I watch a lot of trials and this was a perfect closing. Engaging, good summarization of evidence, explained away possible points bought by Defense later. Very impressed with this attorney.
yea, i agree. Impeccable close by Daniel Goldberg. I wonder wtf was going though the killers mind when he did such an evil act....crazy! and didnt show no remorse in his eyes.
If he's innocent, that would mean that: 1. Someone took his car and drove it in the same way as he did, including keeping the seat way back and driving the wrong way down one way streets. 2. The person then mimicked his handwriting and made a list of things you need for a murder, like duct tape and bleach. 3. The person then abducted Samantha and killed her in the car, where she left behind about a gallon of her blood and her footprint in the window. The person used a knife very similar to the weird knife that Rowland has -- a knife with two ends, one with a double blade and one a single blade -- to do the murder. 4. That person then wore an outfit remarkably similar to Rowland's outfit that he was wearing that day, and also happened to be similar enough looking to Rowland that the cell phone store guy would identify him as Rowland, and also wore that outfit -- down to the money bandana and distinctive shoes. He wore that outfit while trying to access Sami's ATM card and sell her cell phone. 5. That person borrowed Rowland's cell phone and also knew its passcode, a passcode that was tricky enough that the police weren't able to guess it. 6. That person dumped Sami's body in an area that Rowland was super familiar with, but was in the middle of nowhere. 7. That person then brought back the car and the phone, and the clothes, and the knife, and also rubbed some of Sami's DNA under his fingernails. 8. Though Rowland found his car now to be inexplicably full of blood, he didn't seem to react to it and just began trying to clean it with bleach. 9. When the girlfriend pounds on his door "like the police do," he's spooked, and when pulled over by cops, he's calm until the cops mention him matching a description, and that spooks him into running away -- but that is just coincidental and has nothing to do with him being guilty, somehow. 10. The person who murdered Sami then also dumped all that stuff behind Rowland's girlfriend's house. I mean. Come on.
How dumb is he? He is still driving around in the blood soaked car, the stolen phone right next to him, smoking weed? He is a sociopath, he is a waster and I never say this, a true BUM in life, didn’t even change his clothes from day to day. Again, wtf was he banking on? I’m so angry right now!!!
I'm a law student. My hat goes off to the Prosecutor. Loved the way he broke down the specifics of each charge and the video just sealed his faith. He definitely met the burdens of proof. Perfect closing!!!
Wow...his ex gf practically solved this case and this prosecutor delivered that speech!!! His parents are Delusional if they think their son is "innocent"!! FOH
Probably the best closing argument I’ve seen out of the trials that have been televised. This is that type of case there’s absolutely no doubt who the killer is and in these certain types of cases they warrant the death penalty.
Bravo! Prosecutor Goldberg. Without a doubt your team and SLED has proved that all the pieces of evidence POINT to Nathaniel Rowland. My heart breaks for Samantha's family.
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. 😂
Why would that guy in the fuschia shirt STAB a beautiful woman over 120 times for $35, which he never got? Her future was so bright... Her BA in a few days and then Law school. We needed her. He took her from us for NOTHING!!
I want to thank all law enforcement officers and everyone in the judicial system that brought justice for Samantha and put the monster away. God bless Samantha and her family.
Please don't hurt them anymore than he has already hurt them. "Cold blooded" has shamed their family forever. His dad crying broke my heart. I'm sure they have figured out their son is a killer...but they aren't. Everyone will now look at them differently in their community until they die. It would be the toughest thing to come to terms your child you raised could be capable of such a demonic act.
They are probably like my grandmother, when my cousin, her grandson got into trouble it was always someone else's fault. Even the last time when him and a girl robbed an old lady at knife point. I have never taken up for him.
His parents have already spoken again during the sentencing phase especially the mom and she was informed by the judge real quickly when she tried to say her son was innocent. The judge wasn’t having it.
🙄 Is this your first time seeing a trial? Most defendants are unemotional. They are told by the attorneys not to react. That's why they have pen and paper. In this video, he can't even see a good bit of the closing. The monitor is faced away from him. How many men do you know that are overly emotional? Looking for this man to be emotional so you can talk mess. He didn't give it to you and you still talk mess.
A rough guide to deliberation is one day per week of testimony, or one hour per day of testimony- different maths, same result. I expect the verdict for this case to be quick.
Would of like to hear him speak why he was covering all that up and thought it wasnt the peoples business to know and woulnt t tell the people in court either. I guess evidence speaks louder then silence.
Great closing presentation to support the facts in this case 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.....but a lessoned to be learned here is, COME ON PPL BE BETTER FRIENDS TO YOUR FRIENDS AND DO NOT ALLOW FOR THEM TO WAIT FOR A RIDE ALONE👆🏻!! ESPECIALLY A FEMALE!! HAVE MORE COMMON SENSE THAN THAT!! As well as making sure that on the app it shows you the type of vehicle and a pic of the person!! MAKE SURE IT ALL MATCHES B4 U EVEN THINK TO GET IN THE VEHICLE!! And im not saying this was her fault, bcuz it wasnt her fault she was killed. JUST BE MORE AWARE OUT THERE BCUZ THERE R PPL OUT THERE THAT CANNOT BE TRUSTED👆🏻. Ever since I had heard about this in 2019, I couldn't believe she was left out there all alone to wait for a ride😡. May her family find some comfort in the outcome of the case. 🙏🏻
The proc must have been pretty happy when the defendant refused whatever plea they offered him. Or they offered nothing at all. This was a slam dunk case for them like they probably don't get very often.
The defendant wore that same bright red shirt twice. The day they showed the bloody shirt. So soaked with blood you couldn’t tell the shirt’s color and today that they recapped all the bloody evidence. It screams a big F you to everybody trying to convict him and to the victim herself. The defendant is void of any feelings for anyone but himself.
@@NicoleKe I got it from the lawyer and the " girlfriend " who said he had been wearing the same clothes for 3 days .She actually told him he needed to clean himself up because he had the same outfit on for 3 days .
I watch tons of trials and I've never seen a LEO who is unrelated to the victim, giving a victim impact statement .... it speaks to how this crime affected everyone who witnessed it. ❤
Mr. Demon Rowland is nothing but a predator. I hope his time in prison is very miserable with every day long and boring. I hope the food sucks! I hope his friends forget about him and i hope his family has to drive so far to see him that it becomes rare he gets a visit. Life in prison is better than the death penalty sometimes. I hope he hates it so badly.
Why ? Why was she allowed to go catch an Uber alone after having drinks? Her friends should really feel bad. My condolences to them,but they need to be more careful. This could've been avoided. 😔😢
Prosecution did a great outstanding job. He covered everything so well, I really like this Prosecutor he is great. Speaks well so you can understand every word. Thank you Sir!! Yes Cold blooded Murderer he is. Guilty as charged!
I would want to give Nathaniel a beating he’ll never forget if I was Samantha’s father. What was said inside that car between Samantha & Nathaniel the world will never know. This case isn’t as detailed like the Chris Watts case was. He should have let her go. Had no right to take her life. I hope he’s in jail forever.
There is a girl here on you tube that seen this trial and actually believes this man is innocent. Says his ex girlfriends testimony was weak, to me it was anything but weak. Put together a bunch of clips to make her look like a liar. How anyone could watch this trail and believe he's innocent I'll never know. Like the judge said there was an avalanche of evidence.
Not so sure about the shark metaphor...dehumanizing anyone, even a murder, is a slippery slope; just call him what he is...an evil person and a killer!
@Tricia R. Yes, but a carnivorous animal hunts its prey because it must to eat...it is not evil. Therefore it is not correct to equate this man and his choice to commit murder to an animal whose instinct is to hunt and kill to survive.
What was your guess? You said let you guess. Let me tell you that not all prosecutors are as barbaric as the death penalty. Justice can be served without parading around the death penalty.
He might get some prison justice. My guess is most other prisoners will not be sympathetic to him. Not necessarily killed in prison, but hopefully getting roughed up.
I watch a lot of trials and this was a perfect closing. Engaging, good summarization of evidence, explained away possible points bought by Defense later. Very impressed with this attorney.
Absolutely. He’s amazing.

