- Prosecutor Byron Gipson laid out the case that he says will prove that Nathaniel Rowland killed college student Samantha Josephson.
The prosecutor is so good...and his voice is soothing so it makes it possible to listen to such horrific details of a young woman's murder. I hope for justice for Samantha and prayers for her family.
Soothing clear yet commanding,You could believe you’re listening to a film narration,unfortunately we’re not
I believe there are other victims some where, as this ain't this evil devils first hayride,but maybe his last!
The judge was no slouch either.
I Totally Agrees 👌🏾👍🏾🙂
He doesn't look remorseful or scared. He looks heartless. Imagine the evil that poor girl dealt with that night.
This prosecutors voice is very easy to listen to , well spoken .
Soothing
I notice that too. He has a very deep manly voice with good confidence. His voice is dominant, then he has a good vocabulary, good charm to make you want to listen to the case even more. Guy is very good at his job.
@betterthangoat i bet your comment is irrelevant 🤡
His voice is soo soothing . His partner is a lucky girl!
He has what is called a radio voice.
That prosecutor is intense! He did a great job delivering that opening statement.
I make my 42 yr old daughter call me when she is out at night and takes an Uber home and talk to me the entire time she is in the car until she gets home to her kids.
Aww...You sound like my sweet mother ❤️❤️❤️
This woman took an uber
That is so very helpful to do to discourage crime while accepting a ride: Calling someone before entering a Uber or taxi and describing the car. While inside, stating the address of point of departure, the name of the driver and company, and continue to talk until arriving at destination. Thank you for this clever idea. May you and your daughter take care and be safe.
YOU ARE THE BEST.
@@joannecoyne3892 no she didn’t dipshit
This Prosecutor is so POWERFUL ! He could be in MOVIES.
Modern Morgan Freeman
Yes I agree , the whole prosecution team did an awesome job...??
rather see he and his team before this judge cleaning out the swamp and ALL of our corruption , dereliction of duty and disregard for our Constitution and values that our country were founded on!
thought the exact same!! he's such a badass
I didnt even think about this.....
but I feel this in my soul.
I love the fact that the prosecution team is Black, nobody is gonna scream racial bias against the evil SOB who brutally murdered an innocent girl. That was someone's beloved daughter, not an object of his sadistic and evil desires. May her soul RIP. 🙏🏾❤
Forsure if it were a white man who killed a black woman they'd automatically put him on death row no questions asked its a sick sad world we live in.. this monster didn't even get life without the possibility of parole with all of the evidence against him even the judge called it a mountain of evidence supporting the fact he killed this beautiful angel and he will almost certainly be back with his family before he passes she never got to see her family again.. the racist biased is against US not black people im sorry and obviously i know there is racism in every race i love all people good people of any color! But we have let them vilify us and now look what is happening in this world cops are being persecuted for doing the job they were hired to do. I pray for our world
@@bethmiddleton9711 He wouldnt get parole tho.... So its 99.999% he will spend the rest of his life behind bars
Dont be fooled. We have had many of the masters favorites in the past. These were the ones who harriet Tubman HAD to kill. But in this case this man is a monster. Black or not.
@@bethmiddleton9711 LIES! Since when does a White man get the death penalty for killing any Black person, man, woman, or child!!!! When?
@@bethmiddleton9711 He will not get parole though. He definitely deserved the death penalty! They did not give him death penalty because they could not prove premeditation, it was more an opportunist murder because he didn't know her beforehand. I hope her family finds comfort in knowing that he will spend the rest of his life in jail and he's probably someone's "girlfriend" in jail.
That’s a damn good opening statement!
Powerful
Man. I remember making a dumb choice to get into a car with TWO men. Fortunately they took me to work. But omg. I couldn't imagine that fear. Thank you Jesus for covering me. But rest in heaven Samantha.. so so sorry 😭
I did that too once, I was late for work and I missed my bus. I paid this guy 20$ to take me to work. I was praying he wasn’t gonna go the wrong way and kill me, the whole ride was awkward
@@ashiajohnson1740 wow. It's crazy right. Some people who do that never come home. But we did. I never did that again. Except for the occasional online dating meet up. But I started taking my own cars after a couple mishaps. Lessons learned
So sad, no fault though, wish someone had stood by her side for a Uber ride.🌷
I was very foolish as a teenager, we use to accept rides from strangers. I am grateful to G’d that nothing too crazy happened. My heart goes out to Samantha‘s family.
