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.

It’s crazy how ppl can focus on her teeth, or her grammar in these comments but if this man really did this she’s a survivor, so is her child…no one knows why her tooth isn’t there and it has NOTHING to do with the case! Ppl stay clowning ppl…that woman was not knowingly living with a Killer!!!! give her some respect!
And there is nothing wrong with her grammar..
She is beautiful and she did so good here. She did not stutter or anything. I hope she finds a good man! She deserves it.
They couldn’t call her ugly so they found something else.
Yes! I literally did not even notice her teeth until I came to these shameful comments! She is beautiful and carries herself well! Credible witness holding her ground and standing up against a monster to put him where he belongs! Can’t see how there is anything bad to say about her!
She looks like she has a gap in front teeth. I had that too. It is inherited. My grandmother’s family had it. I don’t hear any thing about her grammar that was a problem.
It sickens me that ppl are saying she's a snitch, and acting like she's worse than a fvcking MURDERER!!!
She did the RIGHT thing, he did the WRONG thing!!
Thank you!!! She gets threats from people while she is out in public as well
Culture. You could take out their own *child* and they won't tell.
I have never seen a less productive cross examination of a witness. And the reason is because she is telling the absolute truth and is a prosecution's dream witness. All the defense attorney did was to highlight how credible this woman is. This is as close to a slam dunk as we will ever see in the courtroom.
the defense literally told the witness nathanial was talking to other chicks when she didnt even know in the first place 😅🥲
@@monkeyfeeshfrog lol I missed that part
Facts
@@monkeyfeeshfrog Yes and he was driving with another female in his car when he got caught by police, then he fled on foot and they got him.
Reminds me of the unproductive opening statement
Good job sis, and thank you for being as truthful as you possibly can. That young lady did not deserve to die…PERIOD!!
When you are poor and struggling with a child without a car, you do whatever it takes to make it. She had no other option but to pick up her baby....blood in the backseat or abandon her at daycare. She did not have money for Uber/Lyft. She is barely making it. She does not have money or dental insurance to fix her teeth. She does not even have a washer/dryer. Hope all judgmental people are on their knees thanking God for all their resources and financial blessings.
Thanking God for my resources as well but I have experienced some tough times but some things are a No Go despite your circumstances especially when your child is involved.....
I can't judge her but I'm sorry I'd stop at the dry blood I'm going to the police immediately
@@krystingrant6292 🍪?
Absolutely! I’ve been in her shoes and am thankful i have money for gas and dental work when needed now
Where was it illustrated that she was poor? She’s a single mother with a college degree. Just because she work at McDonald’s doesn’t mean she was making a little amount of money. She obviously could make it because she had her own place and was paying her rent. I don’t see anywhere in her testimony where her being “poor” came about
I hope she safe and nobody harms her for testifying. Such a brave woman.
She had to testified- she left her letter in his car.
@@savory9082 what letter
So you didn't listen to the entire case. When she was on the stand the lawyer question her and the witness was explaining why she left the letter in his glove compartment. Go check it out 4 urself!!!!
She be fine. 120 times to an innocent girl who just wanted to get home.
Yes Maria Howard did a great job, some people on here don’t realize she just reconnected with him a couple week prior to this happening, he probably was stalking her too for a place to eat, sleep, chill out, his sister was probably tired of him too livin off her as he didn’t want to work, a bum! He was using several woman @ that, Maria had no clue, he was like a night shark stalking woman for money when she would go to sleep, I’m sure it’s not his first time, the judge said it best, I think She put up a fight, from the front seat to the back seat trying to get out, I think he was going to rob her but she saw his face while fighting so he killed her, poor girl had 30 dollars in the bank and now a life in jail for you the monster and you got nothin, he had no clue his car was on camera, how stupid are you cameras are all over everywhere! Maria sealed the deal as he was no longer able to use the story he fell asleep at a party and someone stole his car, he left from her house, this is the reason the defense could not put on a case, this busted his alibi “his made up story” He thought he was off scott free without a clue and they were already lookin for him, Great job Maria! Maria’s letter in the glove box was also key to finding all the evidence!
She can finally tell him to 'mind HIS business' as he's escorted out to jail....
