidate the last action and decision of her own daughter (getting married to the man) at no fault of his own. I don't understand how she can be so callous.
Wait, the groom's MIL, the mother of the bride, is suing HIM after her daughter was killed by a drunk woman? What, did she want them to immediately start ripping off clothes and consumate on the podium floor just in case a drunk woman kills them all on the way home? Shouldn't she be suing the drunk woman for preventing that?
I feel terrible for the husband, but I also can't help but be relieved that he won't have to deal with that level of crazy (much) when this is all over with.
This case hit harder for me due to the fact that my boyfriend (21 y/o) was killed by a reckless driver just over a month ago. Of course the kid that hit him is claiming he was scared for his life because my boyfriend and his friends were riding motorcycles. How does that defense even make sense? I don’t know, but the victim complex reaches far. The sheer audacity to kill another person and then make it about yourself is so disgusting. I’m so disturbed by the driver that killed my boyfriend and I hope we get justice in the upcoming trial.
I hope your boyfriend also gets justice. May he rest in peace, and my condolences to you for losing your loved one
God bless you, my condolences, I have a spot for for people who are remorseful and want to do better, but people like Jamie and the young man who took your boyfriend's life should rot in jail. No remorse at all.
@@LongLostInideQueen you know nothing about him other than he was "wreckless" (gonna trust someone who spells like that?) motorcycles are notoriously dangerous. she didn't say he was under the influence, so why exactly should he rot in jail? like, car accidents happen... and sometimes people die. especially if they're on motorcycles. there isn't someone rotting in jail for every car accident death. also, you have no idea whether he feels remorse, its not her place to make that call and definitely not your place. you know nothing. why is the world filled with people who react emotionally and not logically?
car accidents happen and motorcycles are dangerous. i'm sorry for your loss but people don't go to jail for every vehicle death. also its spelled reckless. you don't even say what he did, just that he was "wreck less"
@@barbrothers2 good point, glanced back over the message and assumed he was under the influence. The main point of my comment was though, that he gave a bullshit reason that was false to protect himself after taking some one’s life in a way that could have been prevented….remorseless people are not fit for society when at a point where they can’t be rehabilitated.
Saying “Why me?” is just an awful thing to when you just murder some!
I can’t imagine being the family of the victim. This is so sad…
For real 😔💔 to victim's family
Its awful because she feels no guilt or remorse. Shes only caring about herself. And its natural to start hating for the acting of hers - its shows how helpless we are against actions that egomaniacs like her cause.
And that is why we need a justice system...
I think cars should require a breath test to work for everyone and it gets saved in the black box. Addiction isn't all that rational and society just needs a better solution to this than just punishment.
I saw a man kill a family driving a trunk drunk. Apparently his third time drunk driving, but he didn't even have a license anymore.
If all vehicles couldn't start without a clear breathalyzer I think this would help.
I am not defending Jamie. I think her accountability is despicable. I do agree golf carts should share roads with cars driving above 10 km an hour with speed bumps. road and city design is i
portant assuming that "prison sentences" never solved drunk driving.
Exactly, she's literally only caring about herself
Poor Eric. Having a perfect start to a new life horrifically cut short by a drunk narcissist, then to have his brand new MIL discount the day as nothing...to negate the joyful wedding because "the marriage wasn't registered and she didn't change her name".
Eric has lost everything
WHAT
And Samantha’s mother is suing him for Samantha’s life insurance and the money he got from the two bars that settled with.
Samantha’s mother sounds about as disgusting as the drunk good for nothing that killed her. That’s so very sad sound like the mother didn’t care for Eric much. If she did she wouldn’t act like that
@@sarahteagarden9409so basically she's disrespecting the life of her own daughter and her daughters husband. Some people just suck.
Eric got a settlement most likely bcuz he was so injured plus he lost his wife. I'm sure the brother and nephew could sue as well bcuz of injuries and trauma. Why would he mother think that's hers? She sounds horrible!!!!
I hold it with alcohol and driving the same way my mom does:
Even with just a sip of alcohol in the system, we do not get behind the wheel.
With just a sip you are still very much in the legal limit, but if anything happens, we would question if it would have happened sober too.
it’s just never worth it

