- LIVE TRIAL: SC v. Nathaniel Rowland Trial - Alleged Murder Of Samantha Josephson
Prosecution Witnesses:
Direct Exam of Lt. Todd Schenk - Crime Scene Investigator
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.

I don’t think I’ve ever been so sure of guilt so early on in a trial…
I have.......Mollie Tibbets trial.
The thumbnail did it for me.
@@zealanddublin9047 great point!
Ronnie O’Neil that defended himself was a definite guilty. That was one of the craziest trials I’ve ever seen.
The Timothy Jones Jr trial. Horrendous!!
125 knife wounds. A savage. A coward. An evil, rampaging mind.
These police, detectives gathered the EVIDENCE AND WRAPPED IT UP TIGHTLY WITH A BOW! Justice for SAMI🌟🙏
When the police find a beanie embroidered with "COLD BLOODED" in the bloody trunk of your client's car, it's a bad day for you as a defense attorney! 😂
how upsetting for her family to see her blood stains on that jacket the pain that must cause them. My heart goes out to them
@Charlotte: I think of her boyfriend. He must suffer massive guilt, that he didn't call the police in her town immediately, when she didn't arrive at her home. He and her friends "assumed facts not in evidence," so to speak, that she got home okay, it was just her cell phone left behind. He must be beating himself up that he didn't call the police to do a welfare check, to make sure she got home. They get there, she's OK, no harm, no foul. But he didn't.
@@nonmihiseddeo4181honestly I really don’t think there’s anything he could have done besides going out with her that night 😔 even if he realized something was wrong that night he would have to drive to the bar,ask for the surveillance,then get the police on board with finding the car. It’s horrible 😔
This case has gripped me. Such a waste of a precious life. They did such thorough work
They did such thorough work because the evidence was overwhelming right in front of their eyes. Thankfully, the evil monster is dumb Asf!
The only thing wrong with this case is he didn't get the Death Penalty.
@TS not even close. Death Penalty is biblical, lawful and more humane than locking someone up who will never be free again.
Samantha's family is happy with a life sentence. That way he can sit the rest of his life locked up behind bars and dwell on that he'll never be a free man.
A lot of prisoners would love the death penalty to escape their years behind bars.
Would of been good if this comment was on correct video. For those that don’t know the outcome of the trial.
@TS that’s your opinion
@@BelindaS amen to that!
Notice how the monster can't look at his evil work and his family claiming he is innocent 👹👹😈👿
Is Rowland's defense going to insinuate that someone else borrowed his car and committed the murder? Yet Rowland was the one cleaning it up? Yeah, right.
Yes they tried to insinuate his girlfriend used his car and picked up this girl because she thought he was cheating on her.
@@Dspalten Oh goodness gracious that's absurd. I really hope this jury isn't a bunch of morons and can see through the outlandish lies. Every time I feel confident I remember Casey Anthony's jury. Complete idiots.
His family have claimed he was at a party, passed out & when he woke up, his keys were gone. But miraculously when he went outside, his car was there w/the keys inside. And the blood, phone etc. They said he made a mistake by not calling police & running when pulled over. If you believe that, I have some oceanfront property to sell you here in Missouri.
@@maryb6672 Oh Please they must be as dumb as him. This guy is as Guilty as they come. Kudos to his ex girlfriend for testifying against him.
@@maryb6672 Most car thefts are in two categories: luxury cars stolen to order (organised crime) or cars taken and then abandoned. Taking a car without consent and then returning it is unusual to say the least; returning it with evidence of a murder being committed inside it is stretching credibility a bit too far.
Wow Maria Howard really lucked out getting away from him. He was basically implicating her through the whole thing: blood on the daughters shoes, work hat with blood in car, letter with DNA, wet work shirt (he probably got blood on it), used her cleaning products, and then dumped everything at her home. Rest In Peace Samantha Im happy her and the family got justice.
never thought of that! he totally was
What would her motive be? Also, he DNA was found under the victim's fingernails...
When Samantha realized she made a mistake dont you know she tried to get out of Mr. Demons car but he pressed the button and locked the doors! Cant imagine her fright!! 🤬
I'm TELLING ya! I'm trying to imagine it myself getting into a car and once you shut the door realizing it's NOT the car you're supposed to be in and NOT being able to get out I just can't imagine! UNFATHOMABLE!😥💔
According to the police reports, he had the "child locks" already on when he picked her up, so there was NO WAY SHE WAS GETTING OUT, until he opens the doors from the outside...SMH
@@stephanieferrell2402 ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING!😔
Yeah this is a true monster who prayed and stalked the innocent.