Right!?
YESSSSSSSS
Hahaha, I hope she literally sends him mail that says that. 😂
Good one
Yessssss
She’s a great witness and he clearly did it. It’s really scary how it easily could’ve been her, I just think he felt more comfortable doing it to someone he wasn’t linked to. I can’t wait for them to lock him up and throw away the key
@Nikki Namikaze-Uchiha-Hatake I caught I noticed that too
I noticed that too. Actually
the first time she was asked what time she went to bed she said 1230 or 1 AM. The second time she said 130 or 2 AM. I don’t think that really matters. When she was asked why or how she knew he hadn’t spend the night she said because the blankets on her side of the bed were still neat and not like slept in. Then the attorney asked does he sleep in bed with you, like sleep to go to sleep and she said no he sleeps on the couch. Weird
Maria is a young single Mom struggling to maintain a home for her and her daughter. She made some mistakes, particularly in the men she kept company with. But we've all been young and dumb. I hope she has a better and bright future.
❤️
indeed.
I think she has some good karma coming her way.
Narcacist people never show their true selves til most time too late to know whats up..this is nothing but God stepping in to expose him..if she ddnt get that ride the state wouldnt have the perfect witness because they ddnt have any solid proof tying him to the killing..
Amen well said
Thank you Maria for standing up and testifying. It’s difficult to be a single, working mother. Not to own a car must have been tough and put you in harm’s way. She is working double shifts at McDonald’s!!
The Attorney is trying to shake her but makes it worse because at the end of the day the witness is a hard working woman, trying to be as responsible for her child as she can and somehow got mixed up with a man that sounds as scandalous as they come. GIRL I hope you don't stop running.
FACTS!!
She'll ignore blood all over the place to make her shift. She's a hard working queen that chooses men she likes. She has something in common with him and built a relationship on that. She put a child in blood to test his love. She's the best and should be in prison for accessory.
@@shonuffizhere5670 Exactly! "I put her in there to see if he would tell me" like wth . . He didn't even want the baby in the car.
@@shonuffizhere5670 then lied to the police the first time and said it was because she was tired like wth.
@@SittingPRETTY727 they ignoring all evidence points 👉 to her. Folks conviently forget the weapon was found at her house. Bloody clothes in the trash, weapon, AND only her prints found on the cleaning products. LOOK THE OTHER WAY!!! The queen was tired and needed to make her shift. Queen sees 👀 nothing else.
I only noticed the gap for about 2mins. After that I'm listening to her answers. She's actually a beautiful girl
She is very pretty
Same!
Same
She is very pretty. I wonder how a beautiful girl ends up with A missing tooth in the front of her grill. South Carolina must be rough she met the killer in college but is working at McDonald's with a little girl dating a man that isn't the bABIES father. Someone got a bad deal from one of these fellas. God bless her and her baby I don't think she was ever in danger of Nate.
She's an amazing witness. Shes honest so much so she incriminate herself multiple times but stays calm and tells the court truthfully what she knows.
Prime example of the truth always stands! Couldn't shake her. May God bless her and Samanthas family
Amen 🙏
He thought very little of her to be so reckless in her company. Turns out to be a bad idea.
A lot of murderers are caught due to a sloppy mistake on their part. Dennis Nielsen (a UK serial killer) was caught after trying to flush human body parts down the toilet.
I was thinking the same but the way it sounds like she reacted explains why he took her as no threat. I agree tho, very wrong idea on his part.
@@geoffpoole483 Yes! I remember that case I think the plumber found them. Ugh
So what are y’all saying he should’ve killed her to? Y’all are sick
@@beanonymous7669 no dummy. My point is, he thought she was so inferior that she didn't deserve explanations. He didn't even see the need to LIE to her about blood, etc. That's a sociopath!! She had no rent $, no car, no place to wash clothes, etc.--- a mom trying to help her head above water. And to the sociopath, ppl like her are worthless.
Maria Howard's testimony was so impressively calm, flat affect, even flatter tone. Absolutely nothing rattled her. She's very believable....
I would have been a nervous reck. My voice crackles when I'm super nervous. She's awesome at the million questions that keep getting repeated.
