Legal Battle Over Estate of Bride Killed in DUI Crash on Wedding Night

Mother Challenges Validity of Daughter's Short-Lived Marriage, Accuses Groom of Potential Fraud

Samantha Miller, a bride from South Carolina, was killed on her wedding night in a DUI crash, sparking a legal battle over her estate between her husband, Aric Hutchinson, and her mother, Lisa Miller.
Hutchinson has sued several restaurants and bars for allegedly over-serving the drunk driver, Jamie Lee Komoroski, who crashed into the couple's golf cart, resulting in a settlement in October.
Lisa Miller has challenged the validity of her daughter's short-lived marriage to Hutchinson and his control over Samantha's assets, citing potential fraud and conflicts of interest.
Hutchinson's attorneys argue that he is the rightful heir to Samantha's assets as she died without a will and he was appointed as the personal representative of her estate.
Komoroski, the accused drunk driver, remains in jail awaiting trial and could be released on bond in March if a trial does not occur by then.
