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.

So eerie (& horribly sad) seeing her blood soaked clothing 😢
The defenses closing argument said the state did not show Samantha’s nail beds or hands, (“because they didn’t want the jury to see them”) when indeed the state has. Was the defense asleep during the showing of these exhibits? 🤔 That poor young lady…she was defending herself, clearly.
My god you can see the mountain of evidence in the courtroom
The killer was making notes about idk why. The evidence was overwhelming and pointed to him. Nate is a killer.
Haha! The note taking kills me… it’s like wth are you actually writing? I swear he’s prob just doodling 🤦♀️
I don't know what he could write. He is obviously stupid. I have never seen so much evidence except if the person were caught in the act.
He just should have said he’s guilty way too much evidence on him and his car is the crime scene
@@kimzeiger8350 they get a pen and paper so they can communicate with their attorney, without disturbing the proceedings. They’ll usually write any questions down for their attorneys etc
He’s making notes because he thinks he has a chance of getting away with this because he has a legal team and not just a public defender 🙄
He’s “writing “ like he’s thinks he’s got something to say!! LOL
Nothing
As a woman I have always told my kids to be aware. And I sometimes have to remind myself, but I carry something at all times....day night evening home etc.
😭😭😭.
I think the attorney tells them to write to help them reacting to what they are hearing.
He thinks he's smarter than the prosecution
He probably writing I should have watched how to away with murder stupid
To see her clothing soaked in blood 😢what an animal he is. I truly don’t leave my house unless I really have to, it’s scary out there.
Same!!! I live in Dallas and last year a girl from Seattle came to Dallas to visit a friend. She went out to a night scene area called deep Ellum. Left with some guy and she missed her flight/went missing. Just this year they found her body in a wooden area. Reminds me of this case
@@amyq6229 Thats so sad. The times where we were free to go out and have a good time are gone, it’s best to be safe and just stay home. There is more evil than good out now. Stay Safe Amy Q 💜
@@ericaquick7157 you to Erica ❤️
@@amyq6229 thanks love
@Jean juju psycho freaks happened and frequent drug use.
Literally a mountain of evidence. This guy is toast day 4.
Bmbbmbmmmm
I CAN'T IMAGINE THE MOTHER'S ANGUISH. I HAVE A SWEET BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER AND i WOULD JUST DIE IF SOMETHING SO HEINOUS EVER HAPPENED TO HER. I HOPE GOD EXTENDED HIS HAND AND COMFORTED HER (SAMANTHA) DURING HER TRANSITION. RIP🙏
Please stop writing in all caps on the internet.
@@ChavonJWrightget over it.
I would never hire Gwyneth Paltrow as one of my defense attorneys.
Is this a death penalty case? I know they haven't executed anyone in SC in a long time. But if he kidnapped and killed her it seems like it should be warranted.
"Prosecutors have indicated they would not pursue the death penalty"
The family was happy with a Life Sentence... He needs to suffer.
We’re ALL carrying GPS trackers on us daily… called smartphones. Shocking how little a lot of ppl know about the power of their devices. I guess the morale of the story is don’t be a criminal 🤷🏽♀️
Mr. Demon sitting there writing things down as he realizes hes totally screwed. Hes feeling it and doesnt know what to do with himself. I hope his prison life is miserable, i hope he has a very hard time adjusting too. He will be forgotten except by his delusional parents. I also hope its a very long drive to the prison for anyone wanting to visit him so they wont want to make the trip. I hope hes very lonely there.
Literally writing nothing. Using the Derek Chauvin Fake Doodle Technique.
@@kayp.3832 don't forget Jodi Arias. She used to color or doodle a lot.
Sounds like the words of a rap song…. 🤔 - wouldn’t it be interesting if the judge asked what it was he was writing down? Anything in his own defense??? 🧐
Every time he starts to write he just.... draws a line. Its driving me crazy. Just put the pen down and listen.
i feel like the Defense Attorney is asking questions, just killing time!
Not very organized...probably not very experienced.
They are on the defense now, building up to there offensives’ strategies which is to Create doubt based on forensic evidence or DNA
@@DOLsenior I think attorneys need official approval in order to work on murder cases, but watching this defence attorney I could well be wrong.
Basically just an overview of what the prosecution went over. What can they say???? Done ✅
There is not much the defense can do at this juncture. Facts are facts. All they can do is try to say the forensic collections were not done right. It sounds like the witnesses collection/investigative practices were quite professional and pristine.
Man this case was tied in a bow and dropped off at the prosecutors doorstep 🤦♀️ he pretty much did everything that you should never do right before and after committing a murder…. 🤯 the pieces just fell right in place.
Yup she really was at the wrong place at the wrong time too. So scary
Did you see her shirt? When they held it up. They couldn’t determine the original color because it was soaked in blood and the color was red.