I've done this. But it was a guy in my neighborhood so I felt safe but being I didn't personally know this man it could have gone wrong. I had no one else and I had to get to work. Couldn't miss work because I had my disabling mom at the time. Couldn't get those lights cut off. I made sure to get my car fixed ASAP.
Excellent prosecutor Laid out that case perfectly. He has a voice of authority. Loved how he continually used the perps name to imprint it in the mind of the jurors. So very well spoken,he is obviously well educated. So very impressed with his opening statement. Good job
I agree!
YES!!! EXACTLY... I can't stand it when Newscasters done REPEAT an offenders name, OVER and OVER... When reporting criminal behavior!!! This Dude was SPOT ON!!!!!
Everyone that is watching this, please understand how desperately important it is for all of us to assist each other to stay SAFE! These heartbreaking stories are repeated far to often. A woman alone, comfortable, happy, and and then GONE! Take self defense classes, wear clothing that you can move easily and quickly in. Carry a weapon, and stay ALERT! DO NOT assume that a nice person is not going to hurt you. Be careful, do not let YOUR story end like this!!!
I have always been against guns in my life but when I see these cases my mind is really changing on that.
Keep you and your loved ones armed at all times. Anyone can learn to safely handle a gun, and use it to defend themselves.
@Claudia steinwald Very well said god bless you 💖 stay safe and expect the unexpected
Always be on your guard and always have a weapon even something that you don't think is a weapon can become a weapon so use it as a weapon it could save your life keys
High heels hairspray nail file anything you can get your hands on if you can get hold of it use it and again all you beutyful woman out there stay safe ❤️🇦🇺
@@heathermac4024 Exactly, Heather. We need to realize the WE are our own FIRST line of defence! How we dress, how we conduct ourselves, the environments that we chose to put ourselves in, who is in our space, how much we drink. We can and must controll all of that. Plan ahead, KNOW what to do if you are approached, practice your plans, so that you respond quickly. You are right Heather, anything can be a weapon. BUT, do not wait to "get your hands on it", have it at the ready, KNOW what you are going to do. It is better to feel like a fool, because you over reacted, then to not be around to feel like a fool. If you chose to use accept a ride from someone you do not know, be on your phone and give the person you are talking to the license plate number, in front of the driver. if they get offended, so what? Be alert and aware, do not take ANY chances. Pray for wisdom and guidance.
The uber bears some responsibility and so did the poor victim. Uber cars should be more uniformed like yellow taxi medallions. The picture of the driver and his family should be sent to the rider beforehand and there must be some kind of 2 step verification process before getting into the car. It shouldn't have been that easy. The victim in this case I don't know if she was a little tipsy or not but when it's dark outside, and a black car with black windshield rolls up at you, and the driver looks like that, an alarm should've been ringing in your head.
This was not his first victim but it's his last
I felt that too. Hes done this before. Gotda** coward.
I doubt he had done this before, he was too clumsy and opportunistic. However, he was extremely brutal for a person who's never killed before. Had he not been caught, he would have definitely killed again.
I definitely agree. I firmly believe he's killed b4. MONSTER!
@@Tee1312Jay Yes agreed. Sloppy as hell.
Senseless murder committed by the world's dumbest criminal. He was literally arrested the next day, it typically takes some time to link strangers to murder victims.
It's amazing killers are still dumb enough to leave their phones on. Law Enforcement will always check phone tower cell pings. As long as that phone is on, it's a tracking device that law enforcement has full access to. Thank god this man was so unbelievably stupid as it allowed this case to be solved almost instantly.
Not the dumbest, Chris Watts was caught hours after his murders, too.
@@pingman4297 Chris Watts was the husband and he was arrested 2 days later. Obvious suspect is obvious.
@@pingman4297 Well with Chris it took about 36 hours which is admittedly short but nothing like this dude. It wasn't until Watts side piece went to cops that they realized what was likely happening. Without her turning on him, it might've taken even longer.