I mean. Come on.
Absolutely covered everything so well! Fabulous job by prosecution!!! Good job!!
How dumb is he? He is still driving around in the blood soaked car, the stolen phone right next to him, smoking weed? He is a sociopath, he is a waster and I never say this, a true BUM in life, didn’t even change his clothes from day to day. Again, wtf was he banking on? I’m so angry right now!!!
And his parents thought he was a good boy. Ha. Wonder if they are still in denial.
Excellent closing. You all did a great job.
One of the Best closings I've ever seen!!! Well done 👏 . LET JUSTICE BE SERVED
I'm a law student. My hat goes off to the Prosecutor. Loved the way he broke down the specifics of each charge and the video just sealed his faith. He definitely met the burdens of proof. Perfect closing!!!
Sealed his fate.
Great Prosecutor closing - very detailed & precise. Justice for Samantha!
I love this Prosecutor . He is spot on and extremely good 😊
As I’ve said before, this closing should be shown in every law class, forever. It was to perfection!
Wow...his ex gf practically solved this case and this prosecutor delivered that speech!!!
His parents are Delusional if they think their son is "innocent"!! FOH
AMAZING!!! Best closing argument I've ever seen. It should be replicated in a movie.
Probably the best closing argument I’ve seen out of the trials that have been televised. This is that type of case there’s absolutely no doubt who the killer is and in these certain types of cases they warrant the death penalty.
The killer is up a creek without a paddle. He is not too smart but he thought he was. Mind your business!!!
@Kitty Cat
Yes honey, mind ya business!! He should have changed them clothes and left that bandana home🤣
Bravo! Prosecutor Goldberg. Without a doubt your team and SLED has proved that all the pieces of evidence POINT to Nathaniel Rowland. My heart breaks for Samantha's family.

