The judge spoke so well. He shut it down. The ,man is convicted. Oh my baby wouldn’t do that. Surprising how many mothers don’t know their sons or daughters very well. Judge handles this well.
This judge at the end make a summary faithfully describing the journey taken by this murder .He rebate all the excuses made by this men in his failed attemp to negate the clear evidences of his crime. Poor mother evidently an enabler which tried to cover the actions of her son . I ask if she could even believe in her own worlds. Sad for his family too.
Sometimes the mother is right. In Jonathan Flemings case, his mother was with him in Florida four hours before the murder took place in New York City --and Fleming was still convicted. Fleming spent nearly 25 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. The evidence is the key--and the only key not facial expressions and whatnot.
@@noonecares6592 It is not the parent's fault when their child commits murder. Bill McVeigh certainly did not teach his son Timothy how to build bombs and that it is OK to kill 168 people for a cause. Timothy told his father that he was indeed guilty of the Oklahoma City Bombing 3 months before McVeigh was executed. You can bet the accusation and conviction of McVeigh was very painful for his father. There are times where the person was wrongfully convicted--and the only true believer in their innocence is the family member. The victim's family is content to believe that the convicted person is indeed guilty.
There is no bond stronger than a caring, loving father and his children, especially a daughter. I am not a father yet, but I would gladly jump in front of a blade, a bullet, a train for a daughter.
Note that Rowland's eyes widen in shock when he sees Samantha's sister. There's a striking resemblance between the two sisters. His reaction strongly suggests guilt. As the judge said, the evidence against him was overwhelming, but still nothing speaks louder than micro-expressions of guilty knowledge.
@@LisatheGreatest No, not suggesting he's not guilty. The rest of the line was cut off, I was saying 'but still, nothing speaks louder than physical micro-expressions of guilty knowledge.' There's truth in the body.
Even now with an avalanche of evidence as the Judge say's he still acts arrogant and offers no apologies, depraved heart certainly is an accurate discription of this evil
Every day. EVERY day. Every day. When you really put yourself in the family's shoes, it is unbearable. Every minute of EVERY DAY. Nothing will be the same. There really AREN'T any words to describe the family's heartbreak, our sincere condolences or our outrage that such monsters exist. Love this family from afar. Pray for them. And be kind to everyone.
He had no response even when his poor father tried to defend him. He knows he’s guilty and probably thinks his family hasn’t got a clue. Life without parole is justified.
This never goes away. The family will be haunted by this forever. Pure love to Samantha Josephson’s family! Pure sacred divine healing love. Bless them.
Hopefully he'll experience & feel the same kind pain & terror as what he did to Samantha everyday that he's locked up in prison by being served "Prison Justice" by the other predators in prison!
Or 1 cold, low calorie meal per day..sleep on concrete...id rather that then letting him out this world quick n easy...i can just picture samantha being my daughter...so infuriating
To sacrifice, to worry about them. to love them, to guide them through this life, so they can make the right choice's, and to have them taken away by a selfish evil bastard, has got to be one of the family's most painful experiences in their lives. Sending him to prison to be put down, is never enough justice
It's called Life! We are ALL going to die. 600,000 plus from Covid and counting. Doctors, lawyers, businessman, mothers, daughters and everything else. We are going away from this Earth somehow and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
The crime of murder affect everyone like ripples in a pond: the victim's family demanding justice--a paltry second prize because they will never see their love one again--and the perpetrator's family in denial or questioning (Where did I go wrong? If a son of a police chief can commit murder, than anyone can...it is the child's choice to commit murder--not the parents. Timothy McVeigh's father did not teach his son how to make bombs or that it is OK to kill 168 people. McVeigh's father was only about to accept his son's guilt 3 months before his son was executed.) The crime of murder creates pain for everyone.