As tragic as this is, I have definitely thought he is the dumbest criminal ever! I’m glad he’s caught because of some of things the judge said & his possibility for being/becoming a serial killer. But why would he go back to the scene of the crime 24 hours later & keep the I-Phone?
Why are there such evil people in this world? RIP Samantha...
What you believe to be “people” are in reality just host bodies for spirits to occupy… some people are filled with the Holy Spirit, and others are filled with demonic/unclean spirits! See the parable of the wheat and tares, not everyone is as human as they outwardly appear to be!
I was actually in an Uber last night in which the back doors had to be remotely unlocked by the driver in order for me to get out. Surely this feature should be disabled in these ride-share vehicles.
I’m glad they got him off the streets!
@betterthangoat there are more of you ?
Me too! He probably would of become a serial killer. So creepy and evil !!! 👿
I wish all crimes could be tried this way regardless of color, wealth or creed.
They are lol
That part 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@nodustflyzone only in a perfect world not ours
And that is exactly what BLM is about!
It will happen under Gods kingdom Jesus taught us to pray for. It will bring true justice to ALL mankind. Then each individual will have to account for their actions. It will be the perfect justice system and will weigh the scales of justice in an even handed way for all. Revelation 21:3,4. 3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
The cell phone has become the snitch in this whole case, thank God for that fact, this savage deserves to be put under the jail.
Time to stitch up them snitching phones 🤣
I know someone who was kidnapped by the cab driver and stabbed MANY times (40 ?) and left for dead (perhaps other, too) in Thailand (working for Red Cross I think). The perpetrator was HUNG even though his victim survived.
@@onion6foot I am sorry for the horrible nightmare the surviving victim endured... to be stabbed is heinous...a Crime if violent hatred inflicted on the victim... My heart breaks for Samantha Josephson and her loved ones.... I am in tears imagining her last moments of terror by that demon Nathaniel.
@@SC-uq2jf Yes, to think of your child's life ending that way. So defiled. I suffered extreme chest pain for at least a month over something that was done to one of my girls. I have trouble with the human race in general. To love one another is a really TALL ORDER that I am failing, thus far.
Like the internet, technology devices are UNDEFEATED.
This prosecutor is on a different level. Brilliant and experienced. Such an excellent job. This guy is complete evil 👿 I pray Samantha rests in peace! My prayers and heart go out to her family and friends. Such a senseless tragedy!!
This man is a predator. I have not one ounce of empathy or sympathy for him. Too bad we no longer have the gallows.
Or the electric chair.
Gas Chamber Pine Oil heaven 😡😡
Wow! Prosecutor is amazing. Dignity personified. 💐💐💐
I can bet his reaction through the entire opening statement was "Damn! how did they get to figure all of this out.".. His entire movement for that morning tracked to the very second. Job well done prosecutor 👏🏾 RIP Samantha 🕊
Is prosecuting attorney is very details very organized very meticulous and very good at what he's doing
And a great voice.
Yes, his voice!
He’s sitting there looking like ,”why am I here”. Like he just woke up and don’t know what’s going on
Yesss!! 🤣🤣
He claims he is innocent and he has his mommy convinced he didnt do it..... DENIAL !!!
Narcissistic
@@debbieleerepscher2549 thats what I said, cognitive dissonance. this is a funny comment tho i wanna lauggh but not
So you have Super Predators pretending to be Uber drivers stalking young women at bars. You can never let your guard down.
...never relax
Absolutely!
Sadly yes...
Some Folks in this World have sick, twisted & incomprehensible demoralization!
There is a pattern to these heinous crimes. I won't say it because I could get banned. Shows how insane it is.
That was one great opening statement !
I'll never understand how a person can, with no threat, purposely, take another person's life. You didn't give that person life. God did. Why would you want to face God's wrath?
Evil, just pure evil
Amen
How on earth did he feel entitled to take her life so viciously and senselessly? A true monster. May Dear Samantha Rest In Peace. 😭😢😥
He obviously isn't afraid of God..because he is a Devil..
I LOVE how the judge and prosecutor are black so he can’t say they’re being racist! What a well spoken man and he delivered eloquently!