Cause she had no reason to be nervous-she told what she knew.
@@nancygreen3705 my heart hurts for the girl he stabbed. Like we chant BLM and he acts like this. I’m very disappointed in this brother. I won’t have him representing my culture.

Cause she’s not guilty. Just got dragged into his bs
That defense attorney was annoying. Trying to trick Maria! Maria was honest and truthful and did a great job on the stand!
The attorney was simply doing her job.
To be fair the attorney is just doing their job. But when there’s so much evidence against their client they have to dig REALLY deep for anything. But always remmeber not to blame the Defense Attorney because it’s their JOB to defend the client because they have a right to an attorney
F
This witness is not having it from his attorney. She's holding it all in!
I thought the same. You can tell from her face & her tone.
Defense attorney is shaken by inability to shake witness. No point to any of her questions or laborious review.
@@northerngirl1637 my thing is 1. there is so much evidence against him. 2. Why not just plead out. This attorney is a dummy for taking this case. L all over this nonsense. And just to think they were TRYING to implicate her. 🙄
@@athomewithfrancsicio because they always think they are smarter than everyone else
Maria Howard is a good witness in my opinion. Telling her truth and what she observed. She isn't covering up for anybody.👍
Telling "THE" truth.
“Her” truth? I don’t understand. You mean THE TRUTH? She doesn’t have a truth. That’s not how ENGLISH works.
@@alexzandria6803 Maybe you need to hold a class .
@@capatga can’t teach Liberals. I’ve tried. They’re too far gone. I mean left.
@@alexzandria6803 Funny. You trying to teach someone how to speak a language that's an evolution of many languages together. As if you can't possibly understand how languages evolve over time. What's so hard to understand about her truth? If there's a ball that's half red, half blue and from my side it's blue but you're on the other side and say it's red then obviously that's your truth. We're both telling the truth. 🙄 I'm sorry you didn't evolve further past Neanderthal.
Love how honest and real this lady is...props to her !!
Agreed ! She’s trying to do right by her daughter. Working double shifts and even going to work with a wet shirt on . Hope she’s doing ok after this . Her testimony was a big reason he was convicted.
He need to pull that mask up over his nose
This woman is a VERY credible witness I can feel her honesty. Great job!
Well done Maria. You did a great job on the stand. The truth has set you free from that deceitful monster..
She is a credible witness. She held her own with the defense attorney. Maria made an unfortunate decision dating this monster, however I believe she learned a valuable lesson, and will vet any man entering her & her daughters life moving forward. May God bless her. I hope they put him under the jail. IMO he’s guilty as sin.
Amen.
Held her own? The questions were simple.
he fooled her she is just so sweet and hard working it seems glad she lived to testify against him.
1:03:18 That look could pierce the defense attorney's soul. Good for her for holding her own! I can't imagine having to go through this...
I’m so proud of her! I believe everything she said.
But the part of her lying about her boyfriend not sleeping in the bed with her. I'm like stop lying already 🙄
@@jackrabbit0 maybe her daughter sleeps with her at night so she doesn’t** let him🤷🏽♀️
Yes ma'am! She was fantastic!
Amen.. So proud of her!! God keep her safe
@@jackrabbit0 yeah I thought that was kind of weird that he doesn't sleep with her in the bed.
She held her own and wasn’t having any of what the defense was handing out! Good for her!
She's a beautiful young woman I am glad her and her children are safe from this monster
She is pretty for sure and can be a model!
I agree. I hope Maria is able to rise above all this and see her potential...
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yall will say anything!
@@michealtyler9702 😂😂😂😂cause she’s testifying
Beautiful? She’s missing teeth. And wearing a weave and false eyelashes. FOH!
THE UNSHAKABLE MARIA HOWARD…👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
He’s annoying me as he is scribbling on that pad like he’s so intelligent…😒 dude you’re guilty! Give it up!
@A J like he’s really doing something
@M W like he’s really doing something.
He was writing down things for his defense team to ask and they didn't which is why he was upset and they had a back and forth with each other at the end of the questioning. It didn't seem that his defense team was representing him the way he wanted to be represented... which is odd.
