What a horrible defense attorney!! You get what you deserve Nathaniel 🤦♀️
Can you blame her. She has to produce a narrative that fights mounting physical evidence. Juries practically take the word of Prosecutors and cops even with just circumstancial evidence.
@@WithoutRemorse12 Yes we can. People are wrongfully convicted everyday, but Nathaniel is not one of them.
His legal team is a complete joke! Dude guilty as hell‼️
Dude guilty as hell‼️
But can u prove it?
@UCslwUVn8XADhCvgj7MtdHMQ it works both ways. Im suppose to feel bad for an idiot that don't have sense to verify identification like the TERMS & CONDITIONS clearly state? Its his fault cuz she doesn't know how to read? Either way, its not a crime to sleep or party... or be a victim of theft!!! Don't be mad cuz her lawyers are incompetent! Contact her lawyers colleges and demand a refund... be mad about that! 🤣
Stop wasting our time and tax dollars ! Guilty!
Only that state pays not all of America pays.
Only if he had a public defender.
And if he had a private attorney his momma probably paid for it.
The opening statement from the defense falls flat! Poor young woman. What a horrible manner of death.
Her blood was found in his shoe..I guess he will say someone borrowed his shoes..
im a black man who is having a very hard time understanding his i didnt do it defence. she gets into his car why the hell didnt he tell her mam im not your uber driver wtf i just dont get this. if somebody stole his car why didnt he report it, why did he run when he got pulled over. i wanna give anyone the benefit of the doubt but this is not making any since to me at all.
EXACTLY
Of course!!! Sure.. Ok Mr. “BLACK MAN”! 👌🏾 🤣😂🤣😂
💯,% GUILTY, let Justice be served
Of course he is to blame. Meet ya. At the end of the trial at the verdict
lol you got it Olivia...I agree with you.
@@Nativebeautys The defense attorney has one good point. Why wasn't Nathaniel's DNA under her figernails. I would expect some of his DNA to be found on her. I do believe all circumstantial evidence points to Nathaniel being the killer but there should be DNA evidence to nail a guilty verdict.
She comes across so poorly here . I hate it when lawyers over rehearse what they are going to say . See you at the sentencing .
She needs some public speaking classes. This is awful.
Was she part of the opening for the prosecution? If that's the best the defense has he's cooked as he should be.
Not to blame, I guess the video was an optical illusion.
Thanks for making it clear the murder victim was innocent on all accounts 😬 what a moronic opening defense!
I can't believe that is the defense...
Shes going for the not one scratch on his face or body defense, because she constantly brings up how hard she fought. Wht bout DNA under her nails??
Is that why he put on his hoody?
From cleaning up blood 🩸
None of it was his DNA 🧬 Belongs to 2 unidentified person(s)
they did not note the pain she suffered,
they did not note the horror she felt,
Zero chance it wasn't him GUILTY.. Next!
What a shame nobody is buying the sob story he ran from police and bloody clothing that had her dna on it. They also found the victims phone in his car
He tried to sell the phone actually. And he tried to use her ATM card twice
Didn't he try to sell her iPhone?
@@karenhummel49 yes he did and tried her atm card twice!!
@@vickishack5139 that's right. Thanks for reminding me! He is seen on video trying her card ATM. 🙏
He’s definitely guilty, it was his car and he tried to sell her phone 📱
A despicable monster!
It is there job lol.
So horrible, senseless, evil. 👹
Honestly these cases are hard to listen to the defense when you have that felling in your gut that they accused is guilty
What fell in your gut?
Thanks COMCAST for dropping COURT TV from our lineup with ZERO notice.......soooo disappointed to be missing this trial and many on the docket.
You can watch COURT TV online!
Is this the prosecution or the defense? It's like she's prosecuting her own client.
What is perfectly clear is that this alleged Lawyer is the biggest DOPE in America and a complete MUPPET. In this clip alone the idiot spoke for near 7 minutes and did not say anything meaningful - did not challenge any prosecution evidence but instead repeated what is not in dispute by either party. She should be charged with False Pretences. Only my Opinion
Very strange opening statement. Normally you say "the evidence will show"....(as to why it is not the defendant). But the evidence in this case is staggering. As an attorney I would not like to be on this defense teram.
When you said THE EVIDENCE WILL SHOW all I could think of was Ronnie Oneal🤣🤣 but yeah he guilty to
@@purpjones1033 haha!🤣TRUTH! I’ll never be able to hear “the evidence will show” again w/o thinking of that psycho. Dude was a straight up mad hatter with ALL the crazy sprinkles!
@@purpjones1033 👍 same
Are you serious!?! Her saying ZERO....NO DNA from the Defendant is found anywhere on the victim, even though the victim tried her best to fight off her attacker, is not compelling enough for you!?!
Tell me your name so I will stay clear of you if I ever need a lawyer.
@@faithhouses6725 What is your name?
I'm so glad I'm not on that jury. Cuz this opening statement is so boring. Lost me in the first 3 minutes. Duh we all know police collect evidence don't we?
She lost me at hello!!😴
Defense attorney is very hard to listen to ....I couldn't . I had to fast forward, then just end the video. She's SO SLOW in talking it's VERY FRUSTRATING, can't get to her point.
They have to speak slow because of the transcribing typing every single word down on the record. Thankfully their is different playback speeds on TH-cam. lol.
I can’t believe the defense actually has the nerve to say he’s not to blame!
I have followed this case from day 1.He’s Guilty of the charges against him!💥
Wow!!! Amazing you were there to analyze all the DNA and all the evidence!!!! Sherlock, where have you been hiding all these years!?!
All of the pauses are driving me nuts!!! If she is going to read off of notes than she needs to stand still, instead of walking around & than pausing just to go back & read from it again!!! Annoying!!!
I was waiting for my boyfriend’s brother to come pick me up one day in a red Corvette. I was standing by the road when a red Corvette pulled up and I got in. A minute later I realized, “This is NOT the guy!” Well, I was able to get out, but wow, I see how it could happen. She didn’t know that somebody was stalking her! She did NOT deserve this! Poor women in this world, and children. Be careful.
is Christian Bahena defense team representing Nathaniel? lmao
Agree 👍
Did she tell us why to remember 12? I got bored.
Remember 12 because zero people will say a bad thing about the victim.
So.... uhm.....
Yeah.

