- 2:08Speaker 4: SAMs just got that Cloe.
- 2:10Speaker 5: The grief is still wrong for Eric Hutchinson, she's a tiler.
- 2:14Speaker 4: Walks in the room and he noticed.
- 2:18Speaker 5: Now speaking exclusively to ABC News in his first interview
- 2:22Speaker 5: since losing his wife Sam, the unimaginable tragedy on their
- 2:27Speaker 5: wedding night three weeks ago, an allegedly drunk driver crashing
- 2:31Speaker 5: into them as they left their reception.
- 2:33Speaker 6: I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. That night,
- 2:38Speaker 6: going from an all time high to an all time low.
- 2:43Speaker 6: It's pretty rough to comprehend.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Everyone was just so happy, she was so happy.
- 2:51Speaker 7: One of the best sights of your life.
- 2:56Speaker 2: You are hearing the groom speaking out. That's Eric Hutchinson
- 3:02Speaker 2: describing the best night of his life turning into the
- 3:09Speaker 2: worst night he could ever even imagine.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Here's more.
- 3:14Speaker 5: The newlyweds set off by their guests through a wave
- 3:17Speaker 5: of sparklers, jumping in a golf cart with family, but
- 3:21Speaker 5: they never made it home.
- 3:23Speaker 7: Do you remember the crash happening at all?
- 3:26Speaker 4: I don't. I wish I did. The I do remember.
- 3:40Speaker 6: The last thing I remember her saying was she wanted
- 3:43Speaker 6: the night to never end.
- 3:48Speaker 7: If that was the last thing she said to you.
- 3:53Speaker 5: Just down the road from their reception, their golf cart
- 3:55Speaker 5: hit by a car. Sam died at the sea.
- 3:59Speaker 4: I remember waking up just kind of.
- 4:03Speaker 6: Foggy, out of swords, and I could see my mom's
- 4:08Speaker 6: face and you could just tell something was wrong. And
- 4:11Speaker 6: I asked her where Sam or Sam? And then that's
- 4:16Speaker 6: when she told me it's a incident and that sound
- 4:21Speaker 6: didn't make it.
- 4:22Speaker 7: Is there anything inside of the driver?
- 4:26Speaker 8: No?
- 4:27Speaker 6: I can't right now. She's stole something.
- 4:39Speaker 2: She just.
- 4:43Speaker 4: She's stole an amazing human being that should not have
- 4:48Speaker 4: been taken.
- 4:49Speaker 2: You're hearing the groom speaking to our friend Ava Pilgrim.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Eric Hutchinson has life altering injuries his knee, bride dead
- 4:59Speaker 2: in her wedding dress with.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Me an all star panel.
- 5:02Speaker 2: First, I want to go to Audrey Conklin, investigative reporter
- 5:06Speaker 2: for Fox News Digital Audrey, thank you for being with us.
- 5:09Speaker 2: What exactly are the groom Eric Hutchinson's injuries?
- 5:14Speaker 9: He was, like you said, had life altering injuries and
- 5:18Speaker 9: now he's in a wheelchair. He was seen after the
- 5:21Speaker 9: crash gathering with friends and families with casts all over
- 5:26Speaker 9: his body and he was in a wheelchair and I'll
- 5:29Speaker 9: never recover from this.
- 5:31Speaker 2: I know he's got two broken legs, multiple other broken bones.
- 5:36Speaker 2: His face I believe had broken bones in it, and
- 5:40Speaker 2: we were told he even had some sort of a
- 5:43Speaker 2: brain injury. Let me go straight out to doctor Tim Gallagher,
- 5:47Speaker 2: renowned medical examiner joining us out of Florida at pathcaremed
- 5:52Speaker 2: dot com, lecturer at University Florida Medical School, Forensic Medicine,
- 5:56Speaker 2: the founder and host of the International Forensic Medicine Death
- 6:01Speaker 2: Investigation Conference. Doctor Gallagher, thank you for being with us.
- 6:05Speaker 2: What do you understand the injuries to the groom are and.
- 6:11Speaker 3: What exactly do we think happened to the bride?
- 6:16Speaker 10: Well, thanks for having me on the show, Nancy. It's
- 6:18Speaker 10: always a pleasure. We know that he does have the
- 6:21Speaker 10: broken long bones in his body. He's got broken bones
- 6:25Speaker 10: in his upper and lower legs and broken bones in
- 6:28Speaker 10: his arms.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Well, first of all, could you slow down just a moment.
- 6:32Speaker 2: I'm just a JD. You're the MD, and I have
- 6:35Speaker 2: to kind of absorb everything you're saying. Okay, do you
- 6:38Speaker 2: mind starting over?
- 6:39Speaker 3: Doctor?
- 6:40Speaker 11: Oh?
- 6:40Speaker 10: Absolutely. We understand that he does have broken bones in
- 6:45Speaker 10: his legs and in his arms. So one of the
- 6:49Speaker 10: bones that are broken in his legs is the bone
- 6:51Speaker 10: in your thigh, which is your femur, and your femur
- 6:55Speaker 10: is the strongest and toughest bone to break in body,
- 7:01Speaker 10: and both of his were fractured in multiple places, so
- 7:06Speaker 10: the force of the impact was tremendous in addition to that,
- 7:12Speaker 10: and you can even hear it in his voice. He
- 7:15Speaker 10: seems to have suffered a traumatic brain injury, you know,
- 7:20Speaker 10: which sometimes we call that a concussion or a some
- 7:25Speaker 10: bleeding in the brain, but you could actually hear it
- 7:28Speaker 10: in his voice as he's trying to search for his words.