So sorry for all who suffered from this matter. I've watched part of the trial online. Samantha was viciously murdered and stabbed over 100 woman. She died alone and terrified. The Defendant Murdered her. The evidence is overwhelming and all points to the Defendant. Rest in Peace Samantha.
@@chlomyster8526 yeah thats what i wonder too...i wonder if he wasn't even trying to pick her up, but when she got in and he realized she couldnt get out, he decided to have some fun with it. An escalating power high, that climaxed into a brutal murder...probably started stabbing her when she began trying to kick out the window. Such a brutal ordeal when u picture it playing out in ur head..he is a certified monster.
This man was a cold blooded killer who stood & said boldly he did not commit this crime. What an insult to the men & women who were really imprisoned unjustly. No remorse, Samantha was stabbed 120 times. Life in prison is not enough. I don't believe in the death penalty but he sure made me second guess my belief. I could not imagine my loved one being murdered, let alone being stabbed 120 times. My heart goes out to this family.
Why does Uber not have something visible on the roof of their cars. All I see is a cheap decal at the back. Christ even Dominos pizza drivers have an indentifier on the roof.
Before getting in the car, always check the model of the car AND the decal that Uber provides you for the driver to confirm that you are getting in the right car
Absolutely. Terrible. That beautiful girl into the hands of a vicious killer. I never left a bar alone as a college student. Or ever actually. So sad. False security.
Most parents and especially mother's would defend their children and not a matter of knowing or not knowing your children. My heart breaks for both families and the judge was amazing and even explained the reasoning behind permitting Nathaniel speaking to his parents and that he was cuffed.
Just want her to have peace now . Dont miss a heartbeat now . Justice will be served on this earth of ours but God will have No mercy on his soul . His Mama needs to send him a Bible and move on .
@@Mike_Jones281 Sorry but God gave every person free will to do as he/she pleases. God doesn't take that from us. People are so quick to complain about God and blame God for man's follies and evil, wicked inclinations. People will drink, get high, smoke, binge on porn, DUI, cheat, still, hate, kill, rape, molest, and do all kinds of evil but when it's time to be accountable for the actions we commit, no one wants to step up and receive the consequences for those actions. People don't try to heal or be better. We are so darn selfish it's decaying our earth. And the crazy thing is God freely gave us (no strings attached) this beautiful earth to take care of, and humans have just trashed it and destroyed it by their selfish lusts, gluttony, greed, hate, ignorance, perversions, need for power, and pride. But yes, there's still hope in Jesus Christ, which is the narrow road that, unfortunately, people don't like to take because they think it infringes on their rights, freedoms, and their reputation. People like ease so they choose to take the wide road. I challenge you to choose Jesus!! You won't regret it!!
Samantha, and her sister both, are absolutely beautiful. Her impact statement was so touching, and non vengeful. What an amazing family she has. This is just so tragic.
My heart goes out to the Josephson family. I pray that they continue to find healing . He definitely is guilty, you could see his body language change when her sister got up to speak. What an evil bastard. I hope he is haunted by this for the rest of his life!
May God comfort this family!!! Such a tragic loss!! May all these young adults be aware of things like this and try not to be out so late bc this is when there’s even more evil out.
Isaiah 55:6-9 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon
I just started watching this trial I know I am late but I couldn't watch it all. Turned my stomach watching the forensic testify. Omg just the thought made my stomach hurt so bad and I was full of emotions. They say in the blink of an eye our lives can change. I believe this truly. I pray that family have peace in there hearts and lives because this was a horrible situation....that young man has ALL of his natural life to think and regret this pour decision he made that night. God bless them all. 🙏🏾😥💙
I live in Columbia & I go to five points often (the area where she was abducted) & it’s just scary knowing a psychopath was just roaming that area looking for a victim. I feel so horrible for Samantha’s family, I can’t imagine losing a loved one in such a violent manner. I would imagine they’re all very traumatized. It just isn’t fair. 🥺
My deepest, deepest condolences to the family and loved ones. This was so senseless and uncalled for. May the peace of Christ comfort Samantha's loved ones during their times of sorrow.
