Samantha Miller and her fiancé Aric Hutchinson spend the night celebrating their wedding. When the newlyweds leave the reception, the golf cart in which they are riding, is plowed over by a speeding car. Police say Jamie Komoroski is driving 65 mph in a 25 mph zone. Bride Samantha Miller is killed.

Jamie Lee Komoroski told officers on the scene that she was headed home when something hit her. The problem with that is her home was in the opposite direction. Komoroski admitted to police that she had been drinking that night, but refused to take a breathalyzer test.

Komoroski, 25, is charged with three counts of DUI with great bodily injury or death and reckless homicide. Now, just as Judge Deadra Jefferson is getting ready to begin jury selection for the trial, Jamie Lee Komoroski asks to change her plea from not guilty to guilty. Komoroski did not negotiate a plea deal, meaning the judge does not have to show her leniency for sparing Miller's family a trial.

Judge Deadre Jefferson sentences Komoroski to 25 years for reckless homicide; 15 years for the two counts of DUI involving great bodily injury and 10 years for the felony DUI charge. The sentences are concurrent, meaning Komoroski will spend 25 years in prison. Komoroski is now asking that her sentence be lowered.