So horrible.
It was a peach shirt
Showing the actual light colored bralette was so smart instead of just the picture it really said 10000 words and gave the jury more of a visual reality which they say makes it more real than words or pictures
This defense I CANNOT 🤦🏼♀️!! No.. of course the ME and others weren’t wearing gloves during the autopsy 🙄. I’ve never heard that asked! Why does she only make statements of what’s been said or repeatedly state the obvious?
All she’s got!
Agreed, but if that's all she got she would be better off not asking any questions at all
She has nothing else to say in his defense. Pathetic defense.
How unprepared the defense seems to be. Watch his appeal will be bad counsel representation.
@@texasmamaw6555 poor representation won’t win an appeal with all the evidence against him.
The defence is actually so bad, I thought they were working for the prosecution.
There not bad at all they just dont have anything ,the Evidence against him is overwhelming, there just going thru the motions so they can collect their Cheque. ( Cheque, British Spelling the correct way. )
His defense attorneys are struggling. They have no case.
She’s completely regretting every moment of it. She knows he’s guilty but she probably had no choice but to try to defend him less as possible as she can
All the evidence is circumstantial.
The prosecutor did not prove he was the driver. The prosecutor did not prove he was the killer.
It seems as though the only defense that they are trying to develop is that there was contamination by the people who collected evidence. That is the weakest defense, and sadly the only defense. They were meticulous when collecting and transferring evidence.
It was ludicrus because touch dna can be transferred but this case had actual blood everywhere. You cannot "touch transfer" blood inside a suspects fingernails...worst defense ever although to be fair they didn't stand a chance.
That blonde girl is horrible.
Learned a lot about cell phones
I dont know what brands of Android mobiles used in US, but the phone of the defendant and his girlfriend, are rubbish, it might popular ten years ago.
The defendant is seen writing a "note to self".., Avoid members of the Aryan Brotherhood in prison.
I want to know what he was writing on the strip he put in his pocket! It’s almost as if he would write something each time it was only a witness as if he was keeping a “list”
Everyone is so polite. I'm amazed
Let me save everyone some time, just skip the defense segments. There’s literally zero meaningful arguments made. Its not their fault, they just got the worlds dumbest defendant who refused to plead guilty or make any deals with the prosecution.
This trial must've been the only time in his life that he wasn't committing a crime.
So sad. I hope she receives justice.
Why tf does this monster get not 1 but THREE court appointed lawyers?! 😖
Horrific such an angel gurl ahhh my 💔heart is broken what she endured from this monster
Good of the prosecutors to embarrass this man by putting out his web search history while making a point that he wasn't asleep at the time he said he was. I'm not sure it proves anything other than that but it was really funny
OMG...YES! everyone wears gloves!!
At 37:21, he put a period on the note pad. Kind-of saying " It's done'.
Okay, by the third item, I feel like she couldve gotten the hang of item number then description, for the record. 😮💨
The look on the police behind the defendent when the bloody shirt was shown they looked sickened but Nate didn't seem to show any emotion at all except for looking guilty.
I saw that too
This guy is going to be found guilty, they have the dream team on the prosecution side😂😂
Nathaniel also made they're job go very smoothly ...
To be killed with such an implement is horrifying. Why would he do this? Robbery? I don't even think that she was assaulted. (Other than with the muli tool) Did he just set out to attack someone? Ugh. Subhuman. He should be treated EXACTLY as he treated her!
The mom said she only had $35 in her account smh not his first time doing this
Hate crime
I think the prosecution team is awesome .
Put this evil monster away ….
Because of EVIL like this/him, is WHY I CONCEAL CARRY!! And yes I do know how to use my GLOCK!!
I think the young attorneys get to cut their teeth in some of these trials with the easier parts.
It's because the ENTIRE trial is easy..
This kind of trial is perfect for both new prosecutors & defense attnys to get trial exp. Most people don’t realize how rare trials are in a prosecutor & public defenders career. Close to 90% of all convictions r the result of pleas.
It’s experience.
He’s Writing Goodbye Notes 2 FREEDOM👋
He will be able to be alex murdocks best friend another that says he's not guilty and there's plenty of evidence he did this
WYA: where you at
That car ride was a nightmare , smh. he didn't have to do all of that.
He's insane, can't be his first time
Anyone else listening to this who has misophonia? That envelope opening... 😣 LOL!
Omg that is the worst sound ever
Monster!
Milwaukee's finest ladies and gentlemen.
What's with the lady in the box with the vacuum in her mouth???
She’s the court reporter.
It's a stenomask. I had to look it up too. I watched the video on how it's used.
"...(chuckle)... and somebody would talk to theirself [sic] for a minute and 41 seconds?"
