The woman who has been accused of drunkenly mowing down a newlywed bride (Samantha Hutchinson) and her husband on their wedding night, is now getting special treatment in jail, along with whining about not getting an exercise mat.
Jamie Lee Komoroski (25) has been allowed to have in-person visits from her family after a helping hand was leant from Sheriff Kristin Graziano.
The policy at South Carolina’s Charleston County jail is that inmates are only allowed online video chats.
Sheriff Graziano even met with Komoroski, the suspect telling her boyfriend in a call from jail that “the head person of Charleston County” believed she should be home with her family.
“She’s really nice, and I think she’s gonna help me. Things are looking up."
Other jailhouse recordings have showed she clearly doesn't think her accommodations are all that great.
She has been complaining about everything from the food, to not being able to hold the TV remote, and not getting an exercise mat to do crunches.
It has been confirmed that Graziano got involved in the jail’s treatment of Komoroski after her “family reached out to the agency soon after her arrival” where she is being held on three counts of felony driving under the influence and one count of reckless vehicular homicide.
She has been accused of driving drunk, more than three times the legal blood-alcohol limit, when she struck a golf cart consisting of newlyweds Samantha Hutchinson (34) and Aric Hutchinson (36).
Samantha was killed wearing her wedding dress, while Aric was seriously wounded.
“Sheriff Graziano meets occasionally with jail residents, so Jamie Komoroski is no exception."
The sheriff and her office have “made necessary accommodations” to aid Komoroski.
They have even helped her “be with [her] loved ones” in her own time of “crisis."
“Sheriff has no control over bond and has a right to personal opinions."
Jailhouse recordings show the inmate blabbing about the sheriff's intervention even after being told by her dad not to say anything. She continued to whine about the conditions in lockup.
She sobbed “Why me?” in calls to her family, and complained about a lack of writing supplies and the grim food on offer.
The food has included hot dogs, meatballs and bread rather than cold slop.
She has also complained about the remote control and lack of exercise mats.
Her boyfriend received similar complaints on May 8th during a call, while she spoke about how “the head person of Charleston County” had come to see her and thought she should be home.
It has been reported the sheriff “had a relationship” with one of Komoroski’s lawyers, Christopher Gramiccioni.
“She’s a very, very nice lady," said her dad.
Other calls show the suspect banging her head on walls and complaining that her “whole life is going to be over."
“Oh my God. I just can’t believe this happened to me. Why me? I’m going to be here for years and years and years and years. I’m just so confused, like, why this would happen to me."
It was confirmed her family reached out “because they were concerned about her access to medication, and our staff had already voiced concerns over her mental health."
“We take our jail residents’ mental health very seriously, and we believe that we made necessary accommodations to ensure she did not harm herself."
“In times of crisis, all people deserve the right to be with their loved ones, and it is unfortunate and tragic when circumstances prevent that.”
A representative for the sheriff states, “Sheriff has no personal relationship with Komoroski’s attorney, only professional."
“When there are tragic events in the community, it is common for [the] Sheriff to contact family members, as she feels it is a part of her job as a public servant."
Komoroski remains in custody after being denied bail.
The felony DUI charge against her carries a maximum 15-year penalty, and she also faces up to 10 years on the vehicular homicide charge.
She is also being sued by Aric Hutchinson.
“I didn’t mean it to happen," she said about the “freak accident,” which occurred as she was allegedly going about 65 mph in a 25-mph speed zone.
“I just feel like a terrible person, like, I didn’t mean for any of that to happen.”