I'm glad too, but the mother is a special cookie herself. She is now claiming that the couple weren't legally married because they didn't get to spend their wedding night together. She is trying to claim Samantha's estate. The husband has offered to split the money 50/50 with her to just drop the claim, but she's still refusing.
@@purgal5250it must be a very complicated situation to be in. I know that there’s a period of time where the marriage can be annulled. I wonder if death during a wedding night would fit that situation..
@@lilyxo6914 The only real time an annulment is allowed after death is if there is something about the marriage that makes it invalid.

@@purgal5250 Interesting point, i didn’t know that. The whole thing sounds like a nightmare!
My daughter went to college with this trash. She knew of her bc they were in the same sorority, but she didn’t really know her.

What are the other stories?
@@Patricia-hx4dhi second this
I hope your daughter publicly says something about her character so the courts will know just how awful she is.
@@Patricia-hx4dh well one sticks in my mind the most. she was leaving a local bar one night. This bar was close to campus and as she was leaving she was hitting parked cars on the way out. And did not even care, or maybe she didn’t even notice idk. And before anyone comes at me saying my daughter should have done something, she was not there. They did not hang out. However it spread through the sorority as you can imagine it would. And I believe she either quit or was kicked out after a short time. I cant remember which. Her words were she was always doing crazy stuff. I can ask her again for more details. Bc she was telling me about her literally the day the story broke and that particular one was the only one that stuck. I was so heartbroken for Sam and her husband I didn’t retain any other details. I will ask her though. Bc I’m surprised they haven’t come out yet. Or maybe they have and they are using it for court idk. I had posted on another you tuber covering this and someone else confirmed she was batshit crazy. Very entitled. I’m really shocked it took this long for something to happen like this. Anyway I’ll ask her again and follow up with other incidents.
@@gahyeonlvr7501 she only knew of her bc of the sorority. I’m sure many have that actually hung out with her. At least I hope they have. This isn’t a one off and I agree it should be known that she has been careless for a long time.
Unfortunately, out of every restaurant I've served at over the last decade+, I've only ever seen ONE person cut off. Hell, they even overserved employees after their shifts. It's awful and something needs to be done to further enforce these requirements for restaurants and bars. They dont care about anything but the money. They just think it wont happen to them and they continue to overserve.
I'M ESPECIALLY LOOKING AT YOU, Teak Neighborhood Grill in Maitland FL
100% I have seen this. I've been out with my mom and her boyfriend and he was driving but kept having shots, even after I told the server he was driving and not to bring anymore shots, she still did. I was furious.
The audacity of her saying golf carts shouldn’t be allowed on the road. Well, also drunk people shouldn’t be allowed to drive. And yet.
Such a horrible and chilling tragedy, this is heartbreaking.
True.
In SC gulf carts are allowed on roads with less than 35mph and an adult driving during the day.
Actually down in here in NC and SC I’m pretty sure, golf carts, dirt bikes and ATVs can be and are street legal! Know what’s not still? Drunk driving 😂
I agree that they should at least have seat belts to be allowed on the road, but that doesn't make drunk driving any right
Obviously she's on the wrong, but golf carts really should't drive on the road, it is very dangerous and stupid. Like bicycles and others
There’s a saying in Swahili that goes “Asiye funzwa na mamaye hufunzwa na ulimwengu” directly translates to if you’re not taught by your mom, the world will teach you a lesson.
This was a heartbreaking case, I hope the family can learn to cope with this tragedy and may Samantha’s beautiful soul rest in peace.
That's beautiful
Love that!

Especially because she won’t actually receive any of the intensive treatment she needs in prison. And she would need years and years of intensive treatment imo.