- 7:33Speaker 10: You know, he loses his train of thought very easily.
- 7:37Speaker 10: And you know this is also associated with a life
- 7:41Speaker 10: long suffering from migrain headaches. So even though he has
- 7:49Speaker 10: survived the injury, he will never go back to his
- 7:55Speaker 10: athletic self. He will never go back to what he
- 7:58Speaker 10: was before he may ultimately be confined to the wheelchair
- 8:04Speaker 10: because of his injuries, and he may never recover mentally
- 8:08Speaker 10: from this incident.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Guys, you are hearing doctor Tim Gallagher, medical examiner out
- 8:12Speaker 2: of Florida, explaining what we believe happened to the groom,
- 8:19Speaker 2: what happened to the bride. It's very difficult for me
- 8:24Speaker 2: to focus on the injuries this bride has sustained when
- 8:29Speaker 2: I know that the defendant sitting behind bars is whining
- 8:35Speaker 2: she can't hold the TV remote.
- 8:37Speaker 3: But that said, what ended her life? Do we know? Doctor?
- 8:44Speaker 10: In these type of injuries, which we call acceleration slash
- 8:49Speaker 10: deceleration type injuries, the common injuries are this. One of
- 8:56Speaker 10: the life ending forces that happens is she literally breaks
- 9:03Speaker 10: her neck because of the whiplash. When you do that,
- 9:08Speaker 10: the spinal cord is severed at the neck, meaning that
- 9:15Speaker 10: everything below that injury, everything below the neck stops working,
- 9:19Speaker 10: meaning your lungs stop breathing and your organs don't function
- 9:26Speaker 10: any longer, and then you typically die from that. But
- 9:30Speaker 10: with the impact that you had, which could have been
- 9:34Speaker 10: as much as forty five to sixty five miles per hour,
- 9:41Speaker 10: we also find typically multiple breaks in the vertebral column
- 9:47Speaker 10: that is in the in the backbone, and multiple breaks
- 9:51Speaker 10: in the spinal cord. Meaning to say, if she did
- 9:55Speaker 10: survive this injury, she would be dependent on medical care,
- 10:05Speaker 10: you know, being in an ICU. She would never walk again,
- 10:07Speaker 10: she would never talk again, she would never breathe on
- 10:10Speaker 10: her own without the assistance of a machine. And typically
- 10:14Speaker 10: in these accidents, they're also associated with skull fractures, injuries
- 10:18Speaker 10: of the ribs. The ribs are also crushed so badly
- 10:21Speaker 10: that the shards of the broken ribs go into the lungs,
- 10:25Speaker 10: puncture the lungs as well as the heart. So these
- 10:27Speaker 10: are the typical injuries that we see in these acceleration
- 10:31Speaker 10: slash deceleration type injuries.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Time Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Joining me is the director and founder of the Cold
- 10:52Speaker 2: Case Research Institute and star of a hit podcast, Zone Seven.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Cheryl McCollum is joining us. Kerl how many times just
- 11:02Speaker 2: forget about the times that you and I have worked
- 11:04Speaker 2: crime scenes together, but through in all the times you
- 11:08Speaker 2: have worked with defendants, well, never really worked with defendants,
- 11:13Speaker 2: but been around defendants.
- 11:15Speaker 3: And all they think about is themselves.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Forget about the victim and the victim's family, that means
- 11:24Speaker 2: nothing to them. They care about one thing, and one
- 11:28Speaker 2: thing only. What is going to happen to me? That's
- 11:33Speaker 2: all they think about.
- 11:35Speaker 11: And I immediately always think about you. When you were
- 11:39Speaker 11: my prosecutor, one of the things you would do so
- 11:41Speaker 11: brilliantly is use those words against them. Let that jury
- 11:46Speaker 11: know this is what they said. So when she makes
- 11:50Speaker 11: statements like my whole life is going to be over,
- 11:54Speaker 11: I just can't believe this happened to me. Why me,
- 12:00Speaker 11: Your life's not over. The bride's life is over. Something
- 12:04Speaker 11: tragic happened to her, Something unbelievable happened to her, And
- 12:09Speaker 11: you would remind them of that. She died in her
- 12:13Speaker 11: wedding dress because choices you made, starting at about the
- 12:18Speaker 11: time she was taking her vowels. While she's getting ready,
- 12:22Speaker 11: while she's rolling her hair, you're getting ready to go
- 12:25Speaker 11: to a bar. While you're taking shots. She's taken her vowels,
- 12:31Speaker 11: while she's loving and accepting hugs and well wishes from
- 12:35Speaker 11: her grandparents and her parents and her siblings and her
- 12:38Speaker 11: best friends, you're getting in a car barreling right toward her.
- 12:43Speaker 11: That's what you would telligence.
