- LIVE TRIAL: SC v. Nathaniel Rowland Trial - Alleged Murder Of Samantha Josephson
Prosecution Witnesses:
Direct/Cross Exam of Agt. Dalilah Jazic-Cirencione - CSI
Nathaniel David Rowland, 27, stands trial for allegedly murdering Samantha Josephson, 21. Court is held in Richland County, South Carolina. You can watch in the player above.
Josephson, a student at the University of South Carolina, got into a vehicle that she believed was her Uber in the early morning of March 29, 2019, according to police. She was found dead in Clarendon County the next day, stabbed more than 30 times.
Rowland was pulled over in his Chevy Impala, and he ran, officials have said. Josephson’s phone and blood were in the car, investigators said. There were also cleaning supplies, with the child locks engaged, according to authorities.
“I can not fathom how someone could randomly select a person, a beautiful girl and steal her life away,” Samantha’s mother Marci Josephson said in a statement to the court in 2019, according to Live 5 News. “His actions were senseless, vile and unacceptable. It sickens us to think that his face was the last thing that my baby girl saw on this earth.”
Samantha’s parents started the #WhatsMyName campaign and is working to pass “Sami’s Law” in South Carolina, which would require ride-share drivers to be clearly identified before passengers enter the vehicle.
Rowland’s family has insisted on his innocence. He was passed out at a house party the night Josephson was abducted, his cousin Trey Elmore told South Carolina newspaper The State in an April 2019 report.
Rowland’s father Henry Rowland shared the second-hand story with WACH around the same time. In this account, Nathaniel Rowland woke up to find his keys were gone, but discovered his vehicle outside. The keys-and blood-were inside. His father said that if this story were true, then it was a mistake not to call 911. It was also a mistake to run during the traffic stop.

This case could've turned out very differently for Maria Howard if not for this amazingly thorough investigative team. Be careful who or WHAT you bring in your home around your babies ! 🙏
@Sabrina M. You are right about that.
You still do not know people, I'm sure he was Mr perfect infront of her and his family,which is why his mom insinuated he was a good person, but good people do not do these things.. no matter how long you know someone, you'll never know their ture intention, as scripture said, " The human heart is desperately wicked"
@@DMoses76ix7 Have you seen his social media photos though? He definitely looks like or tries to look tough in his pictures and his eyes look so cold. I would have known to stay away.
I just can’t believe he actually took this to trail! The defense attorney had no argument because they knew he was guilty the evidence was enough! They honestly had no choice but to repeat questions 😂😂😂
Right?! And for the defense to open statements by saying there was "zero" evidence against their client...do they all live on the twilight zone? Outrageous!
Even if they know hes guilty they stiil must present a vigorous for him. Crazy but true. Defense attys are always looking for appeal possibilities, hing juries and mistrials for thei client. 🙄
This guy did the worst job of "cleaning up." He must have thought he would never be caught, let alone so quickly.
He lives so rural
And like most narcissistic men thinks he smarter than everyone else
@@lovepet4565 and he dumps her body near where he lives. IDIOT EXTRAORDINAIRE. He has his coming. I can’t wait to hear the medical examiner’s testimony. Nail in his coffin. I’m ready.

His idiot self underestimated she’d be immediately missed, technology and that hunters still hunt in them there woods smh
He looked at all the evidence but once they got to the murder weapon, he looked down. So guilty
36:37: Nathaniel: "Psst. Hey, guy sitting next to me... Why do all these people think I'm a horrible person?"
Guy sitting next to Nathaniel: "Because you are a horrible person"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s killing over and over in his head EVERY time he looks at an attractive woman. You can tell he’s disassociating and splintering. He’s definitely either done this before or… Well I think he’s done it before.
Word
I don’t think he has simply because of how badly he implicated himself. If he had done this before I don’t think he’d be so bad at covering his tracks. I think he would go on to though. He has no soul. Did he even do anything sexual to her? Or did he simply kill her for the sake of killing someone? I’m not the biggest fan of the death penalty, but in cases like this, it seems appropriate.
I agree with you. She actually looks like Samantha.