Yesssss!!!
Same here
That’s was a corny af
Perfect blend of facts, law, and theatrics.
I agree . There's an avalanche of evidence against the defendant. Wow!
Why would that guy in the fuschia shirt STAB a beautiful woman over 120 times for $35, which he never got? Her future was so bright... Her BA in a few days and then Law school. We needed her. He took her from us for NOTHING!!
WOW! That closing argument gave me cold chills! Amazing job by the prosecutor attorney 👏👏
I want to thank all law enforcement officers and everyone in the judicial system that brought justice for Samantha and put the monster away.
God bless Samantha and her family.
This prosecutor is A+++++
👏👏👏👏
Excellent closing argument. Put the entire scenario together perfectly. This demon Nathaniel needs to be put away for ever.
Excellent closing SC! Bringing it all home!
This like my 6 time coming back to watch this closing arguments. He did a great job.....
I thought I was the only one.
I hope they interview his Parents again and hear what they have to say after all this evidence has been presented.
Yes I’d like to see their reactions as well! “ I know my child/ren are not capable of these things” .... sir/ma’am... evidence says otherwise
They'll say "My son and OJ are innocent, the election was rigged, and the pandemic is a farse!"
Please don't hurt them anymore than he has already hurt them. "Cold blooded" has shamed their family forever. His dad crying broke my heart. I'm sure they have figured out their son is a killer...but they aren't. Everyone will now look at them differently in their community until they die.

The most powerful and heartfelt closing I have ever seen amazing
It's amazing how he's able to be so unemotional during the entire trial. I wonder what really went on in the house he grew up in.?
🙄 Is this your first time seeing a trial? Most defendants are unemotional. They are told by the attorneys not to react. That's why they have pen and paper. In this video, he can't even see a good bit of the closing. The monitor is faced away from him.

@@NicoleKe Is this your first time seeing a trial? Not every defendant is this unemotional.
@@NicoleKe Please go back under the rock you came from.
It would not of matter if he shown any emotion it going to jail the moment he was pick up by the police and arrested
Bravo counselor. Very well done.
👏👏👏👏 Great Job by the Prosecution....very Powerful !!
ITS GONE TO THE JURY.I EXPECT IN TWO HOURS THEY WILL HAVE A GUILTY VERDICT
A rough guide to deliberation is one day per week of testimony, or one hour per day of testimony- different maths, same result. I expect the verdict for this case to be quick.
Verdicts in. U called it.
the defense has yet to speak
@@skibeesmith5952 And they never did. There wasn’t anything they could say.
The prosecution of this case as well as the Judge were just amazing. This is how our system should always work.
RIP Samantha
Surely this isn’t the first time he’s thought, preyed & attempted to do what he’s done to Samantha.
Wow, this prosecutor is great. I hope he uses his talent to only put guilty people behind bars
Guilty af
Brilliant closing argument!
Prosecutor's closing was perfect. He put it all together
This was a masterful close.
Would of like to hear him speak why he was covering all that up and thought it wasnt the peoples business to know and woulnt t tell the people in court either. I guess evidence speaks louder then silence.
What a little coward. “Sir,, yes sir...”. But he feels totally comfortable stabbing and slashing an innocent woman to death.
Watched this more then 4 times now!! This trial was a good one.. they did an excellent job!!!
He’s innocent
@Elizakenny That's your opinion. I ain't here to change it..... enjoy your day
How anyone can possibly believe he is innocent is unbelievable
There’s reasonable doubt
*NO ONE* "deserves" to be murdered
Great closing presentation to support the facts in this case 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.....but a lessoned to be learned here is, COME ON PPL BE BETTER FRIENDS TO YOUR FRIENDS AND DO NOT ALLOW FOR THEM TO WAIT FOR A RIDE ALONE👆🏻!!

