      THE JUDGE made the theater!!!
      Temporized the facts, when you know it was RACIAL HATE CRIME!!!
      We constantly see crimes involving BLACK MEN IN THE USA killing and/or raping WHITE WOMEN IN THE USA!!!
      This common form of action leads everyone to think that BLACK MEN IN THE USA want to target WHITE MEN IN THE USA out of HATE AND ENVY!!!
      If TH-cam considers that telling the truth is a CRIME OF BULLYING or VIRTUAL HARASSMENT!!!
      So, why are such crimes commonplace???
      You can investigate!!!

      A judge like that is called a hang-em judge. They are all over the country. The more judges hang (give extreme sentences) the more people become convicted. I'm not saying recidivism or let out of jail early due to overcrowding...I'm saying that now-a-days we are seeing too many heinous crimes and too many people being sent away.

    From the moment I heard of the murder of 21 year old Samantha Josephson my heart broke. My daughter is the same age and I can't even fathom to imagine the excruciating trauma, pain and suffering this young woman had to endure at the hands of this monster. I respect and commend Judge Newman for the way he honestly and candidly spoke to the accused during his sentencing. When asked if he had any words, Mr. Rowland had the opportunity to come clean yet he arrogantly and pridefully tried to justify himself. The diachotomy of good vrs. evil. In the end justice prevailed. It's not over for Mr. Rowland....for the est of his living days he will be caged and will have to face evil head on and hopefully this once 'good' child will evolve into a 'good' man and ask God and Samatha's family for forgiveness.
    To the Josephson family, the spirit of your beautiful daughter will live on. She will never be forgotten!! ❤
    Dear Heavenly Father,
    You have promised that you are near to the broken-hearted. May the Josephson family find comfort as they remember the happy memories they shared with their beloved Samantha. May your peace surround them and may they sense your arms of love holding them today, tomorrow and forever. 🙏🏼
    Amen

      Lawyers almost always know when their client is guilty, and that is in the large majority of actual trials.
      Lawyers should not and rarely do feel guilty for skillfully representing a guilty client. That is their job and they are doing it for you, not for the guilty. What I mean by that is that is that you might be falsely accused one day. If that happens, your lawyer will do her or his best to defend you rather than judging you before the jury does. Skilled defense lawyers help ensure that justice is done. When the accused is zealously defended but still found guilty, we can have a high degree of confidence in that verdict. In fact, when innocent people are wrongly convicted it is almost always due to inept defense lawyers.

      I don't think life in prison getting 3 meals a day, a TV in his cell and hanging with his homies in the yard is anywhere close to justice. Now the tax payers have the burden of taking care of his crime for the rest of his life. He still gets to live and grow old while brutally murdered someone. That's not justice.

    This actually feels like the kind of man you want to have as a judge.

    My heart aches for Samantha's family. They also received a life sentence -- of grief and loss.

    “Sentencing in this case is not difficult, sentencing in this case is EASY…” Throw his ass away!