If anything, the judge made it very clear through his little diatribe, that he did not want to have to punish his fellow black man, and that it pained him greatly to do so, but he was obligated to do so because of the crime committed. That bothered me. 1) It should be very easy to sentence that monster to life in prison. He deserves no sympathy, and the judge spent half the sentencing lamenting the fact that he had to sentence him. I wonder how that made the victims family feel. And 2) I wonder how people would react if a white judge were to say how painful it was for him to sentence a fellow white man from his town, who had been convicted of murder.
@@properpooper157 your wrong , at the end . The just said this was easy
@@properpooper157 but the judge wasn’t sympathetic to him in anyway!
Agreed
Wise choices by the county lead prosecutor.
Why waste the court's time, the jurors time and the taxpayers time - Just throw him down a "Crocodile Pit" and call it a day. Now that is justice!!!
I get what you're saying but that would be a easy way out for him.
@@Bob737 Not really..., being eaten alive by some hungry Gators or Crocs? Now I would pay good $$ to watch that live in action. Im more afraid how he will most likely be released early for "good behavior" anyways, with the DemoRATS in Power & how they are letting all criminals back out on the streets :/
The simple rope and tree is all that's needed for this despicable POS.
How about dunking him in a tank of beef extract. I mean totally immersing him from HIS head to HIS toes and then putting HIS butt in a cage with about six hungry lions. (Sorry buddy, we'll take that knife). Set it up like the dunk tanks at carnivals. Charge a fee. Part of the gate could go to off-setting the cost of the production. You know you can never have too much extract or boulion these days. The rest goes to the family. The family. And if the victims' family wants to participate, their balls are on the house compliments of the state. Broadcast it live, free, from mid-field at a large, sold-out, packed stadium. Have the up-coming dunking schedule looping on the giant Megatron along with clips from some of the years' best maulings. This could be the center piece of a possible award winning documentary showing man and animal working together in the 21st century. Yeah whatever. It's about what's gonna happen to yo ass if you do some dumb ***t like this.🥩🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🙊.
Then, would WE be wrong?
Can we get the prosecutor to provide audio for books? I swear I could listen to this man read the phone book.
Heartbreaking.
I LOVE THIS ATTORNEY!! THANK YOU!
Thank God for those Cameras at that 5 points.. Mr Gibson you and your team did an awesome job. My Condolences to this family.
Women should Never be alone in this wicked world.. it’s too dangerous! Prayers for Samantha’s family 🙏🙏🙏
Women need to not have to be afraid. These so-called "men" are the ones who need to be dealt with.
Take some self defense classes, you'd be surprised how relatively easy it is to fight an attacker when you know how to effectively defend yourself, and where to inflict pain of your own on the creep. ...and you'll learn some offensive moves as well. And anybody can learn, kids, elderly people, et al.
I think it wouldn't be a bad thing to teach kids the basics in school, tbh.
I also think there should be parenting classes in high school, I believe it would not only give people valuable skills that seem to be lacking in a lot of "parents" these days, but it would also cut down on kids having babies, but I digress...
they shouldn't .. anytime I see a female walking alone in the street I cringe .. sadly in the world we live in, you just can't do certain things and have to take certain precautions

This prosecutor is awesome what an opening statement
The prosecution team did the state and the country very well. God bless them and the victims of this revolting and senseless crime.
My daughter's and I always track the ride share the entire trip, we also check the car color and license plate if it doesn't match we don't get in(I've had it happen and wouldn't get in the ride share). My heart goes out to this young lady and her family 😢
Amazing what you poor women go through, this is unacceptable
I do the same, but I also ask them their name to confirm it in the app or ask them who they are picking up befor getting in. I usually FaceTime someone and talk with them until I get home. As of now, I no longer use rideshares. I’ve had too many scary scenarios

@@annechris2677 Yes, an upstanding citizen.
Defiant punk.
It is very powerful that the prosecutor keeps stating defendant's full, including middle name. Imagine her realizing he was not Uber and how she suffered as she was stabbed. My heart breaks for her and her loved ones.
Isn’t it hard to fathom how someone can do something like this? It blows my mind. And for him to say without any hesitation or remorse that he’s innocent is wild. It’s like some people are literally possessed.
@@cardbored_ Scott Peck wrote a book after "the road less traveled" that outlines his studies of people and emotions and his conclusion is that some people has no soul. The book is called "people of the lie". Its unimaginable what this monster did to the victim. She was doing everything right in life and to have met her end so violently, affects me deeply.