@@510Redneck probably because it was self incriminating.
And most of the time he didn't even use his mask right!! His nose holes uncovered & his glaring rebellious eyes!!
It's rude of the prosecutor to say to the ex-girlfriend that she is mumbling. She should have asked her to speak up and clearly into the microphone. There's a professional way to speak to people.
Agreed
They wanted to get her out of character to push a narrative.
@@prettypisces0738 This was the prosecutor and she's their witness. So I think the prosecutor was too comfortable with her and it was rude.
Caught that too 👀
Trust me..April Sampson is a very mean heffer
This is a great woman: hardworking, honest, and not intimidated at all.
@Debra Charles some people grow up in hostile environments and become more immune to things that others would freak out about
@@GabrielGarcia-ov1yq Facts!!!!
@@GabrielGarcia-ov1yq she put that baby in that car to test his love to see if he would be honest or tell her anything and she lied to the police the first time because she was "tired" 🥴
How she honest and she lied to the police the first time ?
How she honest and she ain't even think to call the police back after lying.
@@SittingPRETTY727 People from the hood don't trust 5-0
Does anyone get the impression that the defense attorneys are just as disgusted with this defendant as the rest of us? They are forced to work with him - for the state.
I got the same feeling.
Yes.
Really admire this woman for not only telling what she knows but I can feel her fear she must have felt for her daughter! Kudos mama.
T
She didn't have too much fear if she let him stay with her after she saw all of that blood in his car and then saw it on the news..........
of course she let him spend the night , if she would have overreacted her and her child , would be dead some of y'all on here dumb
When you tell the truth, you don’t need a good memory. ..I’m quoting Judge Judy. This witness was 100% truthful.
Funny that you say that, she told the detectives somthing and then changed her story later...not to mention claiming he didn't sleep in the bed with her but yet knew he was gone because the sheets on the bed were the same as when she went to sleep...
I could see him looking at her like how dare you.. she is unbothered. And how dare him
She kept her cool! How dare the attorney try and blame her? She did so much better than I would’ve
She told the truth, you never have to back paddle when you tell the truth. This chick tried to discredit your testimony, great job young lady your mom would be proud of you.
He used her!!!! I’m just happy she finally found what he’s about & Thank God she was able to testify & help the family get Justice for their daughter❤️🙏🏻✌🏼
She wasn't being used.. She was with an idiot bcuz she is one too.. She just a tiny bit smarter then him
@@julbri7105 when she says she forgot her daughter was at day care at 8:00 pm smh and she smokes weed with him
Yes he did. It's one thing if you're behind on one of your TWO phones and can't pay the bill and hooking up to wifi but you're cheap behind can't even buy your "murder cleaning supplies"??? Obviously that 2nd phone wasn't for "work", on or off the books.
Use her for whatttt
@@407STUNTMAN use her for her place, as a place to live and maybe even an alibi. She said she went to sleep and he was there. He was using her..
He's sitting in his chair fuming mad taking notes. Crazy!!!!
Hats off to this young woman for her solid & honest testimony. And that's coming from an UnReconstructed Virginian, 51 yrs. old, that was brought to tears - not only for Ms. Josephson & her family, & bc i have daughter the age of the victim, but for the tragedy as described by the Judge at Rowland's sentencing. The outwardly apparent good son that hatched such a wicked brood of crimes and even gave thought to doing such a thing, is startling
Great witness .Totally honest .What an ordeal for her but she held her nerve .
She should get her teeth fixed.
@Tricia R. go ask her to do a go fund me page!
It gives her character! She’s pretty!
Absolutely.
It saddens me people are focused on her teeth instead of her bravery.

@@sunmoonstars0369 actually i think a car is the priority !
Beautiful smart woman! So proud she told her story right in front of the pos. I pray she overcomes this and is blessed with a better job and life. Defense attorney surely knows blood on the floor could be wet and the blood in the seat could be dry. Pointless to try to make her out to not know what she saw. “You forgot your daughter “ shame on the attorney. Maybe seeing blood and a knife cause trauma! She works hard to provide for her daughter and did her best.
Maria, "is" the "perfect" dream "witness" for the "prosecution."..She's totally, cool, calm and collected.