You know where she's going.......
He was asleep at a party his car was took when he got it back or found it there was blood and a purse credit card, so he tried to use the card then he tried to clean his car, he tried to sell the phone he found, then when the cops tried to pull him he thought he had to run because of this mad situation he was in!
I think something like that anyway????
Oh yea, he is so innocent! Not !!!!
@@jengirl6475 you're still going to hear the other sides story before it's over. I'm interested to see if it's anything like what I think it possibly could be 🤔
𝗜𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘀𝗵𝗶𝘁
@@lovepet4565 yes more than likely but still they got to come up with a story to fit as many facts as possible in order to defend him. Going by everything so far I would give him a 1% chance of being innocent
Ok who's DNA was found that was not his on her. This is what his defense said???
How come court goes off? How do you watch the whole trial
Guilty
It must be difficult. Everyone has a defence but if defence know their client is guilty maybe they just go through the motions to earn their bread. Not beyond the realms of possibility. 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah, I thought the same thing!
@@amberparker91 Defense has to do a reasonable job or his conviction could be thrown out on appeal. 1st ground for appeal: ineffective cousel
This is a problem for the prosecution. None of the defendant's DNA on her after such a struggle? I'm not saying he's innocent, but maybe he brought Samantha in the car to someone else to kill her? If there's an accomplice, then this guy may get off and the other is out free.
There has got to be a special place in hell for defense attorneys! They literally sell their souls to the devil!!
Sometimes Defendants are innocent. There's a place in Hell for those who pass judgements on others without due cause.
@@faithhouses6725 This one aint!! 😉
Lady are you serious? 😂😂 Oh my goodness. I think she's pranking us/him. 😂
😂😂
Is there like a lecture series at every law school called “defending someone you know did it” ?! … like just talk at the jury really slow till they all fall asleep 😴
Right? It’s giving creepy sleep story… she’s saying a whole lotta nothing
Yea the class is called hocus pocus.
Imagine going on a date and the person talks this slowly...
That shouldn't be allowed to hide behind that mask. Smh disgusting
Really looking forward to this one!
same
Since when did getting a fair trial equate to trying to get the bad guy off? I’m old but somewhere winning became the goal.
GUILTY AS SIN!!!
He’s guilty. No excuses
Was this the whole defense opening statement? I feel like she bored the courthouse videographer so much that he just stopped filming and took a nap.

The lady lawyer is slow, boring, insecure and talks about the victim when she should be trying to "build"
a goody-goody image for her client. I would ask for a change of lawyer ASAP...
Although I agree the delivery is slow, and insecure, I don't think that equates to ineffective assistance of counsel.
Man, she is bad at public speaking!

Black judge, nine black folks on the jury and partial black counsel. If nothing else its safe to say that he will het a fair trial. If he did this he should definitely be held accountable. Smh
Jogger going no where.
She's kidding right?
His car is the one going around, his car is the one she is seen taking, and his car have have her blood everywhere, and he is not the one responsible for her death? What is the explanation for the obvious?
She said a lot of words but nothing of any substance.

