Starting point is 00:01:00 I'm Ann Jeanette Levy, and this is Crime Fix. Jamie Kamaroski is serving a long prison sentence, but no sentence will ever be long enough for the family of Samantha Miller. The beautiful bride, Jamie Kamaroski killed on April 28, 2023. Sam, as she was called by family and friends, had just married the love of her life, Eric Hutchinson on Folly Beach in South Carolina. The wedding was beautiful. The couple was so in love they were just starting the rest of their lives together. Eric and Sam were riding in a golf cart after the reception when a drunk Jamie Kamaroski plowed into them. The new life of the newlyweds was shattered, destroyed before it could ever truly begin.
Starting point is 00:01:52 And it was all because of Jamie Komorowski's deliberate and reckless actions. Police in Folly Beach, South Carolina, uncovered surveillance video from a bar that showed Jamie Kameroski walking in and hugging people and then ordering drinks. Jamie and her friends cheer each other and they down some shots. Later, Jamie does another shot before leaving the bar. Despite being intoxicated, Jamie Kamaroski made the decision to get behind the wheel. We're also seeing what police found when they arrived at the horrific scene and how an incredibly intoxicated Jamie Kamaroski acted. Officers find absolute karnet Kamaroski's car clearly smashed into the golf cart that had been carrying Eric and Sam and two other people. Then officers meet up with Jamie Kamaroski.

My camera, yeah, I'm crying because he's not letting me call my father, even though they haven't proven and don't have any right for me not to be able to contact my family or anyone that I want to. So yeah, hello, I'm crying and ooh, I'm being just a little baby.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Oh, stop. Yes. Jamie Kamaroski is clearly focused on herself and not the damage she has caused. Did you work tonight? Tonight, no, I did not. Just living my life, you know, just, you know, trying to be a happy person as everyone tries to be. And then Jamie tries to engage in a little small talk. His favorite cereal? Serial?
Starting point is 00:19:51 Crunch berries. Captain Crunch berries? Yeah. Good choice. Honey-up Cheerios. Mm. I don't go wrong with this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:05 I am gonna have to agree with him. Captain Crunch. Berries is a really good choice. Never had it. No. Oh. What? What about ice cream?

