I am a woman and was an uber driver from 2017-2019 in Los Angeles. Women: open the door and before getting in, ask the driver what your name is and have confirm that, as well as your destination. Any legit driver will say that information with no problem. I am sad for this woman. Stay safe out there, ladies.
Thank you😞
In SF Bay Area Uber changed several years ago now that now shows the License Plate Make of Car and Name of the Driver so that you can make sure you have the right driver and car. Always share your trip info from the app with someone so they know where you are and where you should be going. And be prepared to come to you if something is not going as planned. Male or female you must be aware of your surroundings at all times. You go out as a group leave as a group.
@@danafisher8613 Rule #1 and Rule# 2 If you sit down your drink you are not allowed to pick it back up! it’s over it’s finished, it’s not your drink anymore👍🏽
This prosocuter is phenomenal..Clear, concise, well spoken.
You rarely find a prosecutor who is not. It's a necessary requirement of the job.
It’s just so crazy and horrible how this normal looking dude could do something so evil. Watch yourself out in this evil ass world! You never know. Monsters come in all shapes and sizes.
Wow, that attorney just crushed this whole case!
Great opening by the prosecution
YES EXCELLENT!
This prosecutor so good I almost said Amen when he was done.....
I know Nathaniel is thinking damn. I wish this dude was my lawyer
Me too! Amen Jesus please take care of her 😇😇
I love this prosecutor. Eloquent, well-spoken
Agree and that voice is so easy to listen to. So much respect for the prosecutor who talks to the jurors and doesn’t just read a paper.
This guy could read me the phone book! Captivating and brilliant!
I can’t understand how any human being could do this to defenseless woman
This opening was so good, I didn’t want it to end. Gino’s job Mr. Byron Gibson 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Guilty Guilty !!! ...... watching from Hawaii .....
🌴🌊🌴
Me too
Guilty as SIN!!
The audacity of his family and friends asking for him to get let out on bail on that zoom court appearance, after knowing this evidence! They should be ashamed of themselves!!😡
Exactly and for them to say “he always been a good person he’d never do nothing like this”
@@ACEKYNG_ right!!! 😩
IKR. Would they be saying that if it happened to them.
@@juliemarshall7913 nope
I just wonder if he was let go , how save his family and friends would feel around him.???
Excellent prosecutor.
Is that pos smiling under his mask?
The prosecutor is amazing! He’s clear, specific and engaging!
Best opening statement I've ever heard.
I put it at the Top 5.💫
…and I’ve watched many trials, definitely one of my top 5 also 🏆
@@mea1831 You should watch Eddie Chase's closing in the Jennifer and Joseph Rosenbaum trial. It was a masterpiece!
@@laurajackson2429 thank you, I’ll definitely check it out! I’m always down for a great closing.
@@mea1831 It was a masterpiece!
I hope this young woman gets justice she didn't deserve what happened to her. Women please be careful when ordering rideshare late at night.
Anyone should be careful getting into a random car. Through a ride-share or not.
Wow from the evidence in that opening statement...this guy is screwed 😳
Lol that's what I said...He done!
The crazy in this case is there is no DNA trying him to it. He had no scratch marks and it wasn't his DNA under her fingernails. But they said they found none of his DNA anywhere in the car. That's so weird to me. He says it's his car and it is his car, how would there be none of your DNA in it??? Only thing I can think of is he had on gloves or wiped it clean like he said.
@@vickishack5139 he guilty bro...not so crazy...he scrubbed that car 20 times probably...not hard for an athlete
@@vickishack5139 - so, was there anybody elses DNA found? no? so, no DNA, no crime right? according to your twisted logic, nobody did nothing to anybody, no crime happened… just because his DNA couldn’t be found doesn’t mean he didn’t do it
@@theflyingdutchman_01 whoa back tf up. All I was telling you was what the defense came back with. NO where did I say I agree with it. Not one damn time. I said I thought it was ODD that there was no DNA. As in, how the hell can you own a car, drive it, and your DNA isn't found anywhere?? That's crazy odd to me. I by NO MEANS think this guy is innocent. I have you what the girl lawyer in his defense said. So yes I accept your apology for jumping me for something I was just stating!!!
