- Prosecutor Daniel Goldberg said the killing of Samantha Josephson was "cold, it was malicious, and it was intentional.”

They stopped a serial killer here, in his tracks.
Yesss!!! He would of liked AGAIN!
Yes they have.
LITERALLY❗👍
In 3 days!!!! Thatsgottabe a record or something lol - that or the Stephen McDaniels case wherehey found her body while he was being interviewed by the news!
And he's trying to play cool because he thinks he can manipulate his way out of the situation.
The fact that this man decided to go to trial with THIS MUCH evidence stacked against him astounds me.
It confirms his narcissism. It’s truly a mental illness. Not one that should get him out of prison though. Just a degeneracy of the mind lol. The Dunning Kruger effect.
He wanted attention
guilty as sin and have the nerve to tell the judge it wasn't him a devil dishonesty cold blooded killer.hope he rots in jail.cell phone evidence atm camera excellent job prosecution
I'm astounded his momma is in denial 🤦. It's pretty clear he murdered Samantha.😣
They took the death penalty off the table. What did he have to lose? There was no plea bargain that would’ve allowed this animal back on the streets.
After looking at the way he was driving around after the bars closed looking for a victim. I think they should check their unsolved cases. I don’t think it was his first time.
I was thinking that. Definitely not his first
If he's done it before, they would've gotten a DNA hit on any unsolved cases that contain his DNA, since his DNA has been put into the data base upon processing him after his arrest.
Agree
I just want to know why. To what purpose?
Seems like she told him she was waiting for an Uber though
The answer he gives when she asks about the blood is scary. " Mind your business!!!"
She must thank God she is still alive. He would have killed her.
By your own logic shouldn’t she have been first?
@@dayvonsavage315
Read her comment again. Slowly.
I agree.
@@DNSMLT ~I was gunna say the exact same thing😏
Right
Less than 2 hours- GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES! Rest in peace Samantha
The jury had taken a hour and a half for a lunch break.
@@BarryJSilvaand then sat around and bs'd for a half hour.
RIP SAMANTHA. They got him!!!
It ain't about race or gender..this is just senseless!! Reminds me of the 60's when black people got kidnapped at night and hung. Just crazy
@@iamweno3858 i agree its not about the color of his skin but the color of his clothes. I mean PINK with BLACK TIE?!? Thats should be a crime itself. 😫
@@erlindaalba1682 no its bot about his color but he killed her because of her color
@@americanangel6760 he killed her because he’s a serial killer not bout race at all
@@americanangel6760 he killed her because he saw the opportunity. Stop making it about race.
The fact that his beanie said “cold blooded” on it gave me chills. What a monster.
Omg you can see it in his face ' there is not a single ounce of remorse or recognition of just how horrible a act he has committed ,just straight up evil
Yep
right? Icey cold, remorseless expression. Actually gives me the creeps how little emotion he shows and ever AFTER being PROVEN to be guilty after the jury decided his fate, he still had the nerve to say he wasn't sorry because he is innocent. Actual psychopath.
That dude is a monster
Making it home safe every night is a bigger blessing than we appreciate!!! Thank you God 🙏🏽 RIP beautiful 💙
I'm gonna triple check my ubers
Yes always double check uber driver registration before getting in car matches with the app. Don't go in random ones. I always tell my work colleagues I'm getting uber or my boyfriend too.
I'm just confused, doesn't the company give out the car registration plate number to you when you're booking an Uber? I'm not from the states so idk if it's the same as here or not
Because in my country, every uber requires a blue back bumper, the 'uber" sticker all across the back window
And the name and photo of the driver is given to the passenger booking along with the car description and the licence plate number
@@sweetheartangel2630 I always leave with friends as well. We never leave alone.
@@ritikadatta6078 you right they do that in uk
This prosecutor is something else I lost it when he circled guilty. He really took this case personal he did a great job.
Yeah he tied it all together well.
Brilliant indeed 👏
And the masked faces at defense table wondering what he was writing made it all the better and they had to know their client was hit lol. That’s probably one of best closing arguments I’ve seen. The other prosecutor that did the opening was brilliant. South Carolina definitely put their best in that courtroom to get justice for Samantha and succeed thankfully. RIP and bless her family and friends.
This monster is truly heartless, sitting in the back drinking water like he's in a picnic. He shows to emotion at all. I feel for that girl who is not going back home to her parents. Monsters like him should NOT be on the loose.
@Mr.speaker man Wow!