- 12:45Speaker 2: You know, I want to remind everyone I introduced Cheryl
- 12:48Speaker 2: as a founder director of the Cold Case Research Institute,
- 12:52Speaker 2: but also the former president of a Georgia Mother's against
- 12:57Speaker 2: Drunk and Driving Mad And just hearing the name Jamie
- 13:02Speaker 2: Lee Komarowski makes me mad. You know what, Jackie, Let's
- 13:07Speaker 2: skip forward. I really don't know where to start with
- 13:11Speaker 2: what this woman is saying and whining about behind bars.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Let's just start with cut twenty five, our friends from
- 13:17Speaker 2: crimeonline dot com, and I want you to know where
- 13:20Speaker 2: this came from. These calls were obtained from the Post
- 13:27Speaker 2: and Courier, a local newspaper, and I'm so glad that
- 13:33Speaker 2: they got a hold of this because this is the
- 13:36Speaker 2: only way we could find out the true frame of
- 13:39Speaker 2: mind of the woman that mowed a bride down dead
- 13:43Speaker 2: on her wedding night, on her way to her honeymoon cottage.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Mowed her down dead, and she is whining behind bars
- 13:53Speaker 2: about the TV remote and the yoga mat and the
- 13:57Speaker 2: hot dogs and the meatballs. Really, that's the tip of
- 14:04Speaker 2: the iceberg. Take a listen to our friends at crime Online.
- 14:08Speaker 12: The jail house recordings were obtained by The Posting Courier
- 14:10Speaker 12: through a Freedom of Information Request. Quotes include Jamie Kamarowski
- 14:15Speaker 12: sobbing quote, I can't believe this is my life and
- 14:19Speaker 12: my whole life is going to be over. Oh my god,
- 14:23Speaker 12: I just can't believe this happened to me. Why me?
- 14:27Speaker 12: I'm going to be here for years and years and
- 14:30Speaker 12: years and years unquote. To this, Kamarowski's father replied that
- 14:35Speaker 12: it was time to quote suck it up and quote
- 14:39Speaker 12: get tough in her new environment. Jamie Kamarowski replied, I can't.
- 14:44Speaker 12: I want it to be over.
- 14:46Speaker 3: Correct me if I'm wrong.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Auji Conklin, investigative reporter, Fox News Digital.
- 14:50Speaker 3: But she's still in the county jail, right.
- 14:53Speaker 13: She is still in the county jail.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Yup, And this occurred where Aujie Conklin where exactly.
- 15:00Speaker 9: And Charleston County. So this is along the coast of
- 15:03Speaker 9: South Carolina.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Foley Beach, South Carolina. Has anybody on this panel ever
- 15:10Speaker 2: seen Andy of Mayberry?
- 15:15Speaker 3: Are you serious? Nobody on this panel seeing Andy Mayberry?
- 15:19Speaker 2: Well, I guess so it's like that Locke Hut. I like, yes,
- 15:24Speaker 2: I love Andy Mayberry. I force fed the children Andy
- 15:27Speaker 2: and Mayberry.
- 15:29Speaker 3: It's like that.
- 15:30Speaker 2: And I don't mean in a comical way at all.
- 15:35Speaker 2: I mean that this is not the big dollhouse, This
- 15:39Speaker 2: is a rikers. This is the local county jail where
- 15:44Speaker 2: they're typically actually really nice to the suspects that are
- 15:48Speaker 2: housed there. And she's already complaining about why me, me, me,
- 15:54Speaker 2: me me, Doctor Sherry Schwartz joining me, and boy, do
- 15:56Speaker 2: we need a shrink? Doctor Sherry Schwartz friends psychologists specializing
- 16:02Speaker 2: and capital mitigation and victim advocacy at panthermitigation dot com.
- 16:07Speaker 2: Author of Criminal Behavior and author of Where Law and
- 16:12Speaker 2: Psychology Intersect Issues in Legal Psychology.
- 16:17Speaker 3: She literally wrote the book, doctor Sherry Schwartz, thank you
- 16:21Speaker 3: for being with us. What is wrong with this woman?
- 16:24Speaker 14: Well, she's got a number of issues. The thing that
- 16:27Speaker 14: comes through in those phone calls that we're reading about
- 16:30Speaker 14: is this sense of entitlement. And in this case, when
- 16:34Speaker 14: you take it all together with everything that's been printed
- 16:37Speaker 14: so far, because she still has time to get on
- 16:39Speaker 14: the phone.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Oh yes.
- 16:40Speaker 14: This sense of entitlement is a maladaptive feature. It can
- 16:44Speaker 14: be considered an element of grandiosity or inflated sense of
- 16:48Speaker 14: self that's often seen in narcissism. Basically, it makes these
- 16:52Speaker 14: people inherently unlikable, and it's all about her. She doesn't
- 16:56Speaker 14: really have true remorse for what she's done, because if
- 16:59Speaker 14: she did, she would be expressing that with her other
- 17:03Speaker 14: words and behaviors, not just when she says I want
- 17:05Speaker 14: to apologize, trying to.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Soak in everything that you just said.
- 17:08Speaker 2: I agree with what you're saying about the sense of entitlement,
- 17:12Speaker 2: but I think it's so much more, you know. Another
- 17:15Speaker 2: issue is how did the posting courier get their mits
- 17:19Speaker 2: on these calls to Jarrett Farentino, homicide prosecutor. You can
- 17:24Speaker 2: find Jarrett on Facebook and insta at Jarrett Farentino. Jarrett,
- 17:28Speaker 2: thanks for being with us. Those calls are not privileged.