I think even the judge thinks he’s done this before, when you listen to the sentencing phase x
Too disorganized and impulsive to be a serial murderer. Was there anything he owned or came in contact with in that South Carolina zip code that didn’t have the victims blood on it? And who would plan ahead to kill someone with dollar store multitool?
The defendant looks so heartless as if he has no worries in the world. I hope she haunts him every second of everyday.
So sorry the family had to look at all that evidence. It was hard for me to view it. This case is so sad. I hope the woman has a healthy happy baby. What a hard day for her being so far along in her pregnancy. My back hurts just looking at her. Saddest case ever
Whose having a baby?
He'd be better off changing his plea, he's not going to erase this evidence.
Cowards don’t change their plea.
I agree, he wasted everyone's time...it's obvious he's guilty.
HE'S GUILTY... 24:46 "I'M SO SCREWED."
32:25 "I'M SO SCREWED" part 2.
Big time!!!
He was so sloppy. He had these urges to kill but had probably never killed before. He is such a monster for what he did to a random girl just trying to get home.
Yep, that’s the comment I suggested in the last clip. I think he was/is a serial killer. But, his fist hunt was indeed sloppy. I am curious to know what he said to Samantha to get her into the vehicle. We will never know because he’s “innocent.”
I think he has done it before and got away, and that is why he got sloppy or who knows somewhere deep down he wanted to get caught either way he is a monster and should do minimal time in prison and be put to death
@@rbso6 She thought he was the uber. Sadly she got into the car herself, unknowingly she'd be walking to her death 😢
@@markdigiacinto2457 I think it too. He did the fake uber for a reason. And i think he done that before
Thanks MKA for your comment. Have been asking g myself why he did it, and you provide a clue. Urge to kill? It makes sense too, thinking about how sloppy he was and everything.
Plus he is in court acting a supervisor overseeing a trial, instead of someone fighting for his life.
Amazing work done by the state attorney's thay are awesome
Defense is ridiculously, unnecessarily objecting. They might as well stand up and say "We object to every part of this trial" so they can get it out of their system.
We object to the jury being shown the evidence that he murdered her… 🤔
Nate, probably thinking, dang, I'm going to be on America's dumbest criminals.🤣🤣🤣
So much evidence!! Yet again the defense just making statements of facts already told 🤦🏼♀️.
Its annoying when the defense keeps objecting as regards to the Fondation and the prosecutor and the witness has to repeat themself
Dummy had the nerve to have a hat that had cold blooded on it
Nate trying to look like an intelligent business executive with his legal pad and multi coloured sticky notes...
He's preparing for his release.
He might spend 5 years. Being a good boi, the prisons will soon be overpopulated by monsters that killed more than 1 person. He will be free soon
Seriously!!!! That gets me every time!!
It drives me crazy that she doesn't ask questions except Right? It's lazy/bad lawyering.
It’s cross so it’s yes and no answers.
@@tory5534 I KNOW THAT but she can ask questions, not just make statements.
she has nothing important to add but still has to seem as if she is working hard on this pathetic defense.
@@carriesickler4543 Ya. There's no defense. He's guilty as sin and his ex pretty much sunk him singlehandedly.
She’s a new attorney.
Can't see this being his one and only victim.
That guy - the way he looks at all the women on the legal teams -- it's creepy! He looks as if he'd like to do something evil to them. He is deranged.
Oh, he would have done something to them if he had the chance - esp the blonde on his team
I was thinking the same
He’s in the same class of evil as Lonnie David Franklin Jr. AKA “the grim sleeper”. You just know by observing him. He emits evil. How people cannot detect that kind of evil is beyond me. Evil incarnate. During trial and sentencing I kept wishing the judge would make him remove his mask so that he could not hide behind it. There was a point in trial he was uttering things under the mask and I wanted to know what that was.
And he's cold blooded like his cap read.
So funny watching the looks of the witnesses when the defense gets up and just goes over every little thing she possibly can to well waste time!! Unbelievable.
Just curious, why do they use paper bags instead of plastic bags?