Our tax money will now pay for him to have warm showers, full meals, shelter, a bed, and medical treatment…for life.
@@ivywalker8674" nice" is a brand name for food products at "Walgreens" lol
I love how his mom keeps insisting he's innocent, the judge asked how she knows that, and she said because that's not how I raised him! Even good parents can raise psychopaths. Also, a mother that is in such strong denial after all the overwhelming evidence unfortunately probably babied him, and kept a, "My baby can do bo wrong." attitude, even when he was probably shearing the wings off flies, after offing the family cat. Denial dooms our children to a life of entitlement and pain (for others).
This 🙌🏾! Correction and discipline of our children teaches them boundaries and how to incorporate in society as a productive citizen. It was never meant to torment them. I agree 100% with you, he seems spoilt.
@@JesiWhyte I don't murder people I was raised right. I just hurt myself. I'm w pile of junk drug addict
She didn't raise him. Rap music did
"I love how his mom keeps insisting he's innocent, the judge asked how she knows that, and she said because that's not how I raised him! Even good PARENTS can raise psychopaths." -That's the problem... where's the dad? By this I mean... where was the connection? There is always a disconnect with the father, in these cases.
@@_reki did you not read my ENTIRE statement??
This prosecutor didn't miss a beat in closing arguments, he reminded me of Mr. Juan Martinez in the Jodie Arias case. Bravo to you sir.
Juan deserved the same outcome though.
He was excellent!!!!! I'm glad SC victims have him on their side.
When you consider the brutality and ferocity of the crime I doubt it's his first time.
I think it likely was his first time. This is not a sophisticated criminal, and any competent police enquiry would have tracked him down - there was no way he was getting away with this. His DNA hasn't matched any unsolved case, and he hasn't be accused of any additional crimes.
Apparently he sold some things to a pawn shop that were stolen from another kidnapping that didn’t result in murder. There was another man with him selling things.
Man these law enforcement, prosecutors do an amazing job putting all the pieces together to bring the victims some justice
Most of the time no.
His eyes start fluttering when he gets uncomfortable.
He was the best for the closing argument! He is wonderful.
This is the best closing argument I’ve ever seen.. I’ve seen dozens. Presentation is great.
Haha helps to have an idiot defendant who had five brain cells and fried up 2 of them before he decided to become a monster
This prosecutor reminds me of Juan Martinez in the Jodi Arias trial , this prosecutor did an OUTSTANDING job!!!! 🙏
He dragged it on , Way to long, totally unnecessary to drag it out for that long, just give and emphasise the main points of evidence and the proof of which there was plenty, thats it.
@@tradeladder146 how many points out of ten? 🤔
I mean, he literally had this guy nailed to the wall with evidence lol but he did present well
He really didn’t think he would get caught! This was going to be his first of many killings. He was a serial killer in the making!!!
Totally agree!
Agreed he absolutely 💯thought he got away with this one..
I trying to figure out why dis3 he kill her
Not his first !
I totally agree!! Thank god and the new system for stopping killers at their first victim at least 🙏🏾
I am extremely grateful for all the times God has saved my life. All the times I got into strangers cars, went into strangers houses, walked through alley’s & dark streets drunk and by myself. I’m extremely grateful to be alive! 🙏🏾 this girl DID NOT deserve that! AT ALL! May she be resting next to Jesus Christ.
I agree totally with u cause I did it to could have been me!!!!
Amen !!
Amen, just don’t do it again 😊
Aint that the truth, I say this to myself Grace and Mercy is the only reason I am here! God so fit to protect and preserve my life him not for me! I say this every day not just from rides but for every aspect of my being when I look back over my life God saw fit to save me!
John 5;28,29 and Acts 24:15 both of these scriptures speak of a resurrection, a promise from a God who cannot lie Titus 1:2
Can’t believe it!! This man is a monster
Finally JUSTICE IS SERVED, AT LEAST THIS MONSTER IS BEHIND BARS FOR LIFE💯Prayers of Comforts to the family's all involved 🙏
@@lssprings5304 what did he do?
@@RachelLovesJesus1111 I Love Jesus too
He is.
This man is not only a monster, but a Demon entered his vessel (body). If you don’t have the Holy Spirit and do what is righteous. Then a Devil can take hold of your body.
I don’t care what anyone says, his closing argument presentation was on point and very powerful! Thorough yet concise! One of the best I’ve seen and I watch a lot of court cases. Good job on this prosecutor!! 👏🏼 and he did something with that when he circle that word guilty. That was clever. 😂
Sure was!!!!
He sure was.
🎯 great job counselor