- 17:32Speaker 2: It's not like you're going into a dark closet and
- 17:37Speaker 2: confessing to a priest all the naughty things you've been doing.
- 17:40Speaker 2: It's not like you're meeting with your lawyer and everything
- 17:43Speaker 2: you say is protected by the attorney client privilege. You're
- 17:47Speaker 2: on a jailhouse public phone, or you're being videoed during visitation.
- 17:53Speaker 3: That's what I'm talking about. That's not privileged.
- 17:57Speaker 15: It's not privileged, Nancy, that those calls. I keep thinking
- 18:00Speaker 15: about Casey Anthony talking to her parents to same age,
- 18:05Speaker 15: same self entitlement, same narcissism on her jail house tapes.
- 18:11Speaker 15: Every jail in America has a sign. When you sit
- 18:15Speaker 15: down to visit with someone, your calls and visits are
- 18:18Speaker 15: recorded and subject to disclosure. When you have these meetings,
- 18:25Speaker 15: they're so powerful in a courtroom. They're certainly powerful in
- 18:29Speaker 15: the court of public opinion. You are given you know,
- 18:33Speaker 15: you could only hold on to the acting part of
- 18:35Speaker 15: this for so long. You are given a real look
- 18:38Speaker 15: into who Jamie Kamarowski is when she's interacting with her parents,
- 18:42Speaker 15: complaining about the food. And it's just a powerful tool
- 18:46Speaker 15: in the presentation of the case. And as as Cheryl said,
- 18:50Speaker 15: you would use the words against people like Jamie. I
- 18:54Speaker 15: have done it. Prosecutors have done it across the country.
- 18:58Speaker 15: If you can find a defendant it thinks themselves in
- 19:00Speaker 15: that kind of visit, it's very powerful.
- 19:02Speaker 2: Well, Jared Farantino, you read my mind, Jackie, please play
- 19:08Speaker 2: cut forty.
- 19:09Speaker 16: In this entire time, I haven't sat in my room
- 19:12Speaker 16: for the entire month and been mad, not once, not
- 19:16Speaker 16: one time, but right now, this is the most agitated
- 19:21Speaker 16: and frustrated that I've been, even when I've sat with
- 19:23Speaker 16: Jose and I watched that episode of Nancy Grace and
- 19:27Speaker 16: stuff that was being said about Mom, and being said
- 19:29Speaker 16: about me and him and everybody else, and the stuff
- 19:32Speaker 16: that I've heard. It's frustrated me, but I've let it go.
- 19:35Speaker 3: Right now. I'm so.
- 19:38Speaker 16: Hurt by everything. I don't even know what to say.
- 19:40Speaker 16: And I hate to say that you're.
- 19:43Speaker 7: The one that can control everything.
- 19:44Speaker 15: You're the one I did.
- 19:45Speaker 8: Dad.
- 19:46Speaker 3: Please reading, I'm I'm not.
- 19:49Speaker 15: Trying to get upset.
- 19:49Speaker 7: I'm trying to, but I am upset.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Now what not only is she trashing me as if
- 19:55Speaker 2: I care, that's Top Mom, Casey Anthony, that Jarrett Farantina
- 19:58Speaker 2: just brought up why behind bars about something I said
- 20:02Speaker 2: about her mother.
- 20:03Speaker 3: I said that her mother was probably going to lie.
- 20:06Speaker 2: To protect her, which she did augustand Sydney Anthony risking perjury,
- 20:12Speaker 2: taking the heat to get her daughter off. That's how
- 20:16Speaker 2: much she loves Top Mom, Casey Anthony. And then at
- 20:19Speaker 2: the end you hear George Anthony, God bless that man
- 20:24Speaker 2: say you're the one that can control everything. In other words,
- 20:26Speaker 2: you can tell us where Caylee's body is, you can
- 20:30Speaker 2: tell us what happened, and that sets top mom, Casey
- 20:33Speaker 2: Anthony off and the Dad's going sweetie, sweetie, I don't
- 20:37Speaker 2: mean to get you upset, and she starts screaming.
- 20:39Speaker 3: But that's not all. Listen of cut forty one.
- 20:41Speaker 16: I'm gonna completely upset one. The media is gonna have
- 20:43Speaker 16: a freaking field day with this. No, I wasn't even
- 20:47Speaker 16: I wasn't even supposed to take this. Let me say
- 20:50Speaker 16: your for a second, dad, I don't let everybody talk. Okay,
- 20:53Speaker 16: they're not releasing it, while I hope not. I'll keep
- 20:56Speaker 16: saying whatever I have to about the police, sitter's.
- 20:58Speaker 3: They don't let it go.
- 21:00Speaker 17: Let me come on, Casey, hold on, sweetheart, settle down.
- 21:05Speaker 16: Nobody's letting me speak. You want me to talk, then
- 21:09Speaker 16: all right, get listen seconds to see something.
- 21:12Speaker 4: I want Kelly.
- 21:14Speaker 16: Things like that, And that's not even getting put on.
- 21:16Speaker 3: The air, which it should be.
- 21:17Speaker 16: It's everything else, everything that I'm not saying.
- 21:21Speaker 2: You know why she's so angry because her parents are
- 21:24Speaker 2: asking her, sweetheart, where's Kelly your daughter?
- 21:30Speaker 3: But do you hear what she's focused on?