This is a horrific outcome and prayers go out to her and her family. I hope this monster never sees the light of day.
Rowland looks like he's spending most of his time yawning!
this judge is a very good man stay bless sir may the good lord keep you and your families safe respect to you sir very good job
I read that he lost his son a week before this trial 😢
A week before Alex Murdaughs trial in January 2023. Son had a heart attack.😢
Every time they show him it makes me sick! Like he’s sitting there thinking should’ve, could’ve, would’ve as they go through the evidence. Smh sickening
For me it is the mini conference he keeps having with his lawyers, and his whole demeanor, like this trial is about someone else
I have to fast forward when they show his face for too long.
A hat with "cold-blooded" worn by a killer when he chooses a victim and steals her life. He's COLD BLOODED. For sure!
Absolutely
I bet he wore that hat with pride and also this isn't his first murder, either.
Freaking sick monster!
Chilling
Todd Schenk is very impressive. Very articulate and knowledgable.
Prosecution should be using her name to establish to the jury that she was a person. A young lady.....that was brutally killed...not 'the victim'.
I think because the word victim draws more sympathy from the jury maybe🤷♀️
Why not express it as "the victim, young Samantha "...
@@veronicanonica that kind of wording isn't allowed generally
@@veronicanonica the word young would not be allowed in there.
You don't want to call her by name until you get to the point in the investigation that the victim has been identified. The jury needs to go step by step through the investigation. If the prosecution is calling her "Samantha" from the very beginning it can be seen as creating an emotional bias in the jury. In a case like this where there is no exculpatory evidence or viable alibi, you don't want to give the defense ANYTHING that they can use as an appeal. The jury needs to be where the witness on the stand was. As the case develops, her name will be used more and more.
Omg look at all the envelops of evidece on table in front of witness stand.
It takes a very special person to do this type of investigating on a murder case… The look on his face when he knows he’s freaked… so funny 😂
I am so sorry her family and friends had to hear this
It’s good they don’t have digital pics so the family can’t see it from where they are sitting. This is heart breaking.
Hes such a coward he can't even look at the photos at what he's done I hope her screams haunt him for the rest of his pathetic days
He can't even think clear enough as to what to "doodle" in his little notepad in front of him, he's so traumatized and I hope it haunts him every day of his life. I hope it drives him mad
He certainly is a coward
Nope sadly not. Likely be sexually arousing for him
😤🤬🤮
@@---C_B--- wouldn't surprise me, people are so foul
He’s a big coward !!!
I live in South Carolina and I love my state but we need to update the technology in our courthouses.
Same
Well sometimes hands on is easier to see and Comprehend. The prosecutors and investigators did a superb job.
Maybe if they had fewer prosecutors and public defenders working on a single case they could afford better technology. I’ve never seen so many attorneys on both sides of a criminal case.
I’ve been watching this trial from the beginning and this defendant with his mask is driving me nuts. He just will not cover his nose. A question of power, that is how he ticks. He was told to cover his nose, he does it in every single part of this coverage. Just to lift his nose back up towards the sky. They even exchanged his initial mak. Perpetrators are ticking exactly like this, stupid mind games that demonstrate that a spoiled brat doesn’t obey to any rules. In the end of this sequence he mysteriously picks up his mask twice. Seems he is losing control.
I'm glad I'm not the only person bothered by his not covering his nose with his mask. He has power and control issues.
@@trishmccarthydavis3425 same here Trish
If Rowland is NOT guilty he shouldn't be bothered by the pictures. Reiterating that HE DIDNT DO IT. He can't look up. Very telling.
I think it is the complete opposite. He can’t handle looking at what he potentially did.
Had he looked at the pictures, you would have declared him guilty, as well. Behaviour during those moments are the weakest evidence.
🙄 that means absolutely nothing. I don’t look at gruesome photos of murders and I haven’t killed anyone. Based on your logic, maybe I killed the girl.
@@loriwallis832 I agree with you 100%
He kept his gaze on his post-it, pretending to write!
Judge Newman!! Love❤
You gotta be a real narc to kill someone and literally leave all the evidence to get caught in one place🤯🥴🤐
Or tragically stupid.
Just really FREAKING stupid, is all...
Guilty!
Since when did the court allow a murderer talk to family members during breaks. Never saw this before.
I agree that doesn’t happen in CA I know people who have been in trials
@@leighann5308 I've never seen a defendant chat with people from the gallery before.