At what time in the video did he circle guilty?
If Matthew Mcconaughey & Edward Norton had a son, this prosecutor would be him
🤣🤣🤣
Omg.. 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹.. Right on point lmfao 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
Why Norton im not familiar what did he do I no Mathew time to kill but Norton im not sure
@@debrabanks2594 I think he just looks like Norton.
He's excellent though. Gives me hope for other victims that someone so articulate can bring justice to victims. I just felt so sorry for her parents.... I don't know if I could get through this.
Samantha could literally be any of us. I just heard about this story, incredibly sad. I'm happy justice has been served and her poor soul will be able to rest. I wish her family all the strength in this world. IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANY OF US!
This is why our 2nd amendment is so God damn important! If she had a concealed weapon she probably could have saved her life!
@@TerminalM193 lol, bro we cant have every girl scared for her life and have a gun on her. Think normally. Less trump
@@markusdowney5457 has absolutely nothing to do with Trump.... Didn't even vote for the man. Absolutely nothing to be scared of with proper conceal carry and not all have to do such a thing. Check this fine statistic if you don't believe but the most law abiding citizens in the entire country are citizens that carry a ccw permit. All the way from jaywalking to homicide, ccw permit holders commit the least amount of crimes and the safest states in the entire country are states that don't restrict 2A laws from law abiding citizens.... Absolutely nothing to be scared about. It makes me sick seeing her on that corner by herself in that footage knowing that once she's in that car she's got absolutely no way of properly defending herself from that MONSTER.
@@markusdowney5457 hard to be scared for your life if you have a firearm and situational awareness... I don't like the "this could have been any of us" that phrase more applies to like the shooting that happened at the King Soopers in Boulder. This case is yet another case of "don't go stupid places with stupid people at stupid times doing stupid things"... I hate to say it but there were several fatal flaws here, she was alone at the worst possible time of night (nothing good happens between 2-5am), didn't make sure she was getting in the right car, and if you are a petite female and are going to be out in the middle of the night getting into strangers cars you should absolutely be sober and carrying a firearm that you damn well know how to use.
@@markusdowney5457 there is no justice short of two .45 ACP slugs to the dome piece for this guy... Slower would be better but yada yada mercy and all that.
That prosecutor executed the closing argument , round of applause for you Sir!!! That ' Cold Blooded' beanie slammed down at the end .. gave me goose bumps 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This gentleman did an astounding job of summation. Absolutely riveting!
Yes I held on to every word he said!! Great job counselor 👍
And at the end he had the nerve to say he was innocent, when so many things pointed all to him , how on earth could he do this. Poor Sammy R.I.P my dear girl, so sad.
I agree. He was excellent.
I went out-of-state for college and I think about those times where I could have been in danger~taking taxi cabs alone and getting a ride from a stranger. During that time, I was so naive to the dangers of the world. Samantha did not deserve this. The demon Nathaniel was in search of a victim, he’s probably done this before and jumped at what he thought was an opportunity to harm a young college student. I despise him and what he did to her and I’m glad he was caught. Are there any other unsolved murders he is linked to? I hope police look into this.
The way he executed it raises the possibility of past crimes! Horrific!
God protected you, my God thank him!
@@alrettatolbert9212 I thank God everyday and I even wrote and published a book about my life experiences and how God saved me.
@JSB Maybe you have not gotten to know Jesus for yourself, maybe you have the same way of thinking, that He allows bad things to happen to good people. Whatever your reason for feeling the way that you do seems like a personal issue. I know Jesus Christ for myself and I know what he has done for me and for countless others who trust and believe in Him.
God gives us all free will and this means that we all have the free will to make decisions on our own, whether those decisions are good or bad. Some use their free will to do bad things and this is why bad things tend to happen and they also happen to good people too. It is not because Jesus does not love us, because He loves us all however, He does not like the sin.