She's clearly angry and irritated from @1:02:29 onwards after she's caught lying about where in the house Rowland was sleeping in. Still, great witness.
Bless this beautiful soul for being a good honest human being, telling the truth and doing the right thing.
I dont blame her for not acting out of the ordinary. She obviously knew something wasn't right but she still had to take care of her responsibilities (work, rent, picking up her child etc.) She was literally minding her business because it had nothing to do with her. Also when an individual doesn't pose a threat to you or your child on an everyday basis, the last thing you would expect is that they have murdered someone in the car, whether or not there was blood in it. She's not stupid she kept questioning him throughout the two days and was expecting him to give her an answer. I'm sure if she thought at any point he posed a threat to her or their daughter she would have left or called the police. It must have been shocking to her when she saw the news and finally put two and two together. That's something difficult and shocking for someone to learn and accept. For all she knows he hit an animal, or got into a fight, or something happened with a friend that he didn't want to tell her or involve her. But I'm most certain she didn't think he murdered someone! For all you people that said "oh I would have called the police" you probably wouldn't know what to do until you had some answers! For all you know she was scared and acted calm to protect her and her child.
Respect to Maria for having to go through that ordeal. Must have been so scary! I'm glad her and her daughter are safe!
You are so right, I think she played her part until she knew she was safe, like she ain't want to act different
Right and when people tell you “ mind your business “ you mind your mf business 😂😂
Well said
Shes a very competent witness. He's going down. He should have never went to her house. He pretty much confessed to it by showing her all that evidence of death. He's amazingly stupid b

The defendants ex-girlfriend, who had to wear a wet shirt and travel in a blood stained car to work, was treated as though she was an accessory to murder. Shame on the Justice system.
She literally testified against him. She wasn’t charged with anything
He would've sat there and let her get charged with him as an accomplice.

Yes sis!!!!! 💯💯
He looked shook, because she knocked on the door like the 👮♂️. I bet he was shook!!
I wonder what goes through the minds of attorneys who defend obvious murders.
$$$$
Same
That they’re doing their due diligence to ensure it’s a fair trial by providing sufficient defense for the client. They’re public defense attorneys because Rowland couldn’t afford a private defense, so no, they didn’t do it for the money. If they did nothing it’ll open up opportunity for Rowland to file for an appeal for ineffective defense, which can result in a mistrial and retrial, a waste of tax payers money and a burden for the victim’s parents to go through the painful process again.
They pray to get them off so they can get media attention
I wonder the same thing!!!
I feel so bad for Maria, she very well could have been his next victim.
@harry O’ that's supposed to be an insult? Doesn't matter where she works.
I just feel bad for her child.
She is so pretty! I hate that she had to go through all of this.
Totally credible. Hardworking woman, single mom to her child, didn’t have him living with her even though they were dating, he didn’t even sleep in her bed. You don’t see women like this often. I don’t blame her at all for riding in the car to get to work when she was already late, or for picking up her child in it. You don’t take your time finding another way when your child is in day care. If you don’t pick your child up when expected, or before hours are over there are serious consequences. The fact she lived out her normal routine and didn’t lose her cool with him probably saved her life!
I agree, she's hard working and seems to have a good head on her shoulders. I hope she goes far in life.
Someone needs to raise a donation appeal for this woman for being so honest. Raise $20k for her and her baby.
Yes. So she can get her own car.
💯
I would totally donate. I really like this girl … she is so genuine.
I'm on it 😊
Your a very brave, honest, beautiful woman. Thank you for your honest testimony. I believe everything you said, you deserve so much better in your and your daughters life. Stay Strong and take care of yourself and your baby girl.
I don’t know how this ended up streaming in on my TV because I don’t watch stuff like this, but now I’m hooked.
So basically blood was on her shirt he washed it but didn’t have time to dry it. This guy is a monster!!! Frfr
She’s a beautiful and poised woman. She was trying to work and raise her child. I think she’s an unusually strong and intelligent woman who’s had some tough breaks and made some bad choices. I hope she recovers from this and finds a loving partner; I hope her daughter does well in life.
