The South Carolina woman who hit a couple on their wedding day has been released on bond.
Jamie Lee Komoroski, 25, posted a $150,000 bond on Friday, according to court documents from the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center.
A judge denied her bond in August.
Authorities say she was three times over the legal blood alcohol limit when she hit a golf cart that newlyweds Samantha Miller and Aric Hutchinson were riding in on their wedding day. Miller, 34, died on the scene. Her husband has since had “reconstruction surgeries, numerous broken bones, and a brain injury.”
Miller and Hutchinson had just left their wedding reception that night, while Komoroski had allegedly spent her night “bar hopping.” Hutchinson filed a wrongful death lawsuit suit on behalf of Miller less than a month later.
Komoroski’s attorney, Chris Gramiccioni, provided a statement to PEOPLE on Saturday.
“We have consistently asserted that Jamie is not a flight risk or danger to the community, and she now looks forward to demonstrating her continued commitment to rehabilitation upon her pretrial release from detention,” he said.
Komoroski had an alleged blood alcohol level of 0.261 percent, citing the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division’s toxicology report. The state’s legal limit is 0.08.
Witnesses said she appeared “dazed and confused” after driving an alleged 65 mph in a 25 mph zone before the crash, PEOPLE reported.
Komoroski was charged with reckless vehicular homicide and three counts of driving under the influence causing death or great bodily injury.
If she doesn’t have a trial by March, she will be placed on house arrest in Charleston County.
A prosecutor told the outlet that the March trial deadline was not realistic and that “the judge knew that when he granted her bond.”