I use to have issues with forgiving. I didn’t understand why people go out their way to hurt others, especially those who have never done wrong to them. I had a lot of hurt and anger towards those people. It was days before my divorce hearing and my supervisor at work who is a Licensed Therapist and also has her own private practice in Marriage and Family Therapy, urged me to take time off from work, but wanted me to read a book before my court date, which was in a few short days. The book that she gave me, I will never forget, I was sitting in her office and she told me that as I’m reading the book, I am gonna cry, I may even become upset at the details of what happens in the book. I didn’t think that a book would help heal my heart from what I had endured in my marriage and in my life. One thing I will say is that during my marriage, I was rushed to the hospital and although I had been diagnosed with a hereditary illness while there, doctors told me that I had high levels of poison in my blood. I’m saying this to say I went through a lot. At first, I didn’t want to believe the doctors. Can you believe that, I did not want to believe the doctors? The emergency room doctor asked if I believed someone was harming me. Fast forward back to this book. I did not believe that a book could help me. She told me to just take the book and read it before my divorce hearing. Something compelled me later that night to read this book. As I began reading, I began to cry uncontrollably. Honestly, I cried throughout the entire book, it brought up so much emotion. I even threw the book when it suggested that the man in the book should forgive the person who changed his family’s life in the worst way. My supervisor did tell me it would be a normal reaction because she did the same, the first time she read this book. I remember saying, I would not forgive this guy either for what he did to this family in the book. Who could forgive something like that? Later that night and for the next two days, I would read some more, even after I said I wouldn’t. When my supervisor said I would cry, I may even throw the book from being absolutely disgusted, I sure did. This is why it took me three days to read it all. At first, it was overwhelming and too much to handle. It brought back memories, bad memories even from my childhood traumas. I have a better understanding of how God works.
Often times, we don’t understand The Why. Why are bad things happening to good people? why do I have to forgive someone who has hurt and harmed me? It helped me so much towards my road of forgiveness. Some years later, they came out with the movie for this particular book. The movie was great, but not as detailed as the book. I’m sure if it was, the movie would have been more lengthy. A great movie though. The book was called, “THE SHACK.”
Over the years, I wrote and published a book about my life. To be honest, this was a book I did not want to write, but it helped me once I finally did, to forgive the people who hurt me and to let go of the past. It is a process though and I do get flashbacks of what I went through. My book is called, “A Jealous Person Will Kill You, Literally!” My book was more for me. Many of the things that I detailed, I didn’t want people to know about. I cried a lot writing my own book. Even after my book was completed, I thought about deleting some of the things I talked about, before sending it to the publishing company, because it was too hurtful and I did not want anyone to know these things and/or the details. I did not delete anything. Maybe something in my book may help someone else. I didn’t just write my book. I waited years, I tried to fight the urge to write it. I made excuses on why I could not write my book. Every excuse I used, God removed them. Again, it was a painful process and a story behind it. It was just a feeling that came over me to just leave it in my book.
When I moved back home to California years after my divorce, that is a whole story in itself Part 2. I met Jesus Christ face~to~face in the Summer of 2015. All I will say is that believing and forgiving can be a process in itself and it may not come overnight, or for many years. When I say that you have to get to know Jesus Christ for yourself, this is what I mean. The book The Shack became my first initial understanding of healing.
I know this is a lot and you may not read all of this, but it is the truth, my truth. The Author of the book, “The Shack,” he says that these are his real life events. Some may not believe that they are, but I do because of my own experiences.
I do recall that my former father~in~law was an atheist all his life. He died two years ago, he was in his mid 90’s and he found Christ before his death. Do not ask me how, I don’t know any of the details, I just recall that he did.
@@Iridescent602 congratulations & thanks for sharing. I will check out the book.
As a USC mom when this happened, thank you to the police in both counties, the forensic experts, the prosecution for bringing justice to Samantha. I always think of her and her family. It broke my heart hearing them speak. This doesn't bring back their child. But at least they know this monster will never see the light of day. Rest in ;peace Sam. Your life meant something to so many people.
Well, let’s hope that our justice system remains just and not let the subhuman out for parole. In the US, “life” doesn’t really means life.
@@Ginasgusa i’m from uk and i’m telling u life over here is a joke. 20-25 years but most out after 15. there is a life order which is prison till death but it’s very rarely given out. some drug dealers have gotten longer than rapists. our “life” sentence really isn’t life in lots of cases
@@Ginasgusa in this case it does mean life. Certain states say without the possibility of parole and others don't. Some say life plus added years, some don't, but this judge did say his sentence wouldn't end until the end of his natural life which is why he ran the sentences concurrently and not consecutively as he only has one life to live. HE WILL NEVER LIVE AS A FREE MAN AGAIN AND RIGHTFULLY SO!!!