Plastic promotes growth of mold and degrades evidence / DNA
I’ve never seen so much evidence in any other trial!!
Dude definitely did not cover his tracks very good he left alot of clues behind he left a trail a blind man could find
Fr!👍
He didn’t even try to cover anything, he was driving around in the same car, with the same clothes, didn’t even shower before go back to see his girlfriend or clean the car and all the evidences was on his girlfriend’s backyard. Stupid.
Right dummy
He was trying to frame Maria. He put blood all over her home, let her drive his car after the murder and then dumped the evidence at her crib.
That look she gave him at 39.21 though! We know he’s sitting over there cause the owner of the cell phone store pointed him out in that direction.
I can't believe. He just one night went out and looked for someone to kidnap and murder in such a malicious manner. I can't write all that brought me to this thought it would take a lot but one has to wonder has he ever done this before, got away with it and decided to do this again.I know there's a 1st time for everything. But somehow I get a strong idea or hunch or feeling, whatever one wants to call it, that this might not be the 1st time he's done something like this. I think there's a good possibility that he may have gotten away with the 1st or 2nd whichever, and who knows if this is the 1st. I can't go into it as I wrote, but its just that with what I've learned in my lifetime, it just doesn't seem like his very 1st and only murder. I know I may be wrong and hopefully I am, but I am happy about one thing, whether or not it's the 1st or not, I'm so glad he was caught.
I believe it’s his first murder because it was so sloppy. But I read, and I didn’t research it just going off what I read, that he kidnapped another girl but she got away. But that may be wrong.
Me too. He's too cool for a 1st time killer
said the same thing...i also wonder if he did this alone...he frequented that area often, referred to it as "lit" as indicated by his former girlfriend - which may mean a good place to find victims...
I despise the way the defense attorney blonde moves her bony hands whilst talking in a sarcastic snarky tone
she is hot
@@computeraidedyami so not
I hate how she always has her stringy hair over one shoulder
@@LawnBunny777 yes. she looks so unprofessional with that mess of hair.
@@LawnBunny777 Yes! That hair is a hot mess!
The way he's holding that pen at 39:26.... He looks like he's ready to stab everybody in that courtroom. 😢 HOW CAN HE BE SO CALM RIGHT NOW??!!?? I know he's remembering every thing he did to her and now sees she had a family and so many friends who loved her! Smdh at how vicious, quick and animalistic he was when stabbing her but can sit here full of narcissism.
The defense attorney needs to seat down, she's just confirming everything the defended did.
Right! What kind of defence is this? She's very annoying!
Sit down. And Defendant. Not defended. 🙄
@@dcher3868 YEAH!😀🤭🤪
I always go into these very in the middle. At first I thought the DNA evidence was pretty huge for the defense, but the girlfriends testimony was pretty damning along with him trying to get into her bank account. Can’t really explain that LOL
Same. I try to stay unbiased, always remembering that sometimes the police do shoddy work and laser focus in on one defendant. But, even without DNA, the state's case seems pretty strong.
@@girlfromsouth214 that’s exactly how you should feel. People are way too quick to assume people are guilty, pray to God you never have your life in the hands of a jury of your “peers”
@@Mason-dq7cf Exactly!!
How about when the cops pulled him over, the massive amount of the dead woman’s blood in the back seat, her bloody footprints on the windows, her keys in the side door, and her phone between the console and seat…..all on cop cam
@@amazingsupergirl7125 so true. Like y would you ride around with that car like that… but I’m glad he did so he could be caught. I don’t know any of these people, but my heart goes out to Sami, her family, and friends.
Shes a pretty and smart young
Mother to be!
I love seeing this !
I will admit, I have a bit of a girl crush 😍 And I'm straight lol
I kno u ain't talkin' bout da snagga-tooth tiger, r u f_ _ k_ n blind
1:04:48 as she’s showing the murder weapon, he writes on the sticky note “quit fidgeting”
Wow! Good eye 👁
Great Catch!
I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SIT THERE AND SEE AND HEAR ALL EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM, ID BE A MESS, HE HAS NOT GUILT
I thought a toboggan was a sled. 😩😩😩😩 Jesus, I hope Maria moved.
