The audacity of his mother! As a mom myself I can understand wanting to believe that you've raised a positive individual but with that evidence, ain't no way she's thought he was really innocent... Rest easy babygirl you deserved so much more 😢
A life filled with purpose and promise gets carelessly and brutally snuffed out by a piece of useless garbage who is not even worthy of the air he breaths - these type of cases always get to me.
It never fails to astound me how fast the friends and family were out searching for Samantha. They were a coordinated team. We all should so be lucky to have love and support like that
Great research and narration, Jiles!!!! Thank you for following this case all the way to the Judge delivering the verdict and imposing sentence to this monster. Wondering when Samantha realized she was not with the Uber driver she hired makes me cringe and shiver! What is truly perplexing is at what moment did Nathaniel decide to kill her? Kidnapping a college student and expecting huge amounts of cash to be readily available is nonsense..... he may have needed money, but in my opinion, this is not why he killed her. Kudos to her family for honoring her memory by creating safeguards to the Uber transportation process!!!!
Think about how little he cared about his own mother. He basically destroyed her too. His mother was in denial. Eventually she had to face up to her son is nothing but a piece of crap.
Taxis I rode in back in the day were bad enough. A particular taxi I rode got into a DWI accident. The driver of the taxi was tossing back grandpa's cough syrup while on duty. Then, to top this off, imagine some of the late night clientele. Dive bars and stripper joint patrons. I can't imagine some of the weird goings on nowadays.
This one always bothered me because although there is rarely ever an excuse to take a life, there was absolutely no rhyme or reason for him doing this. No sexual assault, didn’t rob her, nothing! He just was out here doing some sh*t and it was just truly tragic and senseless!
You should hear the load of BS Cindy WATTS is STILL spewing against the person her p.o.s son murdered, along with HER OWN grandchildren, about whom she also appears not to give a damn that her stupid son also killed. He killed his entire family and he's upset now, because he finally figures out that Life without Parole means you're going to die in prison. Acording to him, he "doesn't deserve to have that fate, God never intended that [he] should stay in prison" for life.
Who in the fu€k told that monster wearing a red shirt to court was a good idea?!! Lawyer: “here, for court, we want you to come across as satan’s actual spawn.”👹👺 Edit: also, judge Newmann is such a well spoken judge. He sat on the murdaugh trial as well. He’s doing the good work listening to all of these horrors committed by these monsters.
I remember hearing about this case when it happened back in 2019, it was so horrible, Samantha fought so hard for her life, she absolutely did not deserved to die such an brutal death at the hands of an murderer. RIP Samantha.☹🙏
I think the thing that makes me the most angry is he never pled guilty and acted innocent the whole time...... That in itself is worse than anything to me. He did something so terrible and he can't even face it to give some type of closure. Not to mention a mountain of evidence! I'm sure the family feels just as robbed, yea he is in prison but they always have to live with that smugness that he couldn't even tell the truth, that same smugness his ignorant mother also has when she proclaimed her son's innocens, I truly don't understand how some parents are that blind to their children's crimes...Maybe one day he'll be able to be a man and not an animal and admit what he did... But until then he's lower than garbage in my mind.
You said it best. I couldn't agree with you more. The way he and his mother acted was the ultimate insult to Samantha's family. The audacity of his after robbing them of a wonderful person they love, just makes me so mad.
These stories are so heartbreaking. 35 years ago, my girlfriend’s ex showed up at her house at 2:45am, about 30 minutes after I left. He strangled her and left her in a field out in the woods. She was 17 years old. Why didn’t I spend the night? Or stay later? He’s in prison for life with no parole, but I still miss her all this time later. I’ve moved on, happily married with kids, very happy. But there’s an empty spot always present. The pain is unspeakable.
@@thisisMONSTERS thank you 🙏. I think it’s why I’m a true crime freak now. I realized long ago that you can’t use logic to understand an illogical act, but some insight into what humans are capable of is informative. Thanks for the best content on UA-cam as far as I’m concerned.
I don’t think I’d get into a bloody car however desperate. They being said , this horrible horrible excuse of a human could have taken her cards and left Samantha alone.
A terrible story..... A friend of mine owned a bar and a very drunk tourist jumped into a van thinking it was her taxi. She got ra×ed, bashed.... police tried to help her but she fled our country to get home. The guys were never caught.
What I find to be one of the more curious things is that the backseat was saturated in blood, splattered on the door and everything. Yet he had somebody in the car with him when he got pulled over?! Like what would ever motivate anybody to get in the car with somebody if the backseat is saturated in blood!