The fear she must have

Gun- It’s called the “great equalizer” because it’s the only tool of protection that makes a woman able to defend herself from a man, or one man to another twice his size, or a few good men against an evil army etc etc. Its pie in the sky crap fantasy to show all these 110 lb little girls punch men as if does anything but bruise and break their own hands, arms and get them killed. We have to use logic, sense that use to be common that is brainwashed in all the fantasy lies of common propaganda sold every where. The gun was gift to the righteous to enable the blessed of God to stop evil that believes it can do anything it wants if it’s stronger. God meant for us to always be able to protect ourselves and when evil cheats God will stop them for us if we REMEMBER OUR GOD. It’s why God was so targeted and denied our entire lifetimes. Because evil knows we are weak not helpless without him and God will only step in when they cross a certain line. until then God allows evil to kick our butts until we remember who we are in Christ, the children of the Lord God Almighty who have already beaten Satan in Christ if we only accept that gift of Love from God. How can something so awesome have so much controversy in this world when it’s the only pure, true, and Holy truth we know. that I will never understand.
Yea buying one today
I bought them off amazon! Now I know why to use it
To drive around that long he was looking to kill whoever he could this is so sad and to think the girlfriend probably didn't know he was even capable of this
Yeah. It’s so sad. And evil. How long did he drive around for?? I watched everything about the case and the trial, but somehow I must of missed that. Thanks!
One of the best closings I’ve ever witnessed

Yes, he was good and not boring
He did an incredible job. Bravo to law enforcement as well👍🌟🙏😀
He probably done it before. May God help her FAMILY. I will keep them in my PRAYERS. Daddy girl was smart.
Even if he hasn't murdered, he clearly has violence in his past. Just the way he talked to his GF is a peak at that. I'm glad the judge pointed it out in his statement that there's no way he doesn't have some kind of history of bad behavior.
That's what I wonder about...has he done this before!!!?

Aaaaaaaaáaaaáááaáaaaaaaaaáaaáaaaáaaaááaaaaaaaaáaaaaa
Remember the name of Jesus Christ, order evil away, evil has no power and must obey, it must leave and order it back to where it came from in the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus said I go but leave you power in my name and help with the Holy Spirit. Remember Jesus Christ everywhere you are, live, walk, work, even to order evil out of a church. Evil can only be where Christ is not and it’s why our govt and evil work so hard to get us to deny a God,to forget and make us uncomfortable saying the name of Jesus Christ. Learn and know God, he loves us and doesn’t want us to be preyed upon by evil.
@DOESN’T MATTER…just because you don’t believe in the devil does not change the fact that it is an evil spirit that exists. And you experience him everyday just like everybody else. Maybe not to the degree of murdering somebody but you got something with you that God is against. You not special.
We got to find a different answer then prison, these guys don’t care about going to jail at all.
They may not care about going to jail but, At least they are away from society never to hurt anyone ever again!
@betterthangoat Right now we're talking about this guy being put away so he doesn't harm anyone . How'd pedos, rapist and murderers get in this particular dialogue? DUH They will have their day in court too. Bro, please Stick to the topic at hand
@betterthangoat I know this. But putting this criminal away stops him offending again. Crime us not going to stop, because satan is the god of this world. Read 1 Timothy 3:1-4 and it will tell you why crime will not stop. Jesus will fix everything when He returns. Read Revelation 1:7, Luke 21: 25-28. More than anything read Romans 10:9, 10 if you have not made Jesus your Lord and Savior 😀😉

Wow. That prosecutor really left NO ROOM for ANY Reasonable Doubt. Zero. Zip. Nada. I mean I was convinced the minute he dumped her body by his folks place .. and showed up at the ATM with her debit card...but he was AMAZING at making sure no stone was left unturned... I've never been so entranced at listening to closing arguments as much as I was tonight. The prosecutor made this guy look like he needed to be shown on America's Dumbest Criminals all across the United States. Prosecutor SLAUGHTERED him , and trying to claim he is innocent after that ... I'm sure he could barely get the words to leave his throat.
Even at the sentencing this piece of crap would not admit he did it. He was talking about how "I hope they find the real guy who did it and I am innocent" Dude is standing in a pool of blood, guilty as charged and I hope he never gets out. His momma was like he's a good boy??? When in your dreams???