He is probably thinking, she looks like Samantha.
I looked and only saw one article, but she resembles her, to me. 😔
I was thinking the same thing. How ironic a special agent that collected evidence looks like the girl he murdered
Defence, do you have any questions with substance?
The rustle of evidence bags is the best ASMR!
I said the same thing to myself!
It's horrible! It sound like the bags have their own lapel mikes.
No wonder it took the jury under 2 hours to convict the evidence is overwhelming
What is so scary is that he was back at five points the NEXT NIGHT, probably was going to abduct again
I don't know about that, while he did have a woman in the car when arrested, I don't think he had a weapon in his car.
@Tricia R. Perhaps, thank goodness he was arrested.
@Tricia R. that was his gf
Most definitely.
@@trishmccarthydavis3425 yep she is probably lucky the police stopped him at that time because she might have been the next victim the police probably saved her life we will never know how close she came to being his next victim
The clothes are like New why would you disregard them, the only reason because they had Samantha's blood on them.
The defense is literally repeating everything the witness said to the state. Why even bother.
The evidence is so overwhelming I don't understand his attorneys actions not to file a plea.
why would they offer a plea with so much evidence.
@@brrraaak2 To save time and end the trial. They can always reject the plea if the plea isn't as long as they want.
Plea isn’t as effective in a case like this. Prosecution wanted to take it to trial so the jury can convict him and impose the harshest sentence. A plea often results in less penalty overall
You can see his wheels spinning as he thought he’d been completely covered
Isn't it interesting how the defendant and defense attorney talk continually instead of paying attention to the evidence being presented. Is it that the defendant is trying not to be aware of all the forensic evidence against him or is it part of the defense strategy to be diverting the jurors attention away from the evidence and yo whsr is going on at the defense table.
I think both.
FACT beloveved!!
Idk but every case I’ve seen where a man killed a woman, there’s a female defense attorney sitting next to him whispering all the time. It doesn’t make me feel better about him. It only reminds me how she sold her soul to the devil.
I think IMO it's his first time because he was not good at making sure there was no evidence left behind. He left blood behind as well as sheet's, clothes, cleaning supplies. This should of NEVER happened. When his Ex was asking him why blood in the car and he said mind your business, I'm glad he didn't take her out and kill her to knowing she knew he did something. I'm glad she got to testify against him. He is so dumb but he would have killed again I believe. I hope he enjoys Prison life. 3 meals and a cot, phone calls that's more than Samantha gets. RIP Beautiful Samantha your an Angel.
Everybody who took part in this case (besides the defense, obviously) has done an incredible job! I believe justice was 100% served in this case. Every time the defense crosses I think to myself.. where is this going. All they do is reiterate the facts already told. I still don't understand what their defense even was. Tbh idk why they took his case in the first place this was a clear-cut case. Even a juror said they felt no push back from the defense idk if they are public defenders or hired lawyers but they did nothing at all but yell object for no reason and repeat facts. 🙄 Anyways, the prosecution's handling of this case was just flawless! Great job. 👍
Yeah he didn’t give the defense much to work with. The evidence was overwhelming. Idk why he took it to trial and put the family through this 😢
@@SHall-xk1tn I agree. 100%
The defense was objecting to all the evidence
The Defense attorney is annoying simply clarifying the witnesses statements rather than giving a real cross examination.
She can't badger the witness. The witness has been accepted as an expert, so she can't question her credentials. What would you have the attorney do?
@@trishmccarthydavis3425 Demonstrate why the jury should have reasonable doubt. This can be done without badgering
@@ButterCookie1984 What precisely would you have her ask?
Her clients' defense is, " It wasn't me, I wasn't there." What question would you have her ask, that would contribute to his flimsy defense. I don't understand what you want her to do.
@@trishmccarthydavis3425 Im actually on the Defense's side. But nothing in particular. Just demonstrate some reasonable doubt. Luckily the other attorney did with the dna exclusions
I wonder what he's writing on the pink sticky notes? 🤔
Green stringy haired attorney sounds so unintelligent with her questions, going absolutely NO where!!!