@@sakurakou2009i think its possible, but the first and most important step is realising theres something wrong in the first place, that theres even something to be fixed, which a lot of narciccists inherently dont have
The bride’s mother is a monster. She is trying to deny the husband’s right to the brides estate and refers to her by her maiden name bc the marriage certificate wasn’t filed yet. I think he settled with her to split the bride’s assets- even though they had already lived together and had intertwined finances. Greedy mother in law
The thing that sickens me the most, is that they advocate for her to not to apologize to them, because it's an admission of guilt, and that hurts the court case, and negates the money they've spent on their expensive attorney. They aren't even parents that save the day. They're just parents that pay expensive janitors.
"Janitors" is a great way to describe lawyers like this. Absolutely tragic.
They're barely parents it's not like they raised her, she popped out & they handed her a credit card, told her she was special, and here we are.
"Affluenza" is not a new defense.
@@cleanserene6330She sounds about 15 years old. It's sad for her that she's been babied her whole life and not taught about responsibility. I agree that it's terrifying to think that she could wind up back out on the road not having changed her ways.
Apologizing for all of this would only help her.
The fact that she had to place blame on the golf cart and therefore blaming the couple shows how her parents brought her up. She grew up believing everyone should adjust for her. Disgusting human being.
she seems just like my damn sister in law
She went to college there and never moved back to NJ so she knew that area well and that they use golf carts aka low speed vehicles
The fact that her alcohol levels test still came out 3x higher than the legal limit HOURS AFTER the accident, considering they still need to wait for the warrant, etc., says a lot. The entitlement also obviously came from her parents babying her so much. All the whining, like she did not decide to get shitfaced drunk, went behind the wheel and DROVE.
It maybe went down. They do the math. From the hours past.
The drunk driver thst killed my son. Denied it they had to get a warrent. 5 hours later it was 0.6.
With tbe math done at the time of the tradigy he was at 1.1. Over the limit and not well to drive.
The man died 10 days later.
I am glad I don't have to see my sons killer in court.

I have such a hatred for drunk drivers since one killed the old lady neighbor that I loved like a mother. This just makes me feel ill, I can’t help but feel the tears coming at the lack of awareness of this piece of trash.
I'm struggling with alcoholism. I do have a driver's license but no car because I'm too scared I might ever do something horrible when in a drunk stupor. I usually lock myself up in my apartment when I'm having a rough night. Keeps me (and most importantly everyone else) safe.

@@deeshizzlemanizzle483 what?
If you're an alcoholic just sell your car. It's what I did. I've never drunk driven but I thought about it. And the day I thought about it - sold the car within the same week. Destroying my life is one thing but putting others in danger, no way. Even after I quit drinking, sober for 3 years, I didn't buy a new one, just in case.
ironically it was a rental
You can get alcohol locks fitted maybe? It will prevent the car from starting if the breath test detects alcohol.
Great insight and very responsible. I often thought the something similar, that after a second DUI or a first DUI with an injury, people should only be allowed to drive a motorcycle.
I have a friend who has been through some things. They did he same when they went into rehab, but now they are sober, they have a device that they have to blow into before the car starts. They don't drink+drive, but if they ever get behind the wheel with ANY amount of alcohol on their breath, the car won't start regardless of the amount of alcohol: legal limit or not.
This isn’t always possible depending on where you live. I live in Memphis. Yes there is a bus service- it does not run on Sunday and the schedule is more of a loose set of guidelines- using ride share is like 20-40$ both ways.
Wow. As of March 2024 she was released to go home and is now awaiting trial. What a joke!!!

She nearly killed three other people. How can you not feel any remorse? It's insane how people can act like this after committing an atrocity.
i can’t imagine the level of horror you feel learning your loved one was found dead in her wedding dress. just unthinkable.
This case makes me so mad! She has taken NO accountability for her actions. How dare she think that she should walk away unpunished. Post updates please.