People think this Defense lawyer is doing a terrible job but I disagree. She knows this dude is guilty, and she does not want to defend his sick ass so she's making sure she does a shitty job!! Good job lady!!
Hopefully no juror is falling for this B.S.
Not him to blame 😲😲😲😲 WHO THEM???
Make that guilty verdict for the prosecution woman....you're doing a great job..👍
He’s going down
She is not to blame . She could have checked to make sure that was her driver . This guy could have multiple personalities.
I think they should investigate the boyfriend more
I agree, they should.
He was 2 hours away. I'm sure they looked very closely at him as usually it's people close to us that commit these crimes.
I’m just seeing this one I’ll have to find out what happened .
He’s guilty but this lady is a horrible attorney

One week later she has to be saying to herself... " What the hell did I say last week?? I can't be this dumb"... She absolutely said nothing of value... She described every crime scene any police officer has investigated in a violent murder scene where a body has been moved....
Well this defense can only end well...6 and a 1/2 minutes in and even I want to convict this guy!
I’m so confused? Samantha was stabbed over 100 times and it’s been proven that she fought hard for her life! Poor girl was inebriated but still managed to fight back. To the point her full fingernails were broken off, knuckles bruised and bloodied, etc. So the defenses opening is stating that multiple DNA evidence was found on her fingernails, but none of the actual defendants? Also, he had not a single mark on him which would be impossible considering the amount she fought back. If these statements are true, sounds like he was just the driver and had others in his vehicle who did the actual killing. Either way, he need to come clean and tell the truth on what happened that night. If he didn’t kill her then he knows who did.
Ladies, I’m an Uber/Lyft driver in the Boston area. I do late night rides for this very exact reason. To make sure all the young college girls get home safely. I can’t tell you how many drunk people I’ve had in my backseat that have crashed out while driving. Happens all the time with these college kids + too much alcohol. Always double check the license plate of the vehicle that pulls up to confirm it’s the correct Uber ride. When there are a lot of people in one vicinity all requesting rides, a car can easily be mistaken. It’s happened plenty of times to me as well.
Is this the same attorney he wanted to fire because she wasn’t doing her job? And wanted to get one that his family had higher? I thinks she is? His goose is cooked. Guilty as hell. What a horrible opening statement. WTH? 😱😂
Whats the point of the mask when you don't use it
Wtf is this? The worse defense ever!

I didnt hear any defense at all, just an short to the point what happened. Whaaa
What? That’s the defense??? Weird. And what does the number 12 mean?
Had to be 2 people in this
This lady had to do a job, but the prosecutor crushed it. Tough
Awful way to die
He is guilty as sin and needs to spend the rest of his life in prison !
So a 👻 did it?🤔
WTF THIS LADY IS NUTS!!!
I’m not what her point is
defense: this man is a victim of an attempted car jacking. this man is a hero
So why was he seen trying to sell her phone and using her debit/credit card
@@reemee3701 I believe they must have been being sarcastic
@@reemee3701 they were being sarcastic
@@reemee3701 but if you just killed someone would you be that stupid as to use her credit cards
@@202triciae Yes. He tried to conceal his identity by completely covering up - watch the videos of the two attempted transactions which were recorded on CCTV
What was that? Lol
Yes, tf he is to blame for her death! Evidence points to him being the person who murdered her.
Let me click on this and look into his eyes 👀.. Yup!! He did it
Im a young black man and i think he's guilty
No DNA from the Defendant is found on the victim. But the victim apparently scratched her attacker to the point that her fingernails broke.
Two explanations:
The Defendant was the driver and picked up another person(s) who did the assault.
Or he wore gloves, a thick jacket, and some kind of face shield where his hands, arms, and face were protected.
But him trying to sell the victim's phone and him driving his car with blood inside it and his clothes covered with the victims blood.... puts this Defendant in the know.
Tf ? Yo! Homeboy is Toast!
Nobody else finds it strange, VERY strange, that his DNA was non-existent on her and he had ZERO scratches or other wounds that he most certainly should have had if she fought back. And I'm sure she fought like hell. I can't wait to hear their case, because I, unlike most of you, believe in innocent until PROVEN guilty. He probably is guilty. But I want to hear ALL of the evidence.
She also stated that none of his DNA was in the car. Now how can that be? She said not on the door or the steering wheel. Again how could that be? He scrubbed the car. Maybe there were two of them. No idea. That whole part is a bit suspect to me
This is what I am waiting to hear..
@@vickishack5139 I think the defence has blown their own argument up with the statement, none of his DNA was in the car. First he was arrested driving the car, therefore if his DNA was nowhere it proves you can be somewhere and not leave DNA if well covered. Secondly you can clean DNA away as we now know he did, or tried to, as thirdly, his DNA was in the car so that's a false statement anyway.
@@debbzev AND... they found her DNA on his beanie AND on his sock. So exactly! Oh and they did find it in his car. So whoever had the DNA job didn't read the evidence well lol. I would never make that comment just to have it blown to hell and back. Love watching this live!
@@vickishack5139 I know it's ridiculous making so much about DNA not being in one place when literally every other surface was covered. As for the fact one glove was found in the outside bin and the other in the laundry basket in the house, tied that together too. Then the defence had the cheek to say to his gf, you drove the car with blood in it, trying to insinuate that was out of order, which is the exact thing their client did. Good to know if we commit crimes and absolutely everything is clearly pointing at us, as long as DNA is not on one spot, it's fine, no worries. Ignore all the other evidence. Absolute madness.
May God help us all in this guilty until found innocent system.
The defense is actually making great points..... And I'm glad that none of you all in these comments aren't on the jury 🙄🤷🏾♂️💯✊🏾
What kind of lawyer defends a serial killer
What are you, stupid or something? What the hell jungle did you come from?
Guilty