This was incredible, they definitely did Samantha proud.

I do not think this was his first time of every killing anybody this is just the first time they found a body
I’m leaning that way as well, who makes a list of things needed and then goes and kidnap and kill an innocent person!! he’s a monster and I’m so happy that Maria pieced things together because she asked many times why, why and why but his response was mind your business!! I can just imagine how scared she was.

I wonder if this is the first time he’s done this 🤨🤔
@Tahitian Treat "First time" who has done what?
I’ve wondered the same thing!
Even the judge hinted at something along these lines during sentencing. That was not his first rodeo, they should check his DNA against cold cases.
I think he may have done something similar but not this extent.
@@Fee212 First time Rowland killed someone -- what else?
Wish he could’ve gotten the chair
I rather the inmates who watch the news torture him remember they are known to make homemade weapons he may get what he did to this sad victim
No the Judge gave him the right sentence. He gave him a living Death. In this case it will probably be appealed but more likely to be rejected. If it was a death case they would probably be able to get another trial because of the sentence. The murderer is 27 years old he will never leave prison except when he dies. The Judge made sure of that in the different sentences he gave. Locked away like an animal. Told what to do everyday. No friends, fellow prisoners are not your friends. Only visits from family a few times a year. The same cell unless you go to a new cell. When your family leaves after visits you go back to your lonely cold hearted cell. No freedom. You are 27 years old and that is your future. A living Death!!
Understood thank you

Agree
Wow, never saw a Lawyer detailing every bit so interestingly that i decided to listen the whole trial.... 😳 ...Prosecutor 👏👏👏👏
The closing argument is just amazing he went for all the evidence and made it clear that he was the one
The pain she went through makes me so angry . He is a monster
A well-spoken prosecutor.
Damn his closing argument is one of the best I ever heard Perry Mason has nothing on him
Perry Mason is a fictional character who relied upon a script prepared by a great writer with the help of a legal consultant. I did have a cool jury laugh aloud once when I complained about my demonstrative evidence falling off my easel. As I picked up the poster board from the floor, I lamented, "Gee, Perry Mason made this look so easy!" The laughter lightened the mood and relaxed the jurors a little. I learned from that to inject humor gently into some cases when appropriate, but never to use it too much.
"How can someone be so calm driving around after killing someone?"
Answer: They have no conscience and no heart.
Watching from Australia 🇦🇺. These horrors and murders of children are just rampant. I’m praying for our world and humanity.🇦🇺🙂🙏💕
"The slides. Ah, the slides!" I love this guy!
He'll get a new pair of orange ones soon!
This killer is an absolute premeditated fiend. How horrifying for his girlfriend .
Too bad he didn't put that much effort into WORKING. What a monster!! Ladies- don't ever entertain an unemployed man. Its a certain path to despair. Especially for children.
Amazing closing statement from the District Attorney. He was riveting.
Some of his closing was trite and predictable, and part of it was too gimmicky for this sort of case in which the evidence is overwhelming. Tell the story in a compelling way, weave in the law, get in a pre-emptive strike against the unreasonable theory of the defense, and ask for the jury to use their common sense and deliver a guilty verdict. He covered the bases, but he was not brilliant. The case didn't require brilliance when there was that "avalanche" of evidence. I am thrilled the jury did the right thing.
Lol😂 Not so much in my humble opinion!
Rivetingly Boring dragged it on and on and on, Sheesh.
@@hotboy80baby18 ..... You don’t get it, this guy is guilty as charged. Even if you don’t believe he is guilty, tell us How did the items of clothing, including the slippers/sliders with Samantha’s blood end up in his girlfriend’s trash??......
The best ever !
Trying to figure out why he’s said he’s innocent and why the defence even let him to take it to court. Surely they told him it’s better to make a plea deal. I know if he’s adamant then they work with what they can to get him off but they must know he’s guilty. I can only think he doesn’t want to admit his guilt due to his parents but when his dad struggles to speak after a stroke that his son caused he shows no emotions then either. Something went very wrong with Nathaniel and his parents the mother especially need to accept he did this then maybe he will admit it.
That’s exactly what I was thinking 💭.
100% on point!
At the end his mother got up and spoke about being innocent, because he was such a good person. I have compassion for her pain, but she is so incredibly in denial to look away from this mountain of clear, obvious evidence. Her footprint on the inside of his car window; does she think that appeared by magic?
She’s gotta be a democrat 🤣
@@sonyvega360 glad to know us democrats live rent free in your tiny head 😂
@@sonyvega360 …. I’m a democrat and can see that this defendant is guilty as charged. So it’s not about political affiliation, this is about justice for a defenceless young girl who was kidnapped and murdered by this monster. Just so you know I’m black, and don’t think because the defendant is the same race as me, I don’t believe his guilt. Nathaniel is guilty as charged - the avalanche of evidence connects him to Samantha.