THANK YOU SO MUCH STEPHANIE for stating that alcoholism does not equate to drunk driving. It actually has nothing to do with it. Omg I could go on and on but it will drive me crazy! Just.. thank you cuz that is real. ❤
I wonder if Jamie’s parents actually realize how much they failed her growing up, and with them enabling her bad behavior in adulthood, I’m not surprised that she probably hasn’t even thought about the fact that someone is actually DEAD because of her. This whole thing is just horrible.
Nope. They are narcisists and enablers. It's narcisism breading narcism. Doubtful anything will change their thought process and views. They likely have family and friends that also coddle them.
Yeah, she is practically still a loveable, sweet, adorable baby girl whose parents effed up, not her. Just eff it and let her go free then.
@@Hunk666What?
They're stating that her parents had a direct impact on who Jamie turned into; spoiled, reckless and lacking empathy. They aren't saying Jamie isn't to blame, they're stating it's clear where her parents went wrong.
Jamie is the one who killed a woman, but her parents are the ones coddling her and telling her it's OK.
I’m offended too. I am in recovery and have been for years. I was in an addiction and I never hurt anyone but myself. The issue here is not alcohol, it’s her complete lack of self awareness and care for others and it shows in the jail calls
i agree. i'm also a recovering addict and while i wasn't the greatest person in active addiction and hurt people close to me emotionally in this time through lying about my addiction etc. i never was a danger to others safety. even at my lowest points i'd never ever would have done something even close to what she had done and stuff that could hurt others was always a hard no to me.
this isn't about addiction, this is about being an entitled, selfish, unempathetic, terrible person who was enabled by her parents and privilege. the addiction is just the cherry on the top, i seriously believe that she would've also been a dangerous person if she always would've been sober.
@@technobrain666idd, and imagine even IF anyone makes such a mistake or crime whiles drunk, the remorse, shame and guilt after would be all consuming of your thoughts. Not the darn cat or "why me" crap whiles they toulk someones life. Its insane 😮🤮
i heard about this case from others but there wasn't a lot of detail about it. people need to stop coddling their children because they never learn not to invade other people's boundaries, they never learn to respect other people's "no," and they never learn the concept of "consequences." like if my kid were a bully, i would be absolutely heartbroken. i can't imagine continuously babying someone after they've wronged so many people. drunk drivers have no regard for life and this girl caring about her own welfare vs the fact that she murdered someone-absolutely abhorrent behavior.
For some parents it's just easier to give the kid whatever they want then to actually teach them to be a good person. Some even view kids as an extension of themselves and can therefore do no wrong.
I’m currently dealing with my nine-year-old bullying his little brother and I heard he was being mean to someone at school and the last thing I would do is ignore that behavior. He and his brothers are going to be put in counseling next week because yes they know they can come to me with anything but sometimes it takes an outside source or counseling or therapy to help them with the emotions that they have and to not take them out on others and act a fool. As a parent, I can’t imagine just letting my kids become horrible adults like if I don’t do something about it now they turn into terrors.
@@LoreleiCatherine be careful with the choice of your counselor. You might end up two sessions later with your boys claiming to be born in the wrong body. 😢
@ville2_You are an evil person!
She acts like a toddler and never learned frustration tolerance, which is key for growing mature. Children usually start learning frustration tolerance during their toddler years and with about 8 - 9 years, they have usually completed learning this if raised in a healthy manner. She seems to be totally stuck in the age of a 3 - 5 year old, while having the opportunity to do things like a mature adult. Her parents are feeding her this delusional mindset. While some people may perceive the parents' role here as overly loving and caring for their daughter, it must be understood completely different in my opinion: the parents totally failed raising her to be a critical, self reflecting, contious, mature adult. By telling her "bad things happen to good people" they are also soothing themselves and expressing their own innocence although their education on ethics and their methods of raising their daughter practically caused her to stay psychologically in this delusional and self-centered state that only applies to a toddler by nature.
