"Release of Jamie Komoroski: Controversy Surrounds DUI Crash Case"

Jamie Lee Komoroski, charged with drunk driving in the death of a Folly Beach bride, is set to be released from jail on house arrest after prosecutors missed a trial deadline. The 26-year-old has been in jail since her arrest in April 2023, facing charges of reckless vehicular homicide and felony DUI. The case's trial deadline was set for March 2024, but prosecutors failed to meet it, leading to her release on a $150,000 surety bond and house arrest. The backlog in Charleston County's General Sessions Court has contributed to the delay, and Komoroski's attorney stated that she is not a flight risk and looks forward to demonstrating her commitment to rehabilitation. If convicted, she could face substantial prison time.