Absolutely! I don't understand why the Judge is allowing this seems insensitive when the family of the victim is in court. This should not be allowed if they wish to see the defendant book prison visiting time.
@@cattnipp RUclips is not exclusive for Americans. In any case you better stay in the United States, which are not bing America.
Is he a murderer at this point or has he merely been accused? It looks like this is a trial to prove his guilt or innocence. Maybe that’s why.
God bless the innocent woman and her family.
Cold blooded indeed! 😡
I always wonder what they're whispering to each other
Nothing more annoying than evidence bags being opened with ear buds in 😂
I am using large headphones. Just as loud! 🤣🤣🤣
Far better than the classic court-cough
@@triedtofail hahahah so true!
Kind of satisfying in an ASMR way to me 🤣🤣
@@meltorme7356 your not the only one😅
“Cold blooded” ...even he recognizes himself
so she says there's ZERO chance he did it--so are those bags of popcorn all over the table??? the STATE was very clever putting it all on the table LITERALLY!!
Hmmm zero evidence…. Well the table is full of evidence. Zero proof, hmmm I’m thinking perhaps. Blondie should look up the meaning of zero
i feel for the parents listening to this
Omg I would be sick. He threw her out like a piece of trash.
@@terriekurney6548 is w we t
Having to see their baby girls bloody footprint image.
Why can't Nate look up at the crime scene photos being shown to the jury?
Bye, Nate!
The judge spoke about it during the sentencing. He said no killer can ever go back there.
I can't imagine being one of the hunters that found her. Hunters tend to be pretty manly men and I can't imagine coming across this young woman, savagely beaten and abandoned, alone in a cold field, left for the scavengers. I can't imagine being a man, with a gun in my hand, standing over her body and being powerless to protect her. The rage would be measured in megatons.
Why is he allowed to talk to his family over to side and laugh and joke around? I’ve never seen this before!!!
It doesn't happen in most court rooms. The state makes laws and rules for their own state. There should be stricter standards of some things from state to state.
Because he’s innocent until proven otherwise. Because he isn’t a dog or in time out.
Because he’s given the presumption of innocence until he’s found guilty.
@@NicoleKe He's not a dog, he's an evil Monster!!
@@NicoleKe so what! I am innocent and I can not laughing while watching this trial, I can not imagine to smile and be happy hearing such a murder
The irony. His cap is embossed "COLD BLOODED" 🙄
He can't believe that they have all that evidence!
I find it strange how the pics aren’t digital/electronic 🤷🏼♀️
That poor girl was tortured. This is horrifying.
I agree. It's heartbreaking to even imagine what this poor girl went through. What she thought as soon as she realized what trouble she was in. 😔
@@alisondekorsi7771 as soon as she heard those door lock and she locked eyes with him in the rear view mirror as he's wearing a beanie that says "cold blooded" on it😢 this man is a demon!
Wow this guy is guilty...so much blood evidence!!
That poor girl died a brutal death 😢😥😭
I really think he should go down as the dumbest killer of all times.. He should’ve got the death penalty.. They should put him in the Electic chair 🪑, turn it on real quick, and then turn it off.. Then yell “We was just Playing” and then turn it on full blast 💥..
I can’t believe they aren’t putting photos up on the screen like they do on other trials. How can the jury see those
They don't seem to be up on the latest technology.......
@@cattnipp That's uncalled for.
He said at the first "These are the same ones you are looking at.", or something to the affect. They probably have a larger screen by them they can see better, but we can't.
why? its the way ALL trials should be. Images NEED to be shown. @@TJ-oe4zo
My gosh
The defendant sure was checking out that jacket!!
"Striated" or "striation" just means "striped" or "in a striped pattern," as in the striated blood (pattern) on the victim's arm. It flowed down her arm in stripes (following the path of least resistance). EDIT: The blood itself isn't physically striped, just to be clear.
IF, he would have GOT AWAY WITH THIS.. he definitely would have killed again. RIP SAMI. They got him.
I feel this is not his first murder...
Why does the videographer keep the camera on the defendant instead of showing us the witness and the evidence. It’s maddening!
Exactly! It's annoying. Like we want to see the defendant's face so much.
Some of the evidence they can't show. Like crime scene photos or photos of the victim's body. In order to make sure they don't accidentally show this, they'll keep the camera on the defendant.
Yessssssss!👍
It also lets us see his demeanour and reactions to what’s being said/shown. As we watch in the media, we’re acting as though a jury so we take into consideration how he behaves towards all of the evidence and testimony
I would bet my boots that this car was uninsured, had it been insured it would have been "stolen" then burned.