@@ickarenandtim Being kind is a wonderful attribute to have;)
She did amazing! Wonderful role model for her daughter
The Defense had no answers to defend Mr Rowland the murderer ! Maria was truthful & her answers showed it. Afraid of what this killer would do to her & her daughter after seeing blood in the car. Yeah , she needs to work to pay the bills looks like the Killer didn't help her with any of those ... whatta guy. She needed to go to work & unfortunately got involved with this guy. So she used him to get rides to work. Double shifting at McDonalds to make ends meet I hope she finds a much better job in the future.

@@amc4542 exactly
Those defense attorneys are literally grasping at straws.
Straws? I can't date these women. Too dishonest and blind when convenient.
They have to. If they just sit around and do nothing, that will give Rowland an excuse to file for appeal for ineffective defense which led to a mistrial. You wouldn’t want to see a retrial & have Samantha’s parents to go through the same trial twice, would you?
These are the kind of creeps you can't have around your children.
Exactly! He could’ve done this to her and her baby girl. Luckily she found out who he truly is.
The "X" girlfriend was an important and 1 of the most credible witnesses. All, he keep saying to her "mind her business" several times and that was exactly what she did. But, what? happens in dark come to light "always"!
This turds final word was "I'm innocent, I wish y'all would've found the real killer" 🤯 He was caught driving the car, with 7.5 of Samantha's 8 pints of blood in the back. Really? Someone else murdered her? In your car? Unbeknownst to you? And you run when you get blurped by the cops? You're innocent? C'mon man!!
In my opinion, this lady was very brave sitting in the front of this killer and saying, why she thinks, he was it. I hope everyone appreciate her bravery and basically putting her finger on the Killer of Samantha. Hard working lady, 12 hours working hard for her money, while the killer....

Question Who would pay the bills if you don’t go to work ? Answer Exactly. Perfect answer
Do not rely on no man...for sure
So happy the police found him early or she would of been his next victim because she kept questioning the blood
I agree with you.
I agree.
Don't necessarily agree. One creed that some killers live by is to not kill people they know or are in relationships with. The domestic abuser/killer and serial killer types are two different breeds. And I do believe that this dude has serial killer DNA. No doubt if he'd gotten away with it he would have been on the hunt again.
Right i said the same thing .she was definitely going to be next
@@nolaguy1408 my dad is a sociopath..they use friends n family up like a door mat never being satisfied...they will kill other's whom they have no use for..but usually it wont be those closest to them in family or relations.. But a psychopath will kill any and every body whether u meant the world to them or was just a passer by..these killers could care less if they kill they own seed
That young lady and her daughter are blessed to be alive
This girl was an amazing witness !! She has no fear and that’s good !!!
She seems like a lovely woman. I really hope the best for her and her child. You can tell she ia still shocked.
@@GrannyJB no! And stay out of my comments
so...he killed her for her i phone?
ugh...
She seems more aggravated they involved her than in shock
@@james123stewart tbh I would love to know why? Also if there is no DNA on him on her, could he have just been the driver?
I love how cool,calm and collected Maria was.Good job girl!👍
This lady is a rock star. Not only putting her family and self out in danger but to help another family. I pray for her and her family’s safety. She was very lucky!
She had him there because she didn't like staying alone. She was living with the killer all along! Wow
His defense is to literally repeat everything the prosecutor said? She just drove home that he was guilty.
Defense attorney was shaken by witness not being shaken. I'm sure she thought she'd have an easy time of it intimidating witness...no cigar! Lazy attorney.
😂😂😂 exactly. Im like huh? Are you really going to just verify what's already been said, but then pop in a couple of unrelated points?? Uh ok😂🤦🏾♀️
Lol...I noticed that also I was like huh 🤔
Pretty girl! I hope she goes back to school and do well for herself. She deserves it.
My heart goes out to the young lady who lost her life her poor family have to suffer because of that lunatic. I applaud this young lady who is on the stand she is a hard worker and a standup person. I’m glad she did not allow him to intimidate her. I wonder if this was his first time doing something like this. He sitting over there so unbothered drawing cartoons on the free paper that was given to them by the state.