Yeah. Wipe that sweat from your brow because your’s going down for life.
Say no more Mr Prosecutor, he's guilty as hell. He's petty much proven the case already.
Yes, great job Prosecutor! May God be with the prosecution’s team and the victim’s family!
Powerful opening statement by the prosecution. That poor young woman. 😢
That's not just an opener, _that's a kick the door off the hinges, and bustit wide open_
All state are you in good hands... I like this lawyer voice
Lmao yesssssss!!! 😂
Shirt and tie dont make the man... hes a killer...
This sicko left every drop of a trail of *EVIDENCE* _bred crumbs_ possible.
Except his dna
Except Semen....
😝
This was a great prosecutor well done on opening!
Bye Felicia
Uber has a shady reputation as it is, the LAST thing that the company needs are criminals pretending to be Uber drivers. The drivers here, call out the person's name BEFORE that person gets into the car.
Same with Lyft here they always say my name once I’m walking to the car they put their window down and say my name … if not I check the license plate and I’ll say their name but that’s rare unless I see two of the same cars by each other which may happen when I go to
The mall
@@Sakyagirl We KNOW this, so why are you telling us what we already know?
@@Sakyagirl You need to read my comment until you understand that I NEVER implied tghat she was murdered by an Uber Driver. Do you think that you can handle that? What is wrong with you? Learn English
Unfortunately that is not always true you have people who use their friend's accounts to get rides or a family member's account so of course the person is not going to know what the driver looks like the make and model of the car the license plate of the car....... its very very dangerous to do that for the driver and for the passenger
@@ariawilliams7422 where I live uber apps show the drivers picture, if it doesn’t match your dumb to get in. Not to say the victim is dumb at all, I think the Uber apps functions different based on your state and country.
And his loved ones are so confident that he is a good boy..🤭
This case annoys me because it was a complete senseless murder.
99% of them are senseless. My mother was murdered without a motive.
I think he wanted to do something to her but panicked and resorted to killing her instead. Sad af
It was for Sex!
A very good articulate prosecuter.
💓 THIS PROSECUTION DUDE IS AWESOME 👍💪
YES 👏 PERFECT 😍
Samantha ♥️ Rest In Peace Angel 🕯
How refreshing to listen to such a clear , concise & cohetant rrndition of the facts deliveted so beautifully . A rare hapoening ....a-j h
Totally agree..bravo
That poor innocent girl thinking that was her driver..... the whole Uber/ride share things scares either driving or riding alone as a female. Heart breaks for her family I cannot imagine my child being taken from this world by an act of violence💖💖💖
As soon as I heard about these Ubers, it scared me. Too risky! INSPECT WHAT YOU EXPECT EVERYONE, not just females! This is a good way to rob people too! 🤦♀️
I never ride alone. I take Big Shirley everywhere I go.
This guy is sooooo guilty it's funny
I'm catching up. What's the evidence?
@@jacks4009 listen to the video lol...the evidence is HES DONE!
Yes he’s screwed BIG TIME!!! His whole family sounding like total fools defending him
Such a sad case, I hope for some peace ☮️.
Imo, this prosecutor has done proved his case... He is gooood.
Right! I'm sitting here saying he's guilty as sin already. Say no more
What's the point of him wearing a mask when his nose isn't covered...smh
He doesn't have alot going on upstairs...but the judge should have caught it.
His nose isn't covered and he's wearing a mask
Wow, he is going to need God's mercy after this opening. Excellent and stellar opening. He repeats the defendant's full name at least three times to subliminally have everyone including myself to remember his name and personalizing him as the person who is associated and the reason for this crime, according to the prosecution. 💯
Can we get this prosecutor to work with the one in Idaho against Chad and Lori daybell? The two of them would be unstoppable forces.
Yeah because 50 states all share the same Bar Association, and lawyers are now travelling journeymen. Ugh
He's a monster
Surprised he isn’t wearing glasses!
And a wheelchair.
Wonder if this guy ever killed before? Brutal and calculating to do for the first time. Poor girl
If he hadn't killed prior, he'd done a few dummy runs, building up to now.