Dude. This defense, after spending 5 hours searching a record while everyone waited, is just embarrassing. That's not a "gotcha!" moment. That's an "are you kidding me?" moment.
And this judge looks like he was up all night, every night, and just does not want to be bothered.
Someone was MURDERED.
I think it's because the judge at this point, already KNOWS this POS is guilty , and there's so much evidence that he probably is just ready to put this man in prison now and stop wasting time and resources. It's probably hard too, to know her family is sitting there suffering through it all, the judge knows this man is a monster.
Lol, add your timestamps in!
BUMMMMM
Move on councillor
*counselor
Anyone else noticed that both sides interrupt witnesses like crazyyy? 🤦🏼♀️
Her shirt 😭😣😪
"WYA" means ..where you at
Young prosecutor in slow motion >_
I bet this isn't the first time hes kidnapped and murdered someone....
At least, building up to it.
Watch Natalielawyerchick channel on RUclips’s video about this case. In her video she says something about a case a year prior to this one where he’s been implicated in kidnapping and robbing another girl. I’m not sure if he has actually been charged with that or not though. She was lucky and lived.
I bet he's murdered before, as well..
@@carolfaycox06 I'm convinced this isn't his first time..Cannot believe he's gone from 0 to stabbing that poor girl 122 tines then dumping her like rubbish. He showed no hint of any emotion at all during trial...what a psychopath.
@@lisetta5052 i will do thanks.
But why did he kill her? Did he just randomly and impulsively slay this lady? Is he an inspiring serial killer? Does he have other victims?
No reason to kill her. I highly doubt it was his first time
Im sure it was his first time because he is an absolutely terrible criminal. Maybe he tried to hit on her at the bar and got turned down. He probably just wasnt expecting her to fight him, which both scared him and bruised his ego.
After showing so much evidence that was collected at the autopsy ..all the defence lawyer had to cross examine and ask was did u wear gloves..did your assistant wear gloves omg lol
He needs to to rot in prison
What do you guys think the motive was? Doesn't make sense..IDK am I missing something 😕
I asked the same question in the last video. I can't figure it out either. It's not like he was a classic serial killer who had been assaulting but not murdering women yet and then he finally started murdering. What's in his history that would indicate he is capable of murder?
Seems weird.
@@BurroGirl The cctv of her getting into the car at Five Points seems odd. He pulls up and she just gets in. That was a dumb move on his part. Maybe a serial killer was stopped in his tracks?
Robbery of course
I think when he pulled up and she just got in the car, he just went with it. Something he'd already had thoughts about??? Unfortunately, I think the situation just presented itself. I hope for the maximum sentence for this monster!
The defence lawyer take the stand and she wants to make questions.
But she is not ready and we waiting minutes! Why is she not prepared well????
And I also wonder why the prosecution didn't ask the witness if there was a text message, or something like that, that shows that pure Samantha called from her phone an uber!
You don’t call an Uber
@@NicoleKe I said texted, or something you do by your phone generally! I know that we don't call an uber!
@@alexjofdeci They already admitted a document showing she’d ordered Uber from her phone & the driver had to cancel the ride after she didn’t show up after approx 10 mins. (She was already in the defendants car)
@@maryb6672 yes, of course I know that! Anyway, I thought the prosecution could have asked from the digital forensic self phone analysis what text messages or else had been made around the 2.00 am crucial time. There is also the testimony of the real uber who has testified in the beginning of the trial!
Her blood soaked clothing 😢 the original color of her shirt was peachy color seen in the video of her waiting for her Uber.if his motive was robbery, why didn't he just rob her.he had a hoodie, bandana etc to disguise himself. He didn't have to kill her.
Why didnt he take a plea deal?
With all this evidence there probably wasn't any offer.
He was hoping the ex would be charged
@@snailbellonthetrail982 apparently he was offered one, 30yrs, he said no. I'm not totally positive just stating what I've read
Narcissistic mind had him thinking he could beat this .
Alleged murder! I don't think there was any question she was murdered.
Testimony begins @ 23:53
You’re an angel!
I'm confused why you think it starts at that time?
00:33
Sorry. When they initially post the video, it’s not edited yet. My comment was for those that watched the video before they came back & edited it.
@@emoliver80 it was originally like that, just the image of the gavel (or whatever) and empty space. I had to fast forward to that point too but it was edited afterward. The edit occurred while I was watching it. I rewound because I lost focus and the video was funky for a minute. Then, voila! The video started over.
When he was arrested he look like he had been smoking crack
Absolutely. I always said he killed her in a drug fueled rage. Only a drugged fool would go right back to the place they committed the crime.
@@1975rozita you’d think he’d have to be on something to do what he did. But arresting officers found just marijuana if I’m not mistaken. I would think there would be other evidence like a pipe or something if he had been using hard core drugs.