I have a bunch of sons, meanwhile all adults, so I know what trouble some kids may sometimes cause while growing up. It's the duty of the parents to teach the kids to gain insight in their wrongdoings and to teach them how to then solve the matter in a self-responsible way.
Concerning alcohol... She seems to be what is called a "functioning alcoholic". She also was bar hopping and not binge drinking at only one bar. So she probably wasn't even perceived as drunk upon arrival and only had two or three drinks at every bar she visited. Bartenders and other staff only see and acknowledge the guests before the last drink they order. So if she didn't stumble around and could talk straight, which is always hard to check on in noisy environments like some bars are, then the staff wouldn't even have noticed her as being drunk. She probably either paid with cash and left a good tip or she paid with credit card, so the staff also couldn't have noticed her struggle with numbers, like maybe a shop owner would have.
I don't really see the bars and their staff as being responsible for her evil actions. She decided to drink and drive beforehand. She could have gotten a taxi on her way to the bars and on her way home. She knew she was going to a bar to drink, so why take the car along? I always plan my transport when going out beforehand, and I have done so since I got my license. I also often was the driver for my friends and therefore was the one to stay sober and drive. If nobody wanted to drive, we had other means of transport. So there are many ways to not drink and drive. And if drinking and driving were a major part of being an alcoholic, then many more people would drive drunken and many more accidents would happen. No, you don't have to be a reckless drunken driver just because you are addicted to alcohol!!!
As she has no insight in her bad choices and actions that resulted in her being a missile of pure evil that night, she shouldn't be allowed to go free soon and also she should be forced by all legal means to not consume drugs. In addition, her drivers license must be taken away. She in fact is a risk to her environment. And as long as she does not recognize that, she will keep on being a missile ready for take-off. In detention center she only had her screaming fits, but they are only substitutes. Outside of detention center or environment with limited access, she will probably drink, do drugs, and drive in addition to screaming fits.
I also have this gut feeling that mom may have a drinking problem as well and her killing that firefighter on the street may also have happened with intoxication.
I don't think it's hard to get control over the blood results of a lab if you can also have a sheriff doing you favors. I don't know of course, but something doesn't seem right. The firefighter's family may have more information on this. Anyhow, mom was her roll model, that we also shouldn't forget. Mom got away with 100,000 $ for taking one life. They probably used this figure for calculating the costs for their daughter's killing and injuring people. Probably dad tries to get things settled with about 200k to 250,000 $ for his daughter now. He does seem like he has this going on in his mind. Also him stopping her from talking more about the sheriff's help, literally showed that he is involved behind the scenes. I don't think that's legal, so this must be looked into as well.
I the old days in Germanic culture one would have to compensate the loss of the family. In this case, it would mean that they would literally have to hand over all their belongings and themselves to the bride's family and the killer daughter would be marked and sent off in the woods, excluded for life from all society.
The bride was the only daughter to her parents and didn't have children yet to pass on their blood to the next generation. The husband has been taken the chance to live his life with his beloved wife, and also did not have children with her to establish future generations. Life was a very precious good to our ancestors and only since the industrial revolution has materialistic stuff become more important than life itself. This is wrong because it opposes nature. This beautiful couple was killed, both of them. The husband can't even think back to his happiest day in life because it also was the day of his wife's murder. A wonderful family had been killed by this evil, self-centered and artificial person, who does not even value life after she has *destroyed* so many lives and killed a wonderful human being.
I would like to see in detail how this case evolves and how things go from now on.
Thank you again for the good coverage of a crime, although I found it this time a little distracting when you talked in detail about this bride and the perfect shot with the golf cart in the beginning. At first I thought this video was about her and only understood when the accident happened, that this was yet another bride. 😮
Thank you for your efforts and time. 🙏🏻