Instead of worrying about her missing tooth which cost an insanely high price to replace and she clearly stated she’s working as much as possible at a job that doesn’t pay a living wage much less dental & health insurance focus on helping to change that for Americans or say nothing at all! Better yet maybe just focus on the fact that she and her daughter have gone through a traumatic event & still are! Or focus on the fact that she’s doing her best to make sure he gets convicted for murdering an innocent woman! Or focus on the fact she’s likely doing her best to get up in front of the world to speak truth on crime someone she loved committed while knowing petty people online are going to judge her and insult her while she’s on the stand trying to do the right thing! So instead of judging this woman how about having empathy for her or acknowledging the courage it’s taken her to get in front of the world knowing the criticism she’s going to be facing but choosing to do the right thing regardless of that! The world we live in seems to lack empathy.
Look how Nervous he looks for ONCE in this whole case...when they call Maria Howard he Knows his life is OVER!!!! Good riddance killer!!!!!!
Thank u Maria!!!!!
The defense attorney thought that this young lady would be fooled by such a rudimentary tactic at 1:15:00
Mannnn her mug afterwards 😂😂😂🤞🏾
She was clearly trying to ruin her credibility and possibly establish conspiracy or accessory afterwards
Ik she felt stupid 😂
I admire her. Thank God she lived to tell these facts.
Brave, beautiful woman. Being so young and still working tough job and doing double shift and taking care of baby. Mindful of paying rent on time and being prepared for work and not being late. This whole depraved situation must have been extra disturbing for someone who is working so f-k-ing hard to pay bills, maintain a home, build a good life for a child.
I absolutely LOVE this woman, Maria! This is what you call a real woman!!! Maria is NOT lying about sh@%!!! God bless you My Dear! Honesty is YOUR policy and that speaks volumes about your character!!! Maria is the kind of chick I’d roll with any day!!! You were an angel, sent by God, to speak for Samantha!!! Your truth and honesty sealed the deal to convict Nathaniel, however, he sealed the deal himself. The prosecution would have had enough to convict Nathaniel without Maria, but with Nathaniel putting her smack in the middle of the murder he committed, her honesty sealed his fate!!! I wish Maria a life of love!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Jacquelyn
He made sure to ride along in the car so that she didn't search it for anything.
Dude’s writing on his little legal pad like he’s taking real notes 😂
What his lawyer are talking about don't have nothing too do with the price of tea in China, Lock this demon up & throw away the key Rip Sammie
I really admire her strong and quiet spirit. Hopefully from here on she'll have a much happier life.
Bravo, she did a wonderful job, they tried her, and she didn't break.
Foreal she kept it so real as real as it gets
But for real, she was an inch off that defense attorney's arse!! 😂😂
She look like a killer to me.
Nate's color coordinated ties and shirts ain't gonna help him no way! Nice try, Nate.
Bye, Nate!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bye 👋 👋 👋
Hehehe 😜
She is brave, courageous. How MANY OF US clean our cars wearing surgical gloves??? No brainer. So thankful for her testimony and her honesty. I’m glad she and her daughter are safe and away from this monster.
Awesome job testifying Maria. U did a great job.
Why is this defense attorney repeat everything the prosecution has asked?
Because she has no real defense.
They do this to try and catch them in a lie just incase she says something different than what she said to the prosecutors questions.
@@laker3 That’s what she tried to do. She almost caught her on the “did he sleep in your bed or on the couch” question although it leads no credence other than to try to prove her as an unreliable witness.
She thought she'd have an easy time intimidating witness simply by repeating everything. Very lazy attorney. Questions with absolutely no point.
Maria Howard during the cross from the defense is THE definition of “Bish you THOUGHT 😐”
Regardless to her front grill 😂 as many have pointed out, she’s a beautiful woman and made for a great witness.
Right! Like her teeth is crucial to this case. Probably still prettier than half of these Gremlins.
@@HoneyBee-br6hi You know it.
Didn't think anything of it with the exception that she had a gap...but still extremely pretty....and that gap worked for Lauren Hutton for years that she model....
@@HoneyBee-br6hi I like her gap! Suits her pretty face
@@ishp2 2 teeth were missing, so what
