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.

    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🌟🙏
  • @carlwilliams6977
    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! 😂
  • @foxylady9110
    I don’t think I’ve ever been so sure of guilt so early on in a trial…
  • 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
  • @ashleysmith2509
    The only thing wrong with this case is he didn't get the Death Penalty.
  • @sallystar1003
    This case has gripped me. Such a waste of a precious life. They did such thorough work
  • @noodlenikka
    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.
  • @sydludwig1826
    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.
  • @scottleaves
    Todd Schenk is very impressive. Very articulate and knowledgable.
  • @cherylvictor4314

  • @sarahjones3338
    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!! 🤬
  • @ta_reesa1251
    A hat with "cold-blooded" worn by a killer when he chooses a victim and steals her life. He's COLD BLOODED. For sure!
  • @kerrydavies9968
    Rowland looks like he's spending most of his time yawning!
  • @shawnmaguire1491
    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'.
  • @missdai9613
    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
  • 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.