May her family find some comfort in the outcome of the case. 🙏🏻
Yes I feel the same way and never should have happened. This could have been avoided if everyone just had time.
Hearing the silent sobs of the family is heartbreaking
Daniel Goldberg did an awesome job. Thank you so very much.
Wow! Excellent closing argument by the prosecutor 👏🏽💯
He doesn't look shook now? I wonder why. He's a fool.
Because he's good under pressure! The POS!!!
Sooo guilty!
He had the ooops I’m busted look on his face a few times during the closing
The proc must have been pretty happy when the defendant refused whatever plea they offered him. Or they offered nothing at all. This was a slam dunk case for them like they probably don't get very often.
Attorney Daniel Goldberg ate that closing argument up and left NO CRUMBS👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow! Great closing by prosecution! Makes me cry for her and family and friends.
I almost feel like I'm in church listening to him talk. Lol

Haven’t seen verdict as yet. But I am hopeful that this monster is off the streets. What a horrific ending for that poor woman.
Anybody else thinking he had to stink like 💩...same clothes three days!
Where are you getting three days from? March 28, killed Sam on the 29, changed clothes at some point, apprehended early morning hours of the 30th.
@@NicoleKe I got it from the lawyer and the " girlfriend " who said he had been wearing the same clothes for 3 days .She actually told him he needed to clean himself up because he had the same outfit on for 3 days .

Tragic event for so many folks… I truly hope the evidence is complete and the right person is found guilty.
He is amazing,,, justice pure passion for this beautiful young woman and all who 💕 her.
The Judge hit it hard & directly on the nail. " You're a heartless person " " a depraved heart "
Rowland is like being in the lecture...no emotions. What was the motivations? He destroyed not only own life but also many other's life.
I really hate how he just sat there. No remorse
Excellent job by all the prosecutors
A Beanie with a statement of "Cold Blooded" on it, that too is a message. Prosecution did a stellar job throughout. 💯🙏🏽
Thank goodness for those hunters who found the body so he could be locked up.
Child locks on the back door - my guess is he wanted to look like an Uber driver so he could kill somebody.
all doors & windows, came w/the car.
SUPERB CLOSING ARGUMENT FROM THE PROSECUTOR!!!!!! WOW!!!!
Fantastic MR. Prosecutor!!!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟
Mr. Demon Rowland is nothing but a predator. I hope his time in prison is very miserable with every day long and boring. I hope the food sucks! I hope his friends forget about him and i hope his family has to drive so far to see him that it becomes rare he gets a visit. Life in prison is better than the death penalty sometimes. I hope he hates it so badly.
Best closing I have ever heard. Congratulations Prosecutor.
He looks like he is about to fall asleep. He just doesn’t care or have any feelings about this girl being murdered
What kind of monster he is, kill an innocent person for few hundred or thousand dollars? That one act of his must have shattered many lives
John Meadors told the jury in the Murdaugh trial to use their common sense too. So very clear he did this.
Why ? Why was she allowed to go catch an Uber alone after having drinks? Her friends should really feel bad. My condolences to them,but they need to be more careful. This could've been avoided. 😔😢
This guy should be placed under the jail. Great closing by the prosecutor! My daughter and her friends use Uber. I can't wait to warn her.
Prosecution did a great outstanding job. He covered everything so well, I really like this Prosecutor he is great. Speaks well so you can understand every word. Thank you Sir!! Yes Cold blooded Murderer he is. Guilty as charged!
I like this prosecution team!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 great job prosecutor
He is a Monster. My Granddaughter is the same age as Samantha. God bless her Family. He deserves the same pain that Samantha endured.
I would want to give Nathaniel a beating he’ll never forget if I was Samantha’s father. What was said inside that car between Samantha & Nathaniel the world will never know. This case isn’t as detailed like the Chris Watts case was.
He should have let her go. Had no right to take her life. I hope he’s in jail forever.
Those young men were meant to find that beautiful young lady! ❤❤ the ending was horrific but Sammy was found.
Execution of justice at its best!

This sick he's sick
The defense really didn’t try at all. There are quite a few things that could have and should have been said in his defense.
Like what?!!!!

Why wasn’t the death penalty on the table? Let me guess , if ever their was a reason foo the death penalty this was it. Shame on the prosecution.
What was your guess? You said let you guess. Let me tell you that not all prosecutors are as barbaric as the death penalty. Justice can be served without parading around the death penalty.
Not all states have the death penalty
He might get some prison justice.
My guess is most other prisoners will not be sympathetic to him.
Not necessarily killed in prison, but hopefully getting roughed up.
It was Samantha Jefferson's parents that didn't want the death penalty. They didn't want to take the Rowlands son like their son took their daughter.
But where is ALL OF HER BLOOD?
Take your meds
The "guilty" trick at the end 1:16:10 is a little corny though.