This Prosecutor must have been trained by Juan Martinez. Excellent job. Well done Sir.
That faded out quickly, didn't it? Soon he realizes he's done and after that no mo smirking.
Who is Juan Martinez? Are we supposed to know?
@@annfrost3323 He prosecuted Jodi Arias, murderer of Travis Alexander. He is pretty well known, especially among those of us who follow criminal trials.
Why do Lawyers defend these obviously guilty people? How do you sleep at night? Knowing you want to free a murderer. Do you not feel guilty when they kill another?
Ask myself same question 🤔 too
Because they have a right to a defence.. innocent people have and do get locked up for other peoples crimes.. this guy was clearly guilty but each case is different. They say it's better to let 10 guilty people off the hook... than to lock up 1 innocent man for life
Their only interest is to win a case abd let it be said they're great lawyers🤫🤫
It’s the basis of what makes our criminal justice system fair. You have to assume they are innocent until they are proven guilty.
The problem with defense lawyers not defending a killer is, if they DONT defend the case to the best of their abilities, he could appeal his case on grounds that his defense team sabotaged the trial. And then a killer would be free. This has happened many times unfortunately.
In a way, they have to try to prove his innocence in order to put him away. That’s how it works, I agree that must be hard to do when you are sure he’s guilty.
They have to. If he can’t get defense they can’t try him if no trial there’s no conviction they can’t hold him in jail without conviction for more than a year
The jury was out for an hour ... smart people, that's basically the amount of time it takes to decide on a foreperson and fill in the paperwork. The jury did the world a favor, bless every one of them. That poor young woman should be here today and that piece of 'you know what' never should have been born.
This is so sad and just evil ☹️
Evil i agree.
“What does the shark do when he catches its prey? Take the victim below the surface.” Powerful and so sad.