….and I thank God that it wasn’t!!! He would not have been caught.
He wasn't smart enough to burn it.. thankfully!
@@jennSalvate he was kicking himself for not paying for insurance after he realized there's no way to clean all that blood!!! Thankfully this guy is one of the stupidest criminals known to man
Lt Schenk im impressed with efficient and knowledgable evidence.
Very dashing.... a pony tail wpuld be really smart
Poor girl 😢
The fact he can’t or refuses to pull the mask over his nose says a lot about him in itself. Total disregard for rules and others safety.
I’d say catching the flu from this guy, should be the very least of your worries.
Not a very clever murderer .
It's often a very sloppy error that proves to be their downfall. These days the perpetrators have a habit of buying zip ties, tape, bleach and other equipment from Walmart; they're on cctv and they often pay by credit card.
My exact thoughts what a dumb criminal he sure didn't clean up well I'll tell you what I've watched a lot of trials this is by far the most of that most evidence left behind it's unreal!
The evidence says you’re guilty bro. Have a good time living in a cage-foreve!
Is it usual to have like 5 lawyers to prosecute in the USA? Why is there so many? Also why do they not display the exhibits on a screen as they do in other states?
The prosecutor reminds me of Matthew McConaughey in the movie Lincoln Lawyer🤣
he is cuteeee
Yes, your right. He is good isn't he.
I sooo AGREE! I posted this same opinion on the closing argument video! He is an awesome prosecutor!
@@sallystar1003 yea he definitely did his thang
God bless these investigators. Law enforcement have a very hard job.
I hate that these are not in order. Hard to follow. Should have been labeled.
The officers who did the stop should not have gone into the vehicle & touched items. this should be law specially when blood traces were found to be in the vehicle. Rowland's sitting there rethinking over everything he did to her, showing NO remorse whats so ever. The evidence is overwhelming that he did it, I don't understand why his council would not go for a plea to save the families grievance, very sad as it would have saved court time.
Time, grief and thousands of dollars!
The prosecution had such a water tight case I highly doubt he would succeeded in going for any type of plea
Huh? They waited for csi and had a warrant.
She was stabbed by someone in the front seat. Stab wounds in head and right shoulder and feet. He attacked her as she was in backseat stabbing her in head and shoulder she goes to kick him and gets stabbed in feet.
I think that’s what happened. Was wondering why she would have stab wounds in those areas.
@@selitanamwinga7149 i cant believe he stabbed her 120 times. Thats beyond comprehension
in ubers do u sit in the back, like taxis' ?
@@skibeesmith5952 yes

I hope engineers can improve the child safety locks so that they're effective against children falling out but can let adults escape if necessary.
Good luck with that. Most kids can figure out such contraptions easier than many adults. My parents used to get me as a child to open their child proof pill bottles for them. But they also taught me not to eat random pills.
That probably won’t happen. However I have a small jagged edge/flashlight that’s heavy duty and is primarily used to break windows. It’s about 5” long. I keep it in my purse, and hopefully I never have to use it to break out a window.
I can think of so many ways and I’m not an engineer. Also, just teach kids to have on their seatbelts and not open doors. God I grew up without either and we are all still alive
I know this is so petty , but can’t they turn off the mic when they are opening up the paper bags with the evidence ? All that intensely amplified rustling - I say, unnecessary! Haha
Ikr😅
now i know hes guilty, he wont even look at the body photos.
Yeah, whether a defendant looks at gruesome photos doesn't indicate guilt or innocence. Many heinous defendants will look directly at the crime scene photos. Hopefully,.the jury will rule based on actual evidence. The state's case seems strong, but the defense hasn't even presented one witness yef.
Kind of like a dog that chewed up your shoe, or pooped on the floor. When you say "Did you do this?", they quickly glance at it and then continue to look down or at the wall.
@@GrannyJB 😉🤣
Wow, I don't remember that in the prosecution's opening statement describing what reasonable doubt is...
The low IQ Rolland remembered his lawyers instructions.
see how he’s acting as if he’s writing something to avoid looking at the photos. full of guilt and sick.
I doubt he feels guilt or remorse. This man is an EVIL demon
Is the strategy of the defense to simply object to every word that is uttered in the courtroom?
They will object at every opportunity, he can't claim incompetency on their part. Less chance of appeal on those grounds.
I guess I’m not listening because I haven’t heard an objection yet.