I wondered if maybe she was a street walker, and didn't notice the blood until she was already in the car. The cops said the blood was only in the backseat, and he was pulled over at night. Still though, I think I would have smelled that much blood immediately😢❤
@@caressaclark1042 she mentioned that she saw the blood and asked him about it, but he came up with an excuse. I can’t imagine she would’ve been able to see it that is so insane! I would’ve been able to smell it as well.🤢
In a way he killed his mom too, and I guess I can kinda understand why she would find it so difficult to let the truth be real. She knew it the moment she saw him the first time.
@hiddxnlxavxs3968you are a prejudiced piece of **** lowlife , not much better than the accused in this piece. Lucky for you you can hide behind your phone
Hi Jiles I remember this trial and the extent he went to cover up and denied his guilt, but everyone saw right thru him and judge gave him the sentence he deserved!! Her parents were devastated, RIP Sam ❤🙏🙏🙏
I can hit the power button on my phone 3 times in quick sucession and it will record sound and video on both my phone cameras as well as give the location to loved ones ive set up on the system. It would scare the hell out of me t9 be watching my wife/gf going the wrong direction and be worried about it seeming controlling to call or pursue it.. so sad but im glad they caught the scumbag and im happy samantha had so many people who loved her ❤
This is precisely why I refuse to ever take Uber/Lyft. No way am I getting into some random person's personal vehicle. If I can't find a ride with someone I know, I'll take a taxi. Still not super safe, but at least the drivers are fully employed by their company, background checked, and drive a clearly marked company vehicle.
Dude denies doing it but is on CCTV kidnapping her, has her DNA on him, her blood drenched his car, trash can, but sure man, you were in Montreal at the time.
As a rideshare driver (female, not that it really matters) who does drive in the evenings - ALWAYS make sure both names are correctly exchanged, it's a 2-way communication. ALWAYS keep your doors locked and a window cracked just enough to talk. I've had people just try to open my doors thinking I'm their driver, apologies get exchanged and we laugh it off, but safety is a 2-way street for both parties. My rule is one of us must confirm a name correctly, and the other must confirm the second name. If I do offer my name first, the other party has to confirm their name with me before they get into my car. I've even had a Kristen (correct rider name on my screen) get into my car only to be looking for a different driver. This horror was easy to prevent which is even more tragic - honor and respect SAMI's law. Drive and ride safe!
Okay, so the thought alone of realizing you're in the wrong car after a while... and then also realizing this monster isn't letting you go must be terrifying. I feel sorry for her. Why must people be so senseless.
How is mother in denial THAT BAD as to hear the overwhelming evidence of this poor woman's DNA under this cockroach's fingernails, the pools of HER blood all over the inside of his vehicle, and on the murder weapon, along with his phone being tracked to the bar where she was picked up which is also on surveillance, the place where she was dumped and then back to his girlfriend's where she saw all of the blood as well? Not to mention to the ATM's as well where HER bankcard was used by a masked man that happened to be carrying HIS phone??? Right...
This truly change Columbia South Carolina even to this day! Uber took such a huge hit in the city and even now people would rather use Lyft or take the bus. I’ve been here for 10 years and haven’t seen some thing affect this demographics so hard.
My daughter started at USC in the Fall of 2019. Never took an Uber, Lyft or bus. She just opted to be the DD and follow "You Go-We Go". People are still vigilant.
I watched this whole trial on COURT TV. It was so sad. I can’t imagine the thoughts that Samantha had when she realized she was in the wrong car. I am sure that she was completely terrified. However, she fought until she couldn’t fight anymore. His stupid ass tried to use her debit card without knowing the pin. How dumb he is. My heart goes out to her friends and family. Samantha didn’t deserve what she got in the end. She had a bright future ahead. He was going nowhere. Peace.
For several years I have told the females I know here in the UK if they're getting in a cab even if there's more than one of them to take a photograph on their phone of the registration plate (number plate) and the taxi licence plate issued by the local authority here in the UK and send the pictures to someone who is NOT with them. A Rozzer I used to drink with copied the Idea to spread the word too.
But that only helps after an incident. You need to make sure it's the right vehicle doing the pickup. And at night in really busy locations be extra vigilant because that's when the bogus and unregistered operate.
This is such a great polished true crime episode. Everyone watch to the very end plz. It helps the channel. Ya gotta admit short of Forensic Files, this is the best true crime on youtube. If Jiles had the Forensic Files budget, I guarantee they would beg him to air his show on tv and it would be better than most tc shows.