Kudos to this csi she is professional without being boring
No overhead ?
So everyone can see better!?
Its disgusting how he thought he could get away with murdering this beautiful girl! Rest in peace 🕊️ 🙏. i hate that he put his hands all over her its disgusting 🤢
Naw this was his first time killing, you can tell by the care less way he got rid of the evidence. He's got to be one of the dumbest criminals that only a mother can love I have ever seen. You murder an innocent woman then go back to the house and get rid of the evidence. You leave all the blood in the car when going to pick up your girlfriend for work. No this is obviously his first time and good thing cuz had he not been caught he would have gotten better at it and became the worst monster ever lived.
36 minutes in and already seven sets of commercials, cheers!!
I haven't seen any, pay for premium ya cheap skate.
He did not have a motive evil people don't have to have a motive
I sincerely think this defense attorney is low key working for the prosecution! 😂
Lol I was thinking the same. It’s obvious they are pretending to try...they knew they were going to loose lol
I hate thinking of how scared Samantha was 😔 So senseless…so glad justice was served!
That footprint she put on the window is heartbreaking 💔. She fought hard .
Is the defence attorney just basically going through what has already been stated as some attempt to try to get it in the juries mind that the professionals agree with what she’s saying? That seems daft but I can’t understand what her reason is otherwise. Any clue? It just seems bizarre.
I think I there is a fine line in being able to put out a plausible defense and keeping the defendant believable. When there is such overwhelming and compelling evidence there just isn’t much anyone can do.
The person cleaning up must of been under the influence, hence all the evidence
He probably had used some of the drugs as he was cleaning.
Boat loads of evidence . This fool had a girlfriend with a kid. Good thing he was caught . Can't be his only murder.
This brutality is something a meth head would do
Pot head.
Give him the chair
When Defense has NOTHING they always go after the LE etc for not doing a thorough job. It’s a pattern.
The only way to get away with this was to report the car stolen and torch it.
Have anyone figured out what his motive was?
I’m guessing MONEY. He had a few months before KIDNAPPED AND ROBBED A GIRL. The kidnapping and robbery charges were DROPPED AND HE WAS charged with stealing stolen property
@@sallystar1003 Probably right.
Robbery . robbery gone wrong
Money to pay his two cell phone bills. Smh?
I understand that the defendant's was scared to report him . But to have your daughter surrounded by blood.. and continue to ride in his vehicle knowing there's blood is crazy..
This is the most messy murder cover-up I've ever seen. How many mistakes can one man make? I guess he didn't anticipate her putting up that much of a fight. He would have been better off just letting her go instead of killing her. Had he done that, he wouldn't have had so much blood in his car and could have laid low till the whole thing blew over or he could have skipped town... glad he's stupid though. He's a budding serial killer for sure.
He's no kind serial killer, he could NEVER be one. He got caught first of all and it was only one victim. 2nd he left evidence everywhere to get caught. Smdh!
@@twinky511 I meant he could definitely have come a serial killer. She was obviously fighting back, but he kept stabbing her over and over again in the back, neck, legs, and head. Imagine yourself tearing into someone's flesh for no reason whatsoever... the chances for you being a psychopathic killer are high af
Hubris
Who knows if he's killed before ? I believe he has !!!!!
@@kathyboyce3277 The amount of mistakes he made? Nah... this has to have been his first lol.
Defense tactic is to show what a wonderful job the tech's did and then say, "But they didn't find any of the defendant's hair or DNA, etc." But she frorgets that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I am sure prosecution is figuring this out...
I’d like to know what the attorney and murderer are saying to each other…
..... and what he keeps writing!
47:45 first time ever seeing BOTH of the killer's hands out from under the table...
How stupid is this guy.. he cleans the car up and throws everything in his girlfriends backyard.. he should of just put the body there too.
How blind is Maria? Hair and blood covered glove in my laundry basket?? She was doing more than smoking.
What a belt buckle on that prosecutor in the blue
Wow. How interesting are you?