Good point
Shots fired from the Prosecution!!!
I love the analogy the Prosecutor used about the snow to explain the evidence and the law. Eddie Chase used that same analogy in the Rosenbaum trial closing.
Wondering what he’s done previously?
Hasn't got a record at all they said at bail hearing
@@pieface8032 kind of not buying it; just never caught...?
@@Rock_Girl_Daze you would want to believe that someone that is charged with such a terrible crime has led a terrible life. Sadly people can do horrible things that you would never have seen coming
@@pieface8032 thanks 😊
You wonder if there are other victims.
With all this evidence just in the opening statement he’s guilty as hell.
This prosecutor is very very good. I’m impressed.
I agree.
Our world as we know it has changed. People like this have to be punished to the full extent of the law. He (defendant) doesn’t belong in our community. Pray for the family and friends of this poor girl.
Dam this guy is good (prosecution) Defence is crying.... do what he done to him twice please...or give to the victims farther
Ive always felt that shud be one of the punishments available.. let the victims family have a go and if hes still alive after, he can serve the rest of his sentence in prison!
I have a feeling the prison population of murderers wud not rise
I think the victims father should be allowed to give him his own version of the death penalty or pretty close to it.
I vote handing him over to Father, and any other person who knew this poor woman to help. Daddy may need a rest.
The actual truth of what he really did would be priceless. The witness didn't seem very pleased at all.
His Mother and brother have stated at the hearing for his bail that he was at home with them… we have heard that one before!!
My parents love me and have always thought the best of me even though they knew different, but no way In hell would they lie to give me an alibi regardless of whether they believed me or not!
Actually they said he was asleep at a party. Who the hell goes to sleep at a party?
@@vickishack5139
No his alibi is that he passed out at the party and someone else took his car his mother said he was at home!!
@@vickishack5139 I know(sorry I knew someone RIP Colin 🙏) someone that once fell asleep at a rave in a massive bass speaker! It happens.
@@pieface8032 Our Society is shaped by the irrational fears of the White family structure and it's institutions. They put 14 year black boy on the Electric chair. The whole time refused allow to his parents to see him during his incarceration and B.S. trial.
Has he been charged with a Hate crime?
If not, why not?
Why would it be a hate crime he was an opportunist freak who saw an opportunity and took it because the passenger or his victim did not do her homework or ask the person that she was using their Uber account what the car's license plate number would be before she she got in his car
@@ariawilliams7422 because of the color of the deceased, his affiliation on social media to hate group's, and the amount of degree of the crime being blood thirsty and of hate.
My prayers are with the victim's family and friends.
Anyone gets up and says this guy is a good son would be delusional imho.
The true scary part is; he could be a great son, the issue is how he moved in the World. One doesn’t have to have anything to do with the other. He was not a good Person moving through the World. Most people who do evil things often times live a dual life, a life those closest to them they hide it from and keep those lives completely separate until they are not.
Woooo Baby! The power this prosecutor/solicitor exudes is so dominant.
Yes 👍 I totally agree with you! Thank you
I think it’s just his voice
I am impressed by this clear speaking attorney.
FYI: That is a term considered racist when referring to a black person.
@@trv4926I'm sorry. It was meant to be a compliment. I came from the Jennifer Rosenbaum trial with Attorney Mull who couldn't even keep the two girl's names straight...she did not follow a timeline & jumped around so my mind was a mess trying to keep up.
I will keep that in mind in future comments. Thank you for not beating me up over it.
I missed opening statements, but caught the first witness. Simply enthralling. I can't for the life of me imagine how the defense could possibly have anything to say. And the relatives of Rowland insisting his innocence? Totally bizarre to say the least.
I watched him intently and noticed his huge hands. She must have been petrified.
This is going to be one heck of a trial!
Emmet Till is not just once case of injustice. It's just a good example of morally bankrupt system.
@@WithoutRemorse12 You're commenting on the wrong video son. This is about a man who picked his victim and kidnapped and God knows what before taking her life. Not a innocent black teen that was a victim of hate in America's darkest age.
The prosecutor has a voice straight from the gods😍
And his opening statement was fantastic also 👌
isn't he something else? couldn't agree more with you
Reminds me of Morgan Freeman....