i can't imagine how hard it is to get a wheelchair onto a beach. getting a man in a wheelchair onto the beach, where he was just married, to grieve his wife in her favorite place on earth.........sounds deeply painful. the sight of the vigil is absolutely devastating, knowing all those mourners were just recently there to celebrate.
the cat in samantha's arms........now that's what the love of an animal looks like. even her cat loved her deeply. i hope jamie never gets to see her own damn cat again.
it’s very difficult to get a wheelchair on a beach definitely and especially if the person in the wheelchair is heavily injured too
The wheelchair you see there is a special kind specifically designed to take people onto beaches. It has wide rubber tires to spread out the weight so it doesn't get rutted in. Some beaches will allow those who need wheelchairs to borrow them for free.
they have those wheel chairs in Daytona Beach too

Stephanie, you are so good at explaining phrases and words some people might not know. I also agree that it's good to experience consequences and even a little shame when very young to learn to AVOID stupid choices.
She made a poor choice, but her behavior afterwards, even after she sobered up...her words make her such an abhorrent character. Her parents spoiled her rotten. She's rotten. Clearly.

this reminds me of a 24yr old woman who killed my friend's friend who was riding his bike home from work. she left him for dead on the side of the road and tried to hide from the cops. she eventually was caught and only got 2 years in prison. her dad posted on his facebook something along the lines of "thank you all for the support as something really bad happened to our family" she's already out after 1yr and partying with her dad. it's so infuriating

Terrible story on top of an already horrible story. 😢😥
@@eveangel8967 There's actually 1 true reason and 1 other theory, so the true reason is that typically some prisons hand pick people with crimes not as bad as the others to get very and I mean very short sentences. Typically, they do this so open up more room in a prison, aka saving money. Now the conspiracy part of this is that some people think that if let's say a police station has a really bad reputation, they'll give some prisoners shorter sentences so they can re-offend. The catch is it's believed that they are closely monitored so they can arrest them easily and gain a higher reputation. Obviously, just a theory but extremely believable.

Throughout this video, I was very irritated by the whole child-like behavior she had, but I got TRULY MAD at 35:55, when she says that "golf carts shouldn't be allowed in the freaking road". Like, bffr???? YOU. WERE. DRUNK. DRIVING!!!!
As someone who works in bars, it is indeed the law that bars are held liable if someone is clearly way too wasted and they continue to serve them just so they can make the money. If something is to happen it is something they can legally be sued for. She was visibly drunk. They knew they shouldn’t have served her anymore and they did it anyway.
I wondered why the bar kept serving her. Hopefully this was checked out. 😢😢
Sure but let’s also not give her and other drunk drivers an excuse especially legally and morally to not take blame for their choices, that they made.
Not to defend her or anything but when I think about it, she did hop between barsto drink one or two then move on to an other bar and do the same-
To me, it sounded more like she knew she will get away with over drinking by doing this and it adds more to how awful and scary she is-
Well she was bar hopping they said, I wouldn’t blame the bars. She’s the only one responsible and maybe even her parents
I, too, find the addiction angle offensive. Also, 4-6 _weeks_ in rehab? I overdosed and went for 4 months. My ex stole out of a few cars and had to go for a _year_ .