My thoughts and prayers go out to this family, why are there monsters on this earth like this evil monster, I pray he gets his karma every day behind bars,
I'm heartbroken for this young woman and her family. I've cried uncontrollable tears for them and I never even met her. This is horrible!! I'm so thankful this monster was smart enough to successfully cover his crime. I would love to hear his excuse for the evidence they found during his arrest.
Sydney Josephson continue to *grow & live* for your sister to do positive things for your friends,family, & your community. Please work with young children to be better at using these driving apps. We shouldn't be afraid of our UBER & LYFT drivers because of this; & WE definitely shouldn't be afraid of our *BLACK BROTHERS.*
You know there was a trial where it was a POF date that went bad ... guy was murdered by I think 3 guys and the girl that set the victim up ... ok point is she didnt care about going to prison as long as the shooter ... horrible guy killed a young black father whom begged for his life as he got shot ... but hmmm if there was someone else he will crack one day ... nice that you had such heartfelt words to her sister .
I did not hear the judge say " without the possibility of parole", so does that mean the murderer could get out of jail at some point in the future for good behavior?
Unfortunately, I cannot understand her. The Judge should have instructed her to be clear and speak up. I realize it's not easy with losing her sister to this POS who doesn't deserve to breathe.
He didn’t just kill that beautiful child…he killed her whole family….God bless them all…..it’s just painful to watch so I can’t imagine the pain they are all going thru….
This family will never be the same. So so sad!! Imagine having a bedroom in your house that belongs to someone that will never return home?! Her clothing, pictures and all her belongings! Memories of once was a family of 4!!!! Seeing her friends getting married, having children and a career!!! All the family gatherings without her!! Life will never be the same for no reason. It's heartbreaking how everything changes so suddenly just because a demon thinks he has the right to take someone's life!!!!
Is this the animal that took the life of the young lady who mistakenly thought he was her Uber ride? The Judge presiding over this court is the best. How he shut the mom down was what is needed. He wouldn’t entertain her saying her son was innocent .
Prayers for this family and their loss .. no amount of time for this evil person can take their hurt away but at least we know he can’t hurt another soul ! 🙏🙏🙏😇God has her and pray for some closure and relief !
Sometimes we don’t know the experience someone had with a race, a community or movement. Even though nothing justifies hatred but some experience help to understand what build their hatred.
This thing should be sent straight to the electric chair!!!! He sitting like he matter, he doesn’t matter he’s evil and vile!!! To kidnap and murder this young woman over 100 times is incomprehensible!!! Not one moment did he act remorseful!!!
I can't imagine the horror this poor girl must have felt when she realized that she would never get outta that car alive. So much evil in this world, it's almost impossible for me to fully process it. I know it's been a while and I pray that time has allowed her family and loved ones to move further from the pain. My heart goes out to them. Be safe every1 n God bless. ✌💕
Justice has been served. I do not agree with the death penalty. It is wrong. Mr Rowland should spend the rest of his life incarcerated in a 5 x 8 cell with one hour rec each day. May our Heavenly Father provide mercy and healing to both families involved.
I agree... a crime this extreme wasn't the first horrible thing this man has done, it's just the first time he got caught & as sure as the sun's coming up tmrw his mom & close friends know he's a scoundrel & weren't surprised at the news he'd been arrested.
This guy is alarmingly without any recognition of the crime he did commit. I would guess he's a psychopath down to his bones. As such he has undoubtedly dismissed responsibility for the murder and all the other crimes that pave his way to the present. Oh yes, he is competent and fully understands his crimes are crimes. It's just that he is special and does not live by rules and circumstances dictated what happened, not his dark heart. How could such a person be reached, let alone reformed? He has lived in his vacuum for his entire life and there is no atmosphere which would resuscitate his dead soul.
