EXCLUSIVE: Drunk driver, 25, who mowed down and killed bride hours after wedding is pictured dressed as 'BUD LIGHTYEAR', as it's claimed she is now on suicide watch in South Carolina jail

A drunk driver who mowed down and killed a bride hours after her wedding has been pictured dressed as a bottle of Bud Light, as it's claimed she is now on suicide watch in jail.

Jamie Lee Komoroski, 25, was snapped in the outfit in November 2018 - when she was underage. She had Bud Light logos strapped to her wrists and legs and the word 'year' scrawled on her T-Shirt.

The outfit appears to have been a boozy Halloween pun on Toy Story character Buzz Lightyear, with Komoroski also wearing a makeshift pair of wings, similar to those seen on the toy spaceman.

That snap is one of many on Komoroski's Instagram that refer to alcohol, or show her enjoying a drink. She is accused of drunkenly killing Samantha Hutchinson, 34, and injuring Samantha's husband Aric, 36.

Her most recent photo - uploaded to Instagram last Tuesday - show her posing on a beach in a white bikini, with the caption 'Did someone say tequila?'

Another uploaded on May 22 shows her clutching a can with the caption 'Chin up, butter cup!'.

And in October 2018, Komoroski was snapped holding up a bottle of what appeared to be sparkling wine to her mouth, with the caption 'Tailgate Queens.'

Hauntingly, Komoroski uploaded a photograph of herself on Folly Beach on March 28 - the same spot where her victims held their nuptials before Friday's tragic crash.

Agree 100%

And before anyone accuses me me of being soft, I’m all for executing shoplifters upon a third conviction

From further down in the DM article:

Folly Beach officials said Komoroski was not injured in the deadly smash. She was driving 65mph in a 25mph zone at the time of the crash and smelled of alcohol, but refused a field sobriety test.

According to the affidavit, she told first responders that she had consumed one beer and one tequila shot before getting behind the wheel.

When asked by officers how she felt on a scale of one to ten - ten being completely sober - Komoroski allegedly said she was an eight.

Results from Komoroski's blood tests are still pending, but Charleston County records show that she was charged with three felony DUIs resulting in great bodily injury or death and one count of reckless homicide. ...

She could face up to 25 years in prison for the death of the bride, as well of a fine of up to $25,100, and an additional 15 years and $10,100 for the serious injury caused to the men in the buggy.

The wedding couple and two other men were in the golf cart when they were struck by Komoroski's car, which she was driving at 65 mph.

Nah. The second confirmed conviction you lop off one of her fingers of her choice. Rinse and repeat and lop off another finger for every subsequent offence. It’ll take care of itself.

Alcohol is no ones friend. A bit now and then, no problem. Regular and frequent drunkenness will hurt many more than just the drunk.

Two people in my immediate family have killed themselves. That leaves a great deal of sadness and life long soul searching behind with the living. Believe me, you want to prevent suicides.

I would agree if I thought our justice system was very reliable, however I have seen way to many bad people walk and a few totally innocent people completely screwed.

I figure 1st offense conviction could be flawed, chances of it happening three times is nil though.