This prosecutor is everything. Excellent!
Chilling opening statement..
Dag‼️ After the opening - case closed‼️
If he was innocent, why didn't he go on the stand and say where he was, who he was with, etc. proving his innocence? Obviously he had something to hide, but he will have to answer to God.
A defendant would need to do more than SAY they are innocent. Sometimes they actually present evidence supporting their innocence but they are convicted anyway: Jonathan Fleming was convicted of a murder that took place in New York City. Fleming said he was actually at Disney World in Orlando and the defence showed video at Disney World. Fleming was convicted anyway even though the prosecution could not produce a plane or train ticket proving that Fleming left Orlando, arrived in New York City to commit the murder then arrive back in Orlando. Unfortunately, Fleming could not produce a phone receipt that proved that he was in Disney World 4 hours before the murder took place in New York City. After Fleming served almost 25 years in prison, a Prosecution Integrity Unit found the phone receipt in the prosecution's evidence. Apparently, when Fleming was arrested, the police removed the receipt from his pocket and gave it to the prosecution--who was happy to send an innocent person to prison. One point for the prosecution: the prosecution could have destroyed that phone receipt...and Jonathan Fleming--an innocent man--would still be in prison today.
@J R The Central Park Jogger case is even worse: 5 young men were convicted of an awful gang rape when the prosecution knew that the DNA retrieved from the victim did not match any of the defendants. Now all 5 defendants who were teenagers when convicted confessed to the crime. The true perpetrator had to confess to authorities several times after he met one of the wrongfully convicted defendants in prison and there was a DNA match. What really made this case grievous is that the true perpetrator raped more women and killed two women after assaulting the jogger in Central Park.
He had no defence. Credit to his defence team. They were trying to make an Apple look like an orange but we all know an apple is always going to be an apple just like it snowed while we were inside and it's on the road.
Her DNA was found under his fingernails
@@carlinbrumback8931 That is very good evidence of the defendant's guilt coupled with evidence of a tracking system that his cell phone and the victim's cell phone traveled together. What evidence could he come up with to overcome that? One wrongfully convicted person said that if you are indeed innocent, you must prove your innocence from the moment you are accused.
I Hung on his every word. Felt a pang of sadness when he promised to say one more thing, then get out of our faces. Even that was... It just was.
His eyes irritate me. Ugh! Killed an innocent woman cause he is evil.
He was glaring at the family throughout...sick bastard. Wish I can stick something in those eyes.
Me too on both comments
Great opening statements Sir.
This is so sad. I'm disabled and I always tell my friends I live with were I'm going when I take an Lyft/ Uber.
His mama sure picked him out some nice shirts and ties!! I bet he’s never dressed that way in his life
There is no kind of clothing that can help him from looking so very ugly because of what he did.
His legal team did that picking... they are out to change his outward appearance!!! Trying to fool someone...
The scary thing is, he may have dresses like that in real life. That people with education, class, good clothes, can be monsters
I'm sure he has as he is a college student.....
Lol. Quite unassuming in those clothes
Ohhhhmg .. this guy is so smooth
The devil used him and laughed in his face.

@@alexkulka8578 no one can take accountability apparently, even when it's something this bad.
Guess I’m obsessed with this case and don’t understand why death penalty was not an option for this heinous type of crime because SC does have the death penalty.🤷♂️🤷🏿♀️
They should have kept it on the table until he confessed and pled out. Would’ve saved the cost of a trial and got the same result, life in prison. Idk why either, would like to hear the reasoning.
@@redstateforever he’s so arrogant and psychotic, I don’t know that he’d have ever confessed
@@redstateforever there is no death penalty so to have suggested it would have been illegal and they don’t need the case thrown out on a technicality.
They do have the death penalty in SC. I wondered why they didn’t go for it either.

Well done, prosecutor Gipson. Interesting use of Occam's Razor.
Yes, but where did Occam keep his razor, and how often did he shave?😉
That poor girl must of been so scared. And the way he murdered her was so heartless. My heart goes out to her family and may she rest in peace.
Very good prosecutor. Such a sad & horrible tragedy. Love & Prayers for the family of this sweet lady..