Frightening that we have so many monsters in the world.
Clear, concise, and seemingly genuine. Hopefully that will continue throughout the trial because this defendant truly seems guilty just based on the released evidence. I feel for the victims family as well as the defendants family. It’s hard to wrap your mind around someone you love can be that evil.
And to think, this man went to church. God will surely punish him now. Watching from England.
god should have prevented this pos from killing an innocent woman in the first place - that’s what god should have done, but he didn’t, did he?!
@@theflyingdutchman_01 We all walk our own path and are responsible for our own actions.
@@reemee3701 - ah yes, apologetic rethorik… god works in misterious ways… if something good happens (which it rarely does), god did it - if something bad happens (like all the time), god didn’t do it… will people ever get over this stone age shepherds superstition…
Organized Religion has been morally bankrupt for decades. They basically cosign wars now.
@@WithoutRemorse12 - if you check out the history of the catholic church you will find that this institution has killed and gruesomely tortured millions of people over the past two millennia… the biggest and most criminal organization that ever existed…
Why?
The ‘glove’ will fit this Defendant …
I love the black prosecutor in the royal blue suit. He speaks so well. Sorry, I missed what his name is.
Byron Gibson I believe I head!
What an outstanding Prosecutor!!! I love how he explained circumstantial evidence!!
what do you think happened to the legit uber driver?
He testified today. He canceled the call.
@A Ahmed he stated in the stand today, that he tried to call her, I believe 2 or 3 times. When she didn't answer he kept circling the area. I believe he parked for a bit and then canceled the ride. I listened to so much testimony today. If you download court TV'S app, you can watch it on it. I'm sure they have a rewatch one. They brought him in, investigated him and he came back clean. Not the same car either, as this killers.
@Christine M that's what it looks like to me
But, How come Samantha confused the Vehicles then!?
Drunk maybe....
wtf man if she got into his car and he wasnt a uber driver whe the hell didnt he tell her mam your in the wrong car. i must dont get how hes gonna explain this even if someone stole his car why tf did he run when he got pulled over.
Finally a voice of reason and truth!!!
Too bad she wasn't thinking more clearly to get the correct description of the driver and his car from the person who ordered her ride for her, that was not smart or safe!
Strange. I have multiple bank acc.s plus a W.Fargo acc & thats what's weird cuz after a couple of tries & they fail they auto block your acc log in & block the card so how could he try 9 times ?
Easy case..
That's what I thought until the defense spoke. They said not a shred of his DNA was found in the vehicle, and no scratch marks in him. DNA that was found they say wasn't his!
This guy is so guilty
They only do this to not be denied certain rights
He knows hes going down
What a lame excuse
"It wasnt me....."💦🏌️🤺🚙🔪🔎🔫🪚
The rest of his life on a iron bunk bed
Perfect 👍
Happy to see a black man trying this case so no one can cry RACISM Black privaledge
You're caucasian and can't spell. Wtf
@@kommonsense771 neither can you. *common
@@kommonsense771 lord she spelt one word wrong. Grow tf up!
I couldn't agree more!
commenting on this case, and not being of color, will be seen as racism automatically… the attacks starting to roll in already…
What's the difference between a prosecutor and solicitor? Did not realize that state used different terms? Or can they refer to themselves by any title?
He is impressive. Class act.
With over 100 defense wounds sounds like a crime of hate did he kill her because she’s white. What a horrible nightmare for her and her family. Prayers for the family
Are you asking us if he killed her because she's Caucasion? How are we supposed to know?
@@enlightenedone8874 his girlfriend Maria testifies against him.
It would be national news if it was white guy killing black women and no doubt called hate crime without any factual evidence of if it was or not a hate crime. Automatic because the media loves the criteria needed to make national news attention and white victim isnt important in there eyes. Just a normal killing is how it is looked at. Say im lying please you know its truth and your the problem if you doubt me.
He killed Her for Ass....
It was a Rape Attempt, no Doubt!
I do not believe it was because she was white. He picked her specifically. I think he was stalking her.
This poor girl died a horrible death. I hope she gets justice
What a vile monster! Have fun in prison!