Monster
This is the most evidence I've ever seen from someone who claims he's not guilty lol and one thing ive notice that when a killer is guilty they always look down when there showing pictures of the deceased pretending to write in they little notepad smh
Forreal! Like what are you even writing down??😭
My heart goes to the Josepson family. May Samantha RIP.
Is there any damage to the car seats like from the knife used that may occur during the struggle? Anyone knows?
Good question
A hand gun in her purse could have made a big difference.
This dude was for sure writing standards “I am innocent” X100 for that delusional brain to print that in his mind.
What is he writing on that little piece of scrap paper?
This kind of person doesn't deserve any second 🥈 chance he's life he really deserve a life sentence prison
Look at him😡
Boy, he won’t even look at the photos of the body as found…..guess he doesn’t really have to since he was there.
what can he possibly be writing while listening to the horrendous crime he committed?
I'm guessing this judge has never been reversed. He's very thorough.
Ooooh he cant look up. Facing and looking forward now like usuall. What bro. You dont like your art work. Cant look at what you did. So guilty.
RIP Samantha
Yes they are going to show the evidence
He's not handcuffed that's scary.
rest in peace Samantha.
Nathaniel Rowland looks and acts guilty. He had a plan and I hope he receives life in prison for what he's done to the young lady, her family and friends in Five Points. I believe he was headed back to Five Points to do it again on the night they seized his car for evidence. SLED has done an excellent job in forensics so far. Lt. Schenk is doing a good job presenting the evidence in a professional manner.
He was stopped with a girl in the passenger seat so I doubt he was going to do it again.
@Tricia R. pretty sure it was his gf - the one that testified. I can't think of her name.
@Tricia R. Oh wow! I got that completely wrong! Thanks for clarifying 🙂
It doesn't help that it's difficult to figure out the order of the videos! It wouldn't be that hard for them to put them in order! Also, I just wanted to mention that we must think very similarly. It seemed like every time I liked a comment, it was one of yours lol.
EVIDENCE and guilt beyond reasonable doubt convicts…NOT how a person looks, acts, or what you predict they’d have done next. If you’re ever contacted for jury duty, remember this.
Wait! He gave his friend/gf a ride to work with all that blood & she didn’t call police? 😳
She said it was her only ride option and she was scared to call police out of safety for her daughter.
Amazing how he is looking at his jacket with the bloodstains.....but he could not look at the photos that were showing of her body
Yeah. I wondered that too. Actually craning his neck.
His jacket more important to him.
@@SilverLine269 exactly
why they dont have a screen for the photos?
They DON’T want the pics on the internet. That’s why. It’s very respectful.

was wondering the same thing 😬
Instead of dictating through typing like they normally do some courts have verbal dictation. So she repeats everything being said and it is recorded to later be converted to transcripts.
The shape of it over her mouth is to ensure she isn't heard by anyone else.

Things start at 6:05
Enjoy the fine cuisine in prison every day, Nate! Yum!
Who is the lady talking into the vacuum cleaner? What is that machine?
She is a stenographer for recording everything said. So everything said in court she repeats it into the device called a stenomask.
😹😹😹😹
Vacuum cleaner. 😂
I notice he doesn't look at the photos of the victim.
Were Rowland and his attorneys offered any type of plea bargain in this case? And does life in SC mean life or will he come up for parole sometime in the future? I don't believe the judge at the sentencing said anything about life without parole. I have no idea what the laws in SC are. It's sad how a person's life can end so suddenly and so tragically. Samantha's family and parents will never live another day without the grief of her death. It's a part of their lives now.
He's never getting out
I hope this will ghost him for the rest of his life whenever he sees uh lady this will remind him what he did to Samantha poor girl died unnecessarily if he wasn't guilty why don't he show any remorse he can't even look at pics of the crime that he committed now he wants to play innocent shame on u why didn't he stop the vichile and tell her he's not the uber but still he let her get in and lock the car u gonna learn ur lesson the hard way in jail u deserve to be in jail
He’s craning that neck to see his jacket
I saw that too. He was very interested in what that lieutenant was showing on his jacket
Saying goodbye to nice comfy clothing 😁
why wouldnt they show the photo evidence on the large screen?
Thinking that too. Do you think the state of SC could pony up a few dollars for a projector and join the 21st century? They have a giant touchscreen for google maps but 8x10 prints for all the evidence.
Protecting the victim and her family from voyeurism?
They won't show them to the court room, because only the jury needs to see them to consider the evidence.
He lived out his sick fantasy! Look how well dressed he is. Now he will never dress like that again! He ruined his entire life by taking a innocent life!
An emerging psychopathic serial killer!