Why why why!!! Did he set out to kill someone random that night? Did he know her? Why stab her over her entire body? I have so many questions!! So evil!!!
This open statement was handle with professionalism. I learned so much from the opening statement and trail.
Truly unbelievable
To someone so innocent and harmless
That’s just pure evil
I’m so heartbroken
The murderer isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
Neither are his parents saying their son is innocent.
@@jennywinget1144 I think, at least I hope, the parents were more in denial, some defense mechanism because the truth would be difficult to deal with, especially his mother.
I hope he demanded that Samantha give him her ATM number and she gave him the wrong one.
Amen and when he went to each ATM she was giving him a big F You!
I believe he may have tried to guess the PIN based on info obtained from her ID. He probably tried some combination of bday and or address hoping to crack the code.
He tried 9 times and failed. That makes me so damn happy !
How this man can still claim his innocence is as insane as what he did.
That Prosecutor is very professional. Im impressed!
They got all the Evidence and he still denies WOW the Prosecutor is on point for the TRUTH reveals itself statements on point
The Judge and Prosecuter on point with the statements for its an insult to the judges and prosecutor denying the TRUTH WOW wow
I know it is painful that we lose a life in this case. But isn't it sweet when the law yanked a wicked person from among us? Who knows how many innocent lives this fool has taken away. God has mercy!
I think he has done this before
I have never heard such a brilliant form of a prosicution . Excellent job Sir 👍
His voice gives me chills . Calm and calculated.
GREAT Prosecutor!!!
And I could listen to him all day. Evidence looks overwhelming against the defendant. How diabolical!
If you have a prosecutor this velvety on open, I don’t care how good your defense is you’re going down.
This guy doesn't deserve any second 🥈 chance in he's life he really deserve a life sentence prison without paroled
Or the death penalty!
Exactly
Firing squad
And he did ! He got life ! Thank god !
Death penalty❗️
This type of strong evidence, this murderer should have pleaded guilty and coped a plea deal.
There is no redemption from this………least he could have done.
Not every time can a defendant get a plea deal. Sometimes it’s not even negotiated. And really, with all the evidence they had against him, what kind of deal could he have gotten, he’ll be lucky to get life in prison.
@@meanhe8702 OK thanks.
When it comes to kidnapping and premeditated murder the best plea deal I think they would of offered him is life in prison no parole. And that’s IF they were going to offer him anything. They prosecution already said they won’t be pursuing the death penalty.
@@NewChris024 He's going to get life without parole regardless i think.
Nathaniel Rowland was trolling looking for someone to kill that night
I think the motive was probably robbery that went wrong. Mostly because you wouldn't plan on killing someone in your own car.
@@Gitn2it I don’t think it was a robbery, he had more sinister things in mind and once he realized she was gonna keep fighting he killed her.

Solid opening by the state
D'oh!!!! Nathaniel hadn't accounted for the security cameras.
That’s cuz this thug thought he was going to getaway with the murder…young thug thought he knew more than police
Tells you how dumb he really is
He didnt account for anything.
Criminals are stupid.
That's what we call a stupid opportunist. He clearly didn't plan it but went with the flow once it started. He could have just let her out, no harm done. He's a POS and is where he belongs.
What a bad luck this girl had, this monster was hoovering near her that night. We women need to carry weapons and pepper spray with ourselves always. Thousands of women are being murdered by this predators every freaking day. This has to end. Period.
This poor girl, once she got into that car, it was like a Child trapped inside a ferocious Lion Cage...This is horrible horrible horrible horrible ...just imagine how terrified She was...I feels terrified just thinking about it, Trapped with a monster taking me somewhere Knowing he is going to do something horrible to be, will I live...This Young Lady went thru it with this beast..With all the evidence & this prosecutor lying it on the Line, A blindman can see what thislady suffer at the hands of a Beast....If he was the good sweet Angel some tot him to be, he could have just say I will take u where ur goin or just said wrong car mamm, is what a nice guy wld have done....Evil monster thinks, what can I steal even if I have 2 kill u who cares........Horrible horrible horrible....Prosecutor u did a great job, I can see the torment she went thru..plus her precious family....Its hunting me....😔😔😔👌🏾💯💯💯👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