Thank God for those turkey hunters. Her Angels sent them to find her body. I think this case will save many lives. We need to teach are daughters to always be alert and never go out alone.
Unbelievable loss of an innocent life. I have nothing but disdain for her murderer.
Wow They did extremely good on this case. I hope he lives a miserable life behind those walls. RIP samantha
You have to be sick individual to stop and pick up a complete stranger who thought you were an Uber…like who thinks of doing stuff like this?! He’s definitely assaulted someone before
You are right but obviously the police station doesn't care enough to investigate that's how they operate, they won't go out and dig up a case it has to come to them...there is NOWAY in hell this is his FIRST violent crime against an innocent person!!!!!!
Thankfully in Uk now I think it’s practice that the Uber needs to have the same code before entering the Cab always check the registration.
What an emotionless monster may he rot in jail.
Rest In Peace Samantha, they got him and he will never be able to hurt anyone again.
America is tired of going to these trials over and over again and watching these monsters get life in prison which we have to pay for
Exactly. Even with the death penalty it takes way too long with appeals and kinds of delays. He was found guilty give him the death penalty then execute him within 24 hours.
@@tomlovejoy2141 yes
They need to be put to death right away. When there’s 100% sure they did it and that kind of murder front of the line
@@markanderson5809 The problem with that line of thinking is that all prosecutors think the defendant is 100% guilty. We know this by their often refusal to admit they got it wrong. The death penalty is barbaric.
This was not a death penalty case. The state of SC did not try it as such because they couldn’t have proven premeditation. So they tried it as “natural life”, meaning no parole possible.
Go get a job instead taking a innocent life
My condolences I'm so sorry for Samantha's family ,boyfriend and friends . Such a terrible death, she was prey . Rest assured you will see your beautiful Samantha again in heaven.
daaaaaang they're pulling out his job application against him ahahaha. that's how badly they want this guy to rot which honestly represents what the public thinks, too. i hope this guy gets what's coming to him and much, much more. pos
He thought he committed the perfect crime!
If he thought this was perfect he’s dumber than he looks
He found out a lot about technology during his trial ung I didn’t know they could do that.
Just look at how the defender sits there, still, blinks, looks like he might go to sleep. So uncaring, cool. If he didn’t do it I would think he would be horrified for this girl
Because he knows he did it.
Yes or honestly, just horrified for himself! I’m sorry but if I am accused of something like this and I didn’t do it, no way am I going to sit calmly! I’m going to be making facial expressions at the very least! Like “WHAT?! I didn’t do that!” “I didn’t stab that poor girl!” Anything! But he just sits stone cold.
There’s an old saying, The guilty sleep. When you’re innocent you’re gonna yell scream and tell everyone you see, I didn’t do this. You got the wrong guy. On the other hand the guilty figure crap they got me, I’m still going to claim I’m innocent but I may as well lay down and take a nap.

I am sorry for this young lady and her family that was a terrible tragedy. However, there are too many people who call a Uber or Lyft and don't pay attention to who it is or the make, model or color of the vehicle that's picking them up. It even shows them the license plate number too, still many people who have been drinking have mistakenly gotten into my car anyway. This case sure did make my job as a Lyft driver more difficult but I always made sure to get people home safely. I would even wait until single unaccompanied women got inside their homes before leaving. So be safe people and make sure you know who is picking you up. The world is full of good and bad people so stay alert.
Facts dats why even when I catch them I Carrie my gun just in case but I use to drive lyft never fear for my life but it’s many crazy ppl out here drivers riders it’s a crazy world demons all around
Back when Samantha was killed all of that info was not made available on the uber or lift website. This murder is the reason we now get all that info. Its too bad it takes this crap to make changes happen!!!!

Terrific Closing, it's awesome how they relate it like a story step by step joining all the evidence with the defendant and victim!!! Abundance of evidence, no doubt he killed Sam, may she rest in Gods arms,
Aggravated murder, I'd say life in prison no parole!!!
20 yrs on death row
In South Carolina if convicted of murder that's life no parole

This guy didn't make it any easier for them to make a decision. Literally the sloppiness in this case is unreal. He didn't try to ditch or manipulate the evidence at all.
Idk how Rowland’s family is still sticking by him and his “innocence” after all of that evidence. The atm camera, his car picking up sweet Samantha (RIH love❤️), the traffic stop, the blood in his car and on his clothes…..SO MUCH EVIDENCE
Rowland displayed the characteristics of a psychopath and/or sociopath. Did you notice? He displayed no emotion. Hell, he knew he had this quality; he put it on his resume or job application. It is a lot easier to harm/kill someone when you have no emotions. . . . He had the makings of a serial killer.
Sweet Samantha, exactly why was she sweet, did you know her personally? I doubt it, it's funny to me when someone dies all of a sudden they're sweet, loving care free one of a kind etc. Just stop already. Yeah it's sad this woman was taken at the beginning of her youth 21 but you know nothing about her she could of been snooty one of those mean girls we don't truly know because you or I didn't know her personally.
@@unicornmadness6286, wow, for you to seize on "sweet Samantha" and focus on that smacks of sociopathology. By all accounts, Samantha's parents, friends, boyfriend, and even her teachers, Samantha was someone special. . . . But, okay, let's suppose Samantha was a "snooty, mean girl." Even if she was it does not permit or excuse anyone kidnapping and murdering her -- as you seem to imply. If you cannot feel empathy for someone kidnapped and murdered, then something is wrong with you. The terror and pain Samantha felt in the last hours of her life and as she was stabbed 120 times, must have been terrible. . . . And you take exception to someone calling her "sweet?" Yeah, get yourself a therapist.