@@cindynolan77 I notice things. Therefore by nature I'm more interesting..
WOW!
Testimony starts at 8:45
I don't think this guy will last in jail very long
Did this bloke have no place of his own .
Loser!!
He was using her and her place.
Ms Delila, when handling State's evidence, opening separate exhibits and handling separate items. PLEASE REGLOVE each time as to not contaminate evidence.
The evidence has already been processed 🤗
@@polepotnoodle4817 yes. True. But what if there is a new development and some of the evidence needs to be examined and tested. It doesn't need to be cross contaminated.
I didn’t even understand why they needed to open the sealed evidence
Are they showing the jury?
The blond Attorney, did she actually graduate Law School?
The Judge seems annoyed. This college grad was accepted to law school. How horrific for her parents. But the one rule is to never be alone. Then Nate's parents are in disbelief. How could this be? No Nate DNA on Josephson says Defense.
Was his dna at the murder site?
@@ceruleanc505yeah it was all over him.. he was the crime scene 🤔
Wow, thumbs up for super hot investigators!
She reminds me of Ali McGraw…beautiful.
"Super hot" is definitely a stretch.
Wonder if Maria howard met him online
Great catch
Poor girl
She said she met him at a club in Five Points and they knew each other for a while. Then they lost contact for a while and a few weeks before the murder they met up again when he was going through the drive thru at the McDonald's she worked at and started dating again.
Wtf? Why are you injecting your own negative feelings? It was CLEARLY stated in testimony how they met. Geezus Pete some people
Big bad Nate wears a size 8 shoe 😆
I thought the same. 🤣🤣 It actually makes sense.
😅
Have they mentioned how she ended up in his car? Did he lure her in or did she just completely think he was her Uber and he was surprised when she opened his door and got into his vehicle?
Well the defense is trying to convey it’s not him in the car and someone else used his car, so I don’t think he’ll ever talk about that pov of her entering the car. He’s not supposed to know anything about that
@@Nallisn Thanks for your response. Do we know what the motive is? I’m behind on the videos. But very curious as to the motive.
She thought it was her Uber. She was looking down at her phone when she got in.
@Tricia R. it’s the first video that was shown when the case came out. It’s been on loop every time the news talks about it. I’m sure you can google the video of her getting in his car
Tricia R. She was standing alone in front of a Bar,I believe he was Stopped at a light right next to her. She looked like she was waiting for a Uber,he took advantage of a very vulnerable person. He pulled right into a spot in front of the Bar,she hopped in the Car with zero hesitation and off they went.
I wish they would state who's blood or dna instead of just suspected blood
How is his ex not being charged with anything ?
What would she be charged with?
State exhibit 6,492…
People say he was sloppy first timer. I think he was a bold cocky serial killer who became sloppy over time.
I believe so too; I wonder if the detective looked into other murders that have been unsolved ijs
i think he's done it more then once, he just got sloppy this time, lazy and got caught
1:13:54 Big yawn from defendant. He looked like he was trying to stay awake for a while. I know if I was innocent and in that chair I would be $hittin tacks!
No kidding! Are we boring you? This is your life!
He has been yawning the whole time
He must have had a late night staring at his cell wall
Too bad we can't see because the lady in blue is standing in front of the camera
He had gloves
Now the woman defense attorney is playing games
This is very damning, smfh
He got caught this is why he is so shocked he covered up the rest You are looking at a serial killer here people he has definitely done this before. I believe he has used his car as an acting uber before. So scary
Maybe I missed it but is Maria’s kid his?
Noo, Maria only dated him for about 3 weeks before he killedSamantha.
No
Wonder how many women he killed? A lot of clothes bloody in her trash so he was cleaning it out and that’s why he was dating her. Needed a convenient place to get rid of his evidence ll of it. Cause he only had three PCs of clothing she said that were bloody that she noticed.
States attorney you aren’t suppose to tear the tapes
The girlfriend knew ahead of time what he was planning. Why didn’t she tell sooner? She knew and didn’t care bc she was expecting a come up! Sad asf
Nathaniel attorney is picking holes when the evidence is so overwhelming.