@@jamieshealy8677 Did they ever say he was drug tested? I'm so curious to know what made him stab her so many times. It's overkill. I guess I'm just looking for a reason when it may just be the initial makings of a serial killer.
@@1975rozita I don’t think they released anything of that nature. Unless they found evidence of paraphernalia that may lead them to drug test him. I personally don’t think it has any relevance to the cause though. I’m convinced he planned on robbing her, once she fought back he went into full panic mode. He knew if she was to get away, she’d report him and he’d be arrested. Why he thought it was a better idea to kill her and dump her body near his kinfolk, now that I’ll never understand!!!
This blonde defence attorney looks like she is conducting an orchestra.
He is covering up for his friends who helped him.
@Tricia R. they found more then one dna plus some one else dna under her nails. He definitely had at least one other person helping him. Yes he is guilty but they need to bring all who is guilty to justice and give them all death penalty
At the end of the testimonies and final statements, they asked if he had anything to say, he said he wished they'd did more to find out who actually did it. I believe he had help but doesn't want to name them.
@ܣܐܝܕ Everyone here thinks he's guilty. At this point, everyone is speculating in regards to information that hasn't been testified to. I don't think it's naive to throw around a few scenarios. We're all simply interested in the case. We are not detectives and neither are you. We aren't telepathic so we cannot speak on his behalf. We're just a group of people conversing about a very sad case. Relax
@ܣܐܝܕ how do you know why he made that statement 🤡? Lol you sound stupid asf rn . He basically blaming someone else as he did the clean up work. It was most likely the two guys who came to his gf house to hang with him. Why else would they hang with him in a bloody car d u mm y
@@RR-ty6zz I totally agree. The ex-girlfriend testified she couldn't remember the names of the two men that were at her house. I think she knows the names but isn't saying for her own safety. She's too observant and inquisitive not to know exactly who is in her home. She was in survival mode. The detectives said she wasn't killed where she was found. So how can you stop her from screaming, hold her down and stab her over 100 times while driving? I absolutely believe he had help. He was the driver and the other 2 were probably the ones who carried out the murder. He helped dispose of her body and that's why his clothes were bloody but he had no scratches.
Where is ALL OF HER BLOOD?
Soaked In that back seat of the car. Poor girl
Are you blind? The pulled out a tan bra that is so drenched in blood it's no longer tan.
He literally hacked her to death
😣😞😔
Did the cops obtain a warrent to search this man's phone?
Yes in a lot of cases like these they search people’s phones for any kind evidence or texts or locations
@@nasilamak2201 yes they had a warrant dummy! Otherwise, his defense attorney would have submitted a motion prior to this trial to have the evidence excluded and they already testified that they had a warrant
@@nasilamak2201 yes lol
@@queenesquiresquad was it necessary to call the op "dummy". Honestly, why? That's just rude.
@@GrannyJB the same point could have been made without being rude.
Those texts of Maria's are suspect.
Why does she look like that woman who was a cop who walked into wrong apartment and shot the dude? She looks like she could be related to her
I get the whole fair trial thing, I really do but what is the point of this guy wasting tax payer money on this joke?
The whole fair trial thing....
Her purple dress is too small and too short.
Most Guys are Luvin it. 😀
Her clothes are irrelevant to this case. She has the brains to put this monster away!
Her bra!!! 😳
The bralette is worse cause it is a lighter color. My god
Why was she wearing a bra and bralette though?
Prosecutor needs to get a make up lesson. That eyeshadow is ridiculous.
I think she is Hot, i Love her Eyeshadow.
That so called “girlfriend “ is culpable!!!
How so?
Why? She wasn't there. She used his car. Oh well. She needed the car. Doesn't make here involved in my mind. She asked him and he said mind your business. She probably didn't know what to do. She eventually calls the police right?
@@terryellis7692 No, Maria (girlfriend) never called the police. The investigators showed up at her home on April 3, 2019 to take her in for questioning and searched her home.
Maria was lucky she or her baby weren’t victims too. He could have killed her because she was getting curious ::::she is not culpable just because he went to her house after the murder. He used her !!! Using her house her trash can her cleaning supplies. She never hid anything from the cops. She was brave to even let him be at her house.
I have to agree. While I think she did the right thing by testifying, she knew someone died in that car and she went and put her baby in it. She wasn't scared she just didn't want to be a snitch.
He didn’t commit this crime, they have presented zero evidence that proves he did this beyond reasonable doubt.
Lmao other then having her blood on his car her phone an blood on is clothes he was seen wearing lol yeah they have nothing 😂
Oh an a eyewitness an probably gps now with her phone going from were her body was found
Girl this is just the beginning don't get your hopes up he'll get death looks like his lawyer is giving up lol
I'm not sure whether or not to take you seriously. 🤨 Are we watching the same trial?
Seriously? It's just the beginning!