- 21:32Speaker 2: Not her missing daughter who she killed, but on what
- 21:36Speaker 2: the media is saying and how the media is going
- 21:39Speaker 2: to portray her now one more and remember all these
- 21:45Speaker 2: all these statements, all of these phone calls, all of
- 21:48Speaker 2: these video chats are there for us to see and
- 21:54Speaker 2: read and hear under the Sunshine Act in Florida and
- 22:00Speaker 2: other jurisdictions. Take a listen to our cut forty three.
- 22:04Speaker 3: You just to understand we're.
- 22:05Speaker 18: All going in so many different directions.
- 22:07Speaker 3: We just want to go in the right one.
- 22:08Speaker 16: Well, I can't point you in that direction when I'm
- 22:11Speaker 16: literally at a standstill. Okay, I am just as removed
- 22:17Speaker 16: from the situation as somebody who has no clue what's
- 22:21Speaker 16: going on. At least even random people that we've never
- 22:24Speaker 16: met have more of an outlook on this than I do.
- 22:27Speaker 17: Right now.
- 22:28Speaker 16: It's really sad. That's really really sad that I literally
- 22:33Speaker 16: have nothing right now.
- 22:38Speaker 9: Wow.
- 22:38Speaker 16: Nothing.
- 22:39Speaker 2: And of course Todt mom Casey Anthony walked free on
- 22:44Speaker 2: the murder of her daughter Kelly. But that brings me
- 22:47Speaker 2: to Misty Crosslin, the so fought called girlfriend that was
- 22:53Speaker 2: taking care of a beautiful little girl, Haley Cummins and
- 22:57Speaker 2: somehow in the middle of the night her story is
- 23:00Speaker 2: it's someone as she came into the trailer they shared
- 23:05Speaker 2: and took the baby. Haley Cummings, and she had no
- 23:11Speaker 2: idea what happened. Okay, crawls and getstone in jail. On
- 23:15Speaker 2: another matter, I believe it was drugs. But I want
- 23:18Speaker 2: you to hear our cut forty four, her whining about
- 23:22Speaker 2: her predicament behind bars.
- 23:25Speaker 19: I'm all one.
- 23:26Speaker 8: Out of here. Have you heard that my bond was
- 23:38Speaker 8: got blured or anything.
- 24:01Speaker 16: Tween ten thousand?
- 24:02Speaker 12: To get out?
- 24:06Speaker 8: I hope you guys can get me out.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Okay, First of all, Robert Crispin joining me, private investigator,
- 24:12Speaker 2: former Federal Task Force for US Department of.
- 24:14Speaker 3: Justice, DEEA Miami Field Division.
- 24:17Speaker 2: Never like a business there, former homicide investigator now at
- 24:22Speaker 2: Crispininvestigations dot com? Did she actually say what is ten
- 24:27Speaker 2: percent of fifty thousand? And then she and I think
- 24:31Speaker 2: her mom agreed that that's ten thousand?
- 24:34Speaker 13: Right?
- 24:34Speaker 19: Right? Right? They're more worried about what her bond is
- 24:37Speaker 19: than where's the missing child?
- 24:39Speaker 2: Wait, okay, maybe I went to the wrong person. You know,
- 24:42Speaker 2: your phone has a calculator on it in case you
- 24:44Speaker 2: can't figure out what's ten percent of fifty thousand?
- 24:47Speaker 3: It's five thousand, right, right of course? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 24:51Speaker 3: I knew that. But okay, to your point, which.
- 24:53Speaker 19: Is which is they're more worried about what her bond
- 24:55Speaker 19: is and what they need to come up with to
- 24:57Speaker 19: get out of jail versus the entire reason she's in
- 25:00Speaker 19: there and where's his child. They only care about themselves, Nancy,
- 25:04Speaker 19: That's all they care about.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Of course, I can tell you right now Haley Cummings
- 25:07Speaker 2: is dead because she's been missing so long now, there's
- 25:12Speaker 2: no way this child is still alive.
- 25:14Speaker 3: And this woman never told the truth.
- 25:17Speaker 2: Hey, guys, you heard I taught my Casey Anthony whining
- 25:21Speaker 2: about the Nancy Grace show.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Well, listen to Misty Crossland and Cup forty five.
- 25:25Speaker 18: They're recording everything, y'all do I mean, how how can
- 25:28Speaker 18: we not see each other?
- 25:29Speaker 12: We are not defending And I think Nancy Gray needs
- 25:33Speaker 12: to keep her mouth shutting because she knows the fact.
- 25:37Speaker 10: All kind of crazy crowd all about you and Haley and.
- 25:43Speaker 2: It is oh yeah, right, okay, So again all worried
- 25:51Speaker 2: about what the media is saying about them, and I
- 25:53Speaker 2: want to bring it back home to the case we're
- 25:56Speaker 2: covering right now of Jamie Lee Komarowski. You know what,
- 26:01Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to our cut twenty nine Jackie.
- 26:05Speaker 2: This is what we learned about Jamie Lee Komarowski behind bars.
- 26:10Speaker 18: Kamarowski talks about the crash with her friends in a
- 26:12Speaker 18: video chat obtained by the Charleston Post and Courier. She said, quote,
- 26:16Speaker 18: it was just like a freak accident. Obviously, I didn't
- 26:19Speaker 18: mean it to happen.
