Nathaniel David Rowland, 27, stands trial for allegedly murdering Samantha Josephson, 21. Court is held in Richland County, South Carolina.
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 was in tears hearing her father's victim impact. I can't imagine how a father would feel not being able to save his baby girl from being stabbed 120 times!!!! I am so grateful for the judge doing such an amazing job!
-
His delusional mother is outright disrespectful to Samantha's family. I can't stand mothers & family members like this!
-
This judge is amazing ❤️ he was NOT having it! GUILTY AS CHARGED.
-
“For whomever asked me for leniency, yeah... that’s not in my DNA.” The Judge
-
I love this judge! He didn’t reveal much of his personality or thoughts throughout the trial, as should be the case, but he let it out during sentencing. He speaks the blunt, unaltered truth from an ethical, moral mind and heart ❤️
-
That judge made this tragedy satisfying in it's conclusion. Justice was served!
-
This is the same judge who presided over Alex Murdaugh's murder trial. He is the bomb.
-
I love and respect this judge so much! He’s the embodiment of justice!
-
At around 42 minutes in his attorney says something like "he was working towards opening his own business prior to getting arrested." Um...He didn't just get arrested. He MURDERED SOMEONE. He could have started his business but his own actions prevented that goal from coming true.
-
Well said judge you told him how it was, as he has shown not one ounce of remorse.
-
Wow I have never seen a Police Chief give a victim impact statement.
-
This juge is wonderful! He is no nonsense, fair minded and made sure the trial was conducted with dignity and justice. He is a real gentleman and a good jurist.I wish all judges were like him!!!
-
The most thoughtful and eloquent judge I have ever heard
-
The statement by the Judge was powerful.
-
Defense lawyer ""PLEASE GIVE HIM 30 YEARS" "HE'S ONLY 27, HE'LL BE WELL INTO HIS 70S WHEN HE GETS OUT"" THIS WOMAN IS A LAWYER AND CAN'T DO SIMPLE MATH ??
-
This Judge is a Stand Up Man ! I’m thankful for him .
-
Look at his labored breathing. Everything is starting to sink in. Such a tragedy for both families. His mother needs to come to terms with the crime her son committed.
-
This is the kind of judge that should be on the Supreme Court!