I like this prosecutor
Lifers don't die fast enough lk their victim's did 💯
That is 100% guilty. Just sentence him.
What was motive ? I don't understand people how can they so brazenly take innocent life's
Crime of opportunity.
Sicko. There doesn't have to be a motive in a sick person's mind.
Sex!
Like. A. Boss.
May God help us all in this guilty until found innocent system.
All prrrayyyze jebus chrast! Looks guilty to me--
Guilty!! Period.
I wonder when she realized that something was not right? She never used her phone to call police. And it’s weird that her phone was powered off but his kept pinging like he was driving. How did he get her phone to turn it off if she was in the backseat?
Maybe he grabbed it and turned it off...
@@bellaellena2989 yeah he probably snatched it from her before she realized she was in danger. Because if she knew, I would imagine she would be in the corner of the backseat trying to get out somehow
Maybe he asked if he could use her phone.
@@marjorieschultz5735 yeah, that’s possible too. I feel like if she was scared, she would huddle toward the door. I can’t even reach my hand in the back seat if I’m driving. So either she willingly gave it to him or he snatched it out of her hand while she was unaware and looking at it. I can’t think of anything else on why she wouldn’t dial 911 from the backseat besides him taking her phone before she even realized this guy was bad.
@nicoleasm1 He used the child lock door option. Once she was in she couldn’t get out. I think after he killed her, he turned off her phone.
Never use ride share, with strangers
She had NO CHANCE. She was his prey. So glad they locked this monster up
To Samanthas family please know our heart is breaking for all of you .This monster should of pled guilty .he’s a cold blooded murder and will not see the light of day except his 15 minutes of a large dog cage for the rest of his miserable life
This attorney is a class act 💜
I knew they refused him bail because there is evidence to suggest that he was the one that did it...... But the idiot said somebody took his car keys when he was passed out and murdered the victim!
Prosecutor has an amazing voice
I really like this prosecutor. I love his voice. He's also very well prepared, concise & articulate. 🙂
I thought that Occam's razor was about a cat in a box, being both dead and alive at the same time? At least that's what Sheldon told Leonard on the Big Bang Theory
That’s Schrödinger’s cat.
Occam's razor is about getting rid of the crap 💩
@@haileyoslund OHHH LMAO you are so right, thanks so much, either way it is completely anti-feline LMAO
That's why it's not a good idea to have a friend call a ride for you and use their Uber or Lyft or whatever account to take you where you need to go. it is extremely dangerous when I was driving Uber I used to be pissed off when someone named Carmen or Maria or any female name would call for the ride but then some dude with climb in my car very dangerous, it's not safe at all!! I tried complaining to Uber about it because I thought that it would be very dangerous for me. Of course Uber didn't care because they were making money regardless of whether I was safe or not that company sucks and they don't care about your safety!!
What a monster! Hope you get what you deserve!!
That guys twisted my God 🥨
He's guilty as hell
This prosecutor so clearly described the circumstances of this horrible murder. It definitely was the defendant's Impala that Samantha entered. Those cameras don't lie! I hope she gets justice. This prosecutor, I believe, speaks so eloquently. There is clearcut evidence of the defendant's guilt. Anxious to hear trial.
Nice stretch awaits him
Wow, great opening. I don’t care if there is no DNA. He is guilty. Lock him up for life.
He was circling like a shark. Then, he came in for "the kill." It was premeditated, proven by the child locks being engaged, making it impossible for Sammy to get out of that savage's car. Give me two minutes alone with that thug. I can promise you, knowing what I can inflict/do, he would not come out of that encounter alive. I would have ZERO regrets. South Carolina would be thanking me for saving its tax payers a boat load of money.
It's called "BEAST MODE." When it's turned on/engaged, NO ONE CAN TURN IT OFF. Trust me on that.
IF ur gonna wear a mask, wear the bloody mask..... A chin bra does NOTHING, here's hoping karma may bite !
Wearing it over your nose and mouth does nothing either...
He forgot the pre-meditation of his crime! Doesn’t that make it 1st degree murder?
She could not check the car tag number lol wow people gotta understand the sherries business when ordering a car .