- 26:21Speaker 3: A freak accident.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grease, Cheryl McCollum.
- 26:45Speaker 2: There is no accident about getting drunk in a bar
- 26:51Speaker 2: and deciding to take your keys, go crank up your car,
- 26:57Speaker 2: put it in reverse, put it in drive, go out
- 26:59Speaker 2: on the road and speed plowing your car into the
- 27:02Speaker 2: bride and grin.
- 27:04Speaker 3: That's not an accident.
- 27:05Speaker 11: That is not an accident. Those are all choices that
- 27:09Speaker 11: only she made. She made the choice to be three
- 27:13Speaker 11: times the legal limit. She made the choice to drive
- 27:16Speaker 11: twice the speed limit. She did that and when she
- 27:21Speaker 11: hit them, Nancy, I want people to understand to knock
- 27:24Speaker 11: someone off a golf cart a hundred feet that is
- 27:31Speaker 11: a powerful impact. That again, she was killed instantly. But
- 27:37Speaker 11: it all resulted not that she woke up that morning
- 27:40Speaker 11: and predetermined she was going to murder somebody, but her
- 27:43Speaker 11: actions caused the death of someone. She did it, she alone.
- 27:48Speaker 2: He know you're a Fiorentino better than homicide prosecutor Jared.
- 27:54Speaker 2: I firmly believe that duy vehiculo homicide should actually be
- 27:59Speaker 2: treated like malice murder, because, as Cheryl McComb just pointed out,
- 28:03Speaker 2: it's not that you somehow end up drunk. This one
- 28:08Speaker 2: is three times the legal limit, but a series of
- 28:12Speaker 2: decisions are made leading up to the death of another person,
- 28:19Speaker 2: maybe akin to a felony murder charge. I find that
- 28:23Speaker 2: vehicular homicide DUIs are treated.
- 28:26Speaker 3: Much more leniently. And I don't agree this is not
- 28:29Speaker 3: an accident.
- 28:30Speaker 15: I agree one hundred percent, Nancy. They're treated like accidents,
- 28:35Speaker 15: almost like as tragic or accidental on the part of
- 28:39Speaker 15: the defendant. When you look back, as Cheryl said, you
- 28:42Speaker 15: look at all of the intentional actions that were committed
- 28:46Speaker 15: by Jamie Lee Kamarowski. She went out, she drank too much.
- 28:51Speaker 15: Every drink she took was another intentional act, putting her
- 28:56Speaker 15: in that drunk state. And then she makes the choice
- 29:00Speaker 15: to get behind the wheel. Then she speeds. Her speed
- 29:04Speaker 15: was sixty five miles an hour in a twenty five
- 29:06Speaker 15: mile an hour zone. Also, these are choices and voluntary acts.
- 29:11Speaker 15: She is acting intentionally and should be held accountable for
- 29:15Speaker 15: those acts. It's no different than taking a weapon and
- 29:18Speaker 15: aiming it at someone and shooting. It's that simple. It's murder.
- 29:22Speaker 15: It should be felamy well.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Another issue to Cheryl McCollum is under our law across
- 29:28Speaker 2: our country, voluntary use of drugs or alcohol is not
- 29:33Speaker 2: a defense. Otherwise everybody in the local jail and the
- 29:37Speaker 2: federal penitentiary would go, oh, I was drunk when I
- 29:39Speaker 2: did that, and then walk straight out the front door.
- 29:42Speaker 3: That is not a defense.
- 29:44Speaker 2: So why should it in any way mitigate the death
- 29:48Speaker 2: of Samantha the Bride.
- 29:50Speaker 11: I don't understand that it should not and it will not.
- 29:53Speaker 11: Hear and I'll tell you something else. All you gotta
- 29:54Speaker 11: do is listen to her dad. Her dad tells her
- 29:57Speaker 11: to suck it up and get tough. He has known
- 30:00Speaker 11: her behavior. There's not one person that ends up in
- 30:04Speaker 11: this situation and claims they need to go to rehab.
- 30:07Speaker 11: They didn't know they had an alcohol abuse problem before,
- 30:11Speaker 11: didn't know they didn't have the substance abuse problem before.
- 30:13Speaker 11: There is nobody in rehab right now that is shocked.
- 30:17Speaker 11: They knew, they knew they had a problem. Their family knew,
- 30:21Speaker 11: their friends knew, their co workers knew. This isn't gonna
- 30:24Speaker 11: surprise anybody. It's tragic and they hate that it happened,
- 30:28Speaker 11: but she freaking did it.
- 30:29Speaker 2: I want Percy Pittser joining us to take a listen
- 30:32Speaker 2: to what we're about to play. Percy Pittser, former federal warden,
- 30:37Speaker 2: thirty years in corrections, founder of Creative Corrections Education Foundation, Percy,
- 30:45Speaker 2: take a listen to this our friends at crime Online.
- 30:47Speaker 17: Kamarowski tells friends it's likely that she won't serve any
- 30:51Speaker 17: prison time because it had all been an accident. Kamarowski
- 30:54Speaker 17: says other inmates told her she would get out on
- 30:56Speaker 17: bond and have to do a bunch of stuff while
- 30:59Speaker 17: awaiting trial. That would be stuff that quote that like
- 31:02Speaker 17: makes you look good and they'll like let you off easy.