This includes trying to essentially erase his existence from her, trying to remove his last name from Samantha, trying to take their money, trying to suggest he's out for money when he hasn't done anything that she has (including trying to take all of her daughter's money), putting out awful suggestions about him, trying to make him out as though he's not a victim, making him out to be a terrible person for giving a single interview - far after others went on a long media tour and implied he wasn't actually important in this story, and so much more.
There is so much more trauma and disgusting behavior involved this. I feel absolutely horrible for everyone involved, but especially her widowed husband. I hope in time, he will feel seen and is getting all the support for the immense life long trauma and physical damage he will have to cope with.
I absolutely agree with you. I didn’t know all of what you stated. But I seen her saying about her daughter in an interview, her last name is Miller. Do not address her as anything but Miller. And she was straight shitty. And I understand she lost a daughter, I could not imagine, however if she would just stop and think what her daughter would want. She goes on to say that it was a little spat between the 2 of them prior to the wedding. And she wasn’t happy her daughter took his name. But Sam compromised and said she’d hyphen her name and also any of their kids name. It rubbed me wrong. But I guess I couldn’t say how I would be if it happened to me. I didn’t know she was doing all those other things. It’s like she needs someone to blame and is blaming the wrong person?! Idk but you’re absolutely right.
Wow what?! Poor poor Eric smh
Thank you for saying something about the loss his man is bearing for the rest of his life, everyday, every breath, each step, each bite of shit dinner without his best friend , soul mate and wife. Sick. And he needs real help. Therapy and a army of love that never leaves and doesn’t stop . Grief is hard , long, dirty, exhausting and painful.
what ? I didn't know that, but I don't live in the USA. That is really disgusting !
This sounds like a problem, that if true, goes beyond her daughter's death. She's not thinking about her daughter or what SHE would want.
Seems more like greed than grief.
Last I checked, she has been freed from prison and on house arrest. How is that possible? 🤦🏾♀️
What the hell
Tf America is a joke
$$$
WHAAAAATTT ??
I'm from the area. Well, Hilton Head. But not money. I'm from the working class. Old money. Political influence. Family name. All that stuff still has a small place in those towns. It's going away the older I get. By the time my kids are grown maybe it will be a little more even. As crooked as it is you can go there with a work truck, start from nothing, and become something. No matter what color or class you are as long as you try. So... not many places like that in this world as far as I know
I wonder if her parents told her she “did nothing wrong and has nothing to apologize for” because they had an idea the phone calls were recorded and could be used as evidence as an “admission of guilt.”
yup.
No...they're just awful parents who raised an unremorseful monster.
I was thinking the same thing
Yes!! She spoke too much, she was her own demise
Wait, holy shit. The mom of Samantha Miller is claiming that the marriage is invalid because they never spent their first night together....
So wrong!!!!
Her parents is the reason why she doesn’t believe in consequences.
I’m glad the bars are being held accountable too. I have my TABC license (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission) you’re required to be licensed in Texas to serve alcohol which includes KNOWING WHEN SOMEONE HAS HAD TOO MUCH.
Edit: Btw if the bartenders are licensed they can have a civil suit and criminal charges raised, however if the bartender isn’t licensed the bar is entirely responsible.
The amount of anger i feel for this brat- I cannot imagine what the victims and their families would've felt. So heartbreaking! Rest in peace samantha. May god give her loved ones the strength to deal with her loss.
This tragedy was 100% avoidable if Jamie had called a taxi. Did she realize she killed an innocent person and destroyed many people's lives? What a joke screaming 'Why me?' This person has no compassion and understanding.
Taxi, Uber, Lyft, Friend, or Parent… it’s 2023, there’s too many options for there to be any excuse. Jamie needs the jail keys flushed and lights shut off.
@@Flauhoodiei agree completely!!
"I'm going to be here for years and years and years."
Poor baby. 🙄 You know who would have loved those years?
no, she doesn’t realize it
I remember my dad driving super drunk when I was a kid. With me, my mom and my brothers in the car and it was so normal for us at one point. Thank God nothing ever happened, I still can’t believe the risk he put us and other people through.
Gosh.. my dad too!! The near-misses we've had were so crazy, we stopped traveling with him if he was the driver. He's also proud like this girl, insisting he'll have to drive HIS car, being macho and all!!
It's really really selfish IMO,
My mom did that too! Thank God we all survived!!
Same here, especially when really mad
Yikes…My dad did that once too 🥴
My mother was similar, getting plastered n getting my younger sisters to go with her. So fucking irresponsible but I was being a "puss" is I talked against it
This story made me cry. I never met Samantha but hearing her story makes me tear up. Kind hearted people like her are rare in this day and age :(
“You don’t need to tell me ever that you’re sorry” Yeah, you’re right sir, she needs to tell the VICTIM’S FAMILY THAT SHE’S SORRY! Not you!
The way she’s so sure she’s getting out, and her concern ONLY for herself about how “people will be mean to [her]”
The fit she threw too, this is just someone who is extremely entitled and has had everything handed to her and doesn’t care about anyone else but herself.
It’s unbelievable how much she DOESN’T care that she KILLED someone
It is not too unreasonable of her. Women get on average a 65% less harsh sentence and are 50% less likely to be prosecuted (AT ALL), than men for the same crime in the US. That is why she is already out, a man would lose at least 20 years of his life.
Her parents’ parenting is appalling for sure. But jamie’s lack of empathy and remorse also seems part of her character. It’s literally so terrifying that someone can have such a lack of remorse after taking someone else’s life. I hope she gets the lengthy sentence she deserves
Jamie is 25???? And throwing a tantrum about colored pencils? Why her?! This HAS to be the most selfish person in the whole world. WHAT?! No apology, no guilt, she just didn’t want to get into trouble…