Starting point is 00:20:40 It's kind of my favorite. It's so good. When you get that little cherry in there, so good. Those are good off. You know, my favorite personally is soft serve vanilla with rainbows. Good choice. But I'm a soft serve really. But if I do want hard serve,
Starting point is 00:21:03 mint chocolate chip and Cherry Garcia are definitely on the top of my list. That's foe show. Eventually, an officer reads Kamarowski her rights about drug and alcohol testing, and she makes a decision about whether she will comply. Do you understand? Yes? You understand? I don't wish to... Okay. Open your mouth, please? Why? I have to check to make sure you have nothing inside your mouth that you're not supposed to. I just, I am concerned and I would like to have. The faster that we go through this, the faster you can make your phone calls that you want to make.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Can you please open your mouth? For what reason? So I can check the inside of your mouth. Make sure you have no gum, tongue rings, anything that's not supposed to be in there. I want to do anything that makes your life easier, so. Okay. I feel weird doing this. You're refusing.
Starting point is 00:22:10 No, no, I'll do it. I'm just making sure you don't have a bell or anything like that. You know. Can you open your mouth, please? Okay. Thank you. Jamie Kamroski eventually raises a concern that her rights may have been violated. Nobody read my Miranda rights and I want to go.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Nobody read my Miranda rights. Did you? Did you? Did anybody? No, nobody yet. On the piece of paper is the case. Nobody read. my Miranda rights and I would like to get picked up right now please does everybody
Starting point is 00:22:47 want to say anything about that or what can I please get picked up now nobody read my Miranda rights before I was arrested and I would like to go now please hello anyone does anyone have to say anything you I was in there okay so So, I wasn't read my Miranda rights. So what? Now what? What happens now? I would like to know.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Do you know? What happens? What happens? Ma'am, just sit there and... Nobody read me my Miranda rights, so I would like to have my... They were read on scene. If you don't remember. No, nobody...
Starting point is 00:23:37 Nope, I do remember, and nobody read them to me. So I want to go home. Just relax. No, no, no. I want to go home. You cannot go home. I want to go home. I know you want to go home, but you're not going home.
Starting point is 00:23:50 So just relax. Nobody read me in my room. You said that a bunch. We hurt you. Okay, so what? So just hang tight. What does that mean? It means sit there quietly until I'm done and we'll go from there.
Starting point is 00:24:10 We did not see the officer read Jamie her rights at the scene. scene. However, she had asked for an attorney, so the officer stopped questioning her, and she hadn't been placed under arrest just yet. At that point, reading her rights to her about being allowed to remain silent and having the right to an attorney really wouldn't have mattered much when she had already asked for a lawyer. All right, so Jamie, I'm going to explain this to you. What this is doing is getting ready for a breast sample from you. I cannot force you to provide of breast sample, but if you refuse, okay, it will be used against you in the court of law. So when this goes to court, that will be used against you.
Starting point is 00:24:55 It's not going to be so much in your favor. Also, this is going to provide you a chance to show yourself, us, whoever, if you feel that you're not impaired, this is your chance to scientifically prove that you're not. Just keep that in mind. Do I get to go home? No. Then I want to call someone. You call someone after you go to jail.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Right now, we're just focusing on this. I want to call someone right now. You're not call someone right now. Why? Because we're in the middle of doing something. I would like to call someone right now. I know you would like to, but it's not going to happen. I'm not doing anything until I talk to someone.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Okay. Just keep that in mind, if you refuse, which is read in the consent, read in the consent, it's going to go against you in the court of law. Okay. Just keep that in mind. So this is your chance. If you don't do this, it's a missed opportunity. So once we leave, you can't say, oh, you know what, I want to do this. And then it proves that I'm not, like, intoxicated and I still can't go home. It's why am I going to do it? It will help you in court.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Why am I going to do it? I'm still not going to go home. So, no, I'm not going to do it. And I would like to talk to someone. And your license is going to be suspended as well. I want to talk to someone. Is for refusing as well? Can I please talk to someone?
Starting point is 00:26:15 Can I talk? Are you going to keep cutting me off? No. You're going to keep cutting me off? No. Okay. So with the refusal, also your license will be suspended, which has been explained to in your rights.
Starting point is 00:26:27 I just want to make sure you're aware of all this before. Correct. Because once you're done, you're done and we walk out of room. Okay. Are you willing to provide a breast sample? No. No? You're sure?
Starting point is 00:26:40 Yes. Your last chance? No. Do you want to blow in this? Provide a breast sample. I would like to talk to a lawyer before I do anything. Okay, so you do not want to give me a breast sample? Can I talk to my dad?
Starting point is 00:26:52 Not right now? Why? Do you want to provide a breast sample? I would like to talk to a lawyer before I don't do that. I'm going to take that as a refusal. Well, it's not a refusal. It's actually me asking if I could talk to somebody's in the lawyer. And you cannot.
Starting point is 00:27:06 That's your last chance. Would you like to provide a breast sample? Yes or no? I would like to talk to talk. to somebody before. Okay, that's refusing. How is that refusing? I'm asking me to, I'm asking if I can talk to somebody before.
Starting point is 00:27:18 No, you cannot. Okay. Would you like to provide a bare sample? I would like to talk to a sample. You are not going to talk to anybody. Then no. Okay, that's refusing. A blood draw was eventually taken from Jamie Kamaroski.

Jamie Kamaroski was charged. was charged with driving drunk and killing Sam Miller, and she was also charged with injuring Eric and Benjamin and Brogan Garrett, who were also in the golf cart.