- 31:06Speaker 17: Kamarowski tells friends, quote there's been people that have killed
- 31:10Speaker 17: people on purpose before, and like they've gotten out on
- 31:13Speaker 17: a bond.
- 31:14Speaker 18: Via a video chat screen obtained by the Charleston Post
- 31:18Speaker 18: and Courier, Palmarowski sobbed and covered her face, saying she
- 31:21Speaker 18: didn't want people to think she was a terrible person.
- 31:24Speaker 18: Palmorowski predicted she would be set free on bail within
- 31:27Speaker 18: two months, and in the meantime, she said she was
- 31:30Speaker 18: thinking of learning a new language and was passing the
- 31:33Speaker 18: time listening to history and science podcasts. Quote, I'm going
- 31:37Speaker 18: to be a genius when I get out.
- 31:39Speaker 2: I just had to pause and let that sink in.
- 31:41Speaker 2: Percy pittser there's just so much happening in this woman's head,
- 31:45Speaker 2: none of it good.
- 31:46Speaker 3: Telling friends she won't.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Have to serve prison time because it had all been
- 31:50Speaker 2: an accident, that the other inmates are telling her she's
- 31:54Speaker 2: going to get out on bond and quote, do a
- 31:56Speaker 2: bunch of stuff to make you look good so you
- 32:00Speaker 2: can get let off easy, and then going on to
- 32:04Speaker 2: talk about all the podcasts she's going to listen to
- 32:07Speaker 2: behind bars.
- 32:08Speaker 3: What is wrong with this woman, Percy? And have you ever.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Seen defendants actually admit, Hey, I did a horrible thing.
- 32:19Speaker 2: How can I make up for it?
- 32:20Speaker 3: I feel awful about what I did. That's not what
- 32:23Speaker 3: we're hearing from this woman, Percy.
- 32:25Speaker 20: I suspect that she's never in her life been held
- 32:29Speaker 20: accountable for anything that she's done, for any decisions that
- 32:33Speaker 20: she's made. She don't understand or not willing to understand
- 32:38Speaker 20: that ever acts and has a consequence and her consequences
- 32:45Speaker 20: is probably going to be in prison for quite a while.
- 32:49Speaker 20: And you know, even her dad recognizes her flaws when
- 32:53Speaker 20: he says, I could up and get tough. It's just
- 32:58Speaker 20: and she's not going to do easy time because I
- 33:00Speaker 20: don't think the inmates will allow her to with her attitude.
- 33:04Speaker 20: You know you're guilty, but I'm not sure.
- 33:07Speaker 2: Words were never spoken, Percy. But I want to circle
- 33:10Speaker 2: back to the parents in this scenario, Apparently the apple
- 33:15Speaker 2: does not fall far from the tree. Take a listen
- 33:18Speaker 2: to our cut twenty six from Crime Online.
- 33:21Speaker 17: In a phone call obtained by the Charleston Post and Courier,
- 33:25Speaker 17: Kamarowski's father says, quote, you don't need to be sorry, Jamie.
- 33:29Speaker 17: This is what happened, and we're going to take care
- 33:31Speaker 17: of it. There's no being sorry about it. Her father
- 33:34Speaker 17: said during one call. We don't care about what happened.
- 33:38Speaker 17: We don't care. We only care about you. Kamarowski repeatedly
- 33:42Speaker 17: thanked her parents for standing by her.
- 33:44Speaker 2: We don't care what happened, we don't care what happened
- 33:48Speaker 2: to the bride. Well, we only care about you and
- 33:52Speaker 2: getting you out of jail.
- 33:53Speaker 3: Is that Percy.
- 33:54Speaker 20: Yeah, you know, she's just never been held accountable for anything.
- 33:58Speaker 20: She's just and obviously her parents probably instigated that in
- 34:04Speaker 20: early childhood. You know, I'm going to take care of you.
- 34:08Speaker 2: We don't care what happened. Okay, But there's also the
- 34:16Speaker 2: mom in this scenario. What do we know about the mom?
- 34:20Speaker 2: Take a listen to our cut thirty six, our friend.
- 34:22Speaker 12: Dave Mack, ten years before her daughter allegedly struck and
- 34:26Speaker 12: killed a bride on her wedding night on Fowley Beach.
- 34:28Speaker 12: Sixty two year old Tracy Kamarowski was the driver of
- 34:31Speaker 12: a jeep that struck and killed Forest Fire Service warden
- 34:33Speaker 12: Jeffrey Sure during a control burn in New Jersey. It
- 34:37Speaker 12: was mid morning as the control burned near Round Valley
- 34:39Speaker 12: Reservoir in New Jersey was underway when the wind suddenly
- 34:42Speaker 12: shifted and sent smoked so heavy across the road that
- 34:45Speaker 12: three drivers couldn't see a fire truck partially blocking the
- 34:48Speaker 12: road with emergency lights flashing. The first vehicle narrowly missed
- 34:52Speaker 12: the truck and Warden Sure, but the jeep behind it,
- 34:55Speaker 12: driven by Tracy Komorowski, struck and killed the firefighter near
- 34:58Speaker 12: Round Valley Recreation. Here the suv that was third in
- 35:01Speaker 12: line clipped the fire truck and the jeep. Jeffrey Sure
- 35:05Speaker 12: was thirty five and a six year veteran of the
- 35:06Speaker 12: Fire Service. The crash that took his life was deemed
- 35:09Speaker 12: a tragic accident and no charges were filed.
- 35:12Speaker 2: So that's what we know about the mom, and we
- 35:17Speaker 2: know the dad. Has told the daughter, Jamie Lee Komarowski,
- 35:22Speaker 2: we don't care what happened to the bride. We care
- 35:26Speaker 2: about you and what is happening to this woman behind bars?
- 35:30Speaker 2: While Takeolos to our cut thirty two.
- 35:32Speaker 12: Kamarowski has been vocal about conditions in the jail. Her
- 35:35Speaker 12: complaints range from a lack of writing supplies to not
- 35:38Speaker 12: having an exercise matt to do her crunches. Kamarowski has
- 35:42Speaker 12: complained about nosy deputies and the food hot dogs, called meatballs,
- 35:46Speaker 12: white bread, and more. She even complains that a deputy
- 35:50Speaker 12: wouldn't even let her hold the remote control to change
- 35:53Speaker 12: the television channels in her holding area.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Audrey Conklin joining us from Fox News Digital, Please help me, Audrey,
- 36:00Speaker 2: how do we know this woman complained about not being
- 36:03Speaker 2: able to hold the TV remote?
- 36:05Speaker 13: We know that because the Posting Courier obtained recordings from
- 36:10Speaker 13: the jailhouse that Jamie made with her parents and her friends,
- 36:15Speaker 13: and that's what she said in one of the recordings.
- 36:17Speaker 2: Meatballs, hot dogs, bread, yoga, Matt TV remote writing supplies.
- 36:30Speaker 2: Cheryl McCollum. Maybe she needs to review the crime scene photos.
- 36:35Speaker 11: Can you imagine just the witness list? Maybe don't even
- 36:39Speaker 11: get to the photographs yet. Just look at the witnesses. Grandma,
- 36:44Speaker 11: your elderly neighbor growing up, your first grade teacher, your
- 36:47Speaker 11: best friend from college, your best friend from first grade.
- 36:51Speaker 11: It goes on and own, your siblings, your parents. I
- 36:57Speaker 11: can't imagine that scene. Having worn't that as a first responder.
- 37:02Speaker 11: Were not just you have this tragic death, but every
- 37:06Speaker 11: single person that loved her was right there.
- 37:09Speaker 2: Well it's not over, is it. Audrey Conklin joining us
- 37:12Speaker 2: in Fox News Digital, Audrey, take a listen to our
- 37:15Speaker 2: cut thirty one, our Forensic Crime Online.
- 37:17Speaker 17: During their jail house conversations obtained by the Charleston Post
- 37:20Speaker 17: and Courier, Kamarowski's father said, quote bringing the jersey to
- 37:24Speaker 17: South Carolina, Baby. He was referring to the fact that
- 37:28Speaker 17: two top notch attorneys have been hired to represent Kamarowski,
- 37:31Speaker 17: a husband and wife team who hailed from their home
- 37:34Speaker 17: state of New Jersey. During the conversation, Kamarowski's father tells
- 37:38Speaker 17: her to stop talking about the wreck. He reminds her
- 37:41Speaker 17: that her statements were being recorded and could be used
- 37:44Speaker 17: against her. Kamarowski keeps interrupting and ignoring his words. Jamie
- 37:49Speaker 17: Lee Komarowski says, quote, but I wanted to make sure
- 37:52Speaker 17: that I could say an apology, and they said I
- 37:54Speaker 17: would be able to say an apology. Kamarowski's father, listen,
- 37:59Speaker 17: stop talking about it. Don't even say that.
- 38:02Speaker 3: So I guess what's happening right there.
- 38:03Speaker 2: Jarrett Farantino, Homici prosecutor, is the father is savvy enough
- 38:08Speaker 2: to know that if you apologize, that could indicate you
- 38:11Speaker 2: know you're guilty.
- 38:12Speaker 3: And he's like, don't say that, don't say that.
- 38:16Speaker 15: None of what she's saying is helping her nancy in
- 38:18Speaker 15: any way, and she's seeing this as an opportunity to
- 38:21Speaker 15: express remorse despite her dad's warning, Oh who express remore?
- 38:26Speaker 2: She's saying, I hope the judge knows I'm really sorry,
- 38:30Speaker 2: And do I get a chance to make an apology?
- 38:33Speaker 2: Everything is about her looking good to get out on bond.
- 38:36Speaker 3: That's what this is about exactly.
- 38:38Speaker 15: And her attorney in the bond application said, her client
- 38:43Speaker 15: or their client is being painted as the villain. She
- 38:46Speaker 15: is the villain.
- 38:47Speaker 8: Who is she?
- 38:48Speaker 3: She is the villain in this scenario.
- 38:50Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely, Audrey Conklin, what can you tell us about
- 38:55Speaker 2: the status of a bond for the defendant, Jamie Lee Komaroski.
- 39:00Speaker 9: I can tell you that she fully expects to postpond.
- 39:03Speaker 9: She's expecting her parents and her family to come in
- 39:07Speaker 9: and post this money for her so that she can
- 39:11Speaker 9: get out of jail. She's told her friends that she
- 39:14Speaker 9: thinks she's going to get out of jail soon.
- 39:16Speaker 2: We wait as Justice unfoles.
- 39:19Speaker 7: Goodbye friend,