Thank you for putting this video together. I didn’t realize the Judge was judge Newman until I saw his face. You had said Judge Clifton and my reaction was like, who’s that?! Realizing that’s his first name lol. He’s a terrific Judge and seems like a wonderful human being. It sounds like the defendant’s mom was on his side. 🙄 Can we bring back “Get the eff out of here”? lol
17:32 Thank you for including this segment, Jiles! Whoever the expert witness testifying was did fantastic job explaining her findings in a direct and easy to follow manner. I especially enjoyed hearing her explain the process of determining the identity of the 3 doners of the DNA found on NR and the setting up of the 2 comparison scenarios. Science is so cool. RIP Samantha 💔
I remember this case specifically thanks to nearly every news outlet refusing to call this case a murder. They claimed Samantha just "died after getting into the wrong car" and made it seem like thats just what happens when someone accidentally gets in another car.
Yeah people need to stop normalising murder and scrutinising the victim's actions that have nothing to do with how they were killed. Like, hello, he STABBED her to death.
If she really wanted to help, she would have gone right to the police and report her man rather than waiting until she got caught out to start talking. If you want to look for what is wrong with society, start with her and her boyfriend. @@SmileyAdventures
Seeing as how most women, wear wigs and don jewelry today, she probably thought that made her unique. At any rate she attracted exactly who she was supposed to.
LADIES...... ALWAYS verify the Uber Driver by cross-referencing the license plate on your phone, with the license plate on the vehicle AND ASKING THE DRIVER TO verify the NAME he, or she, has, BEFORE YOU GET INTO THE VEHICLE. ALSO, ALONG WITH pepper spray, ALWAYS carry a 'hand-held, mini GLASS BREAKER! If trapped in a vehicle, and the person activates the child lock, you can use the 'mini glass breaker' device to break the glass of the vehicle, to unlock the door from the outside, or at the very least, to SCREAM out the window for help.

@@vetagainsttrump16 ..YES, "LADIES"...that's what I said and that's who I'm addressing. Don't dictate to me who I should driect my comment to! MY COMMENT IS JUST FOR LADIES...I said what I said!
Someone I was close to was killed in similar circumstances, and while talking about her recently the young woman I was speaking with mentioned this case and how the 'what's my name' campaign resonated with her - She said she always thinks about it now. That's here in the UK, years later and thousands of miles away. I think that's a wonderful testament to the people who have tried to honour her legacy of compassion by trying to keep others safe. RIP Samantha.
16:09 He was beating this woman, and I guarantee his mama was well aware how emotional and irrational he is, because she’s probably like that too, and instilled it into him. His mother refuses to take accountability for the fact that he destroyed someone’s life because it would force her to look in the mirror and accept that she was a crap parent.
I remember hearing about this case myself as well. I was in Arizona and I started thinking this is horrible because at that time I was using Uber for everything because I didn’t have a car however, he goes on to say that they passed the law and her name or her favor or something and all this identifiable stuff they need everywhere else the scanning of the barcode of picture in the back window they don’t have that and since then I’ve heard of like 5 to 6 other cases, other states, especially within indigenous womenI wish the laws were changed like that for everyone everywhere
As a citizen born and raised in SC, I followed this trial. It was a mess and very maddening. His mama showed her butt and got her butt handed to her by the judge. He kept interrupting the trial and was a loud mouth. In the end, this no nonsense judge handed him a sentence that should be written in the law books! My hat is off to the judge!! Her poor family, so very sad.
This case is literally the reason I confirm my driver's identity before getting in a car. This is the real life nightmare of being feminine. Unfortunately, that doesn't protect you against an actual driver deciding they want to do something to you -- something that has also happened to women.
In my (Asian) country we use Grab as an equivalent to Uber. They've added a recording function that starts as soon as the car arrives. I believe that was implemented after a few incidents where drivers have been robbed at knife point (we're not allowed to own firearms). Never heard of any passenger endangerment, but I still carry. You never know.
S.A.M.I-STOP, ASK "WHAT'S MY NAME?", MATCH THE TAG, INFORM OTHERS WHERE YOU ARE AND WHO YOU ARE WITH. The literal only good thing to come from this senseless and brutal tragedy and all thanks to her amazing parents.
Horrifying. Can’t imagine what she went through. I remember this case. Trifling violent monster with no remorse-destroying lives. GF knew something bad happened.
I am tripped out though. How is the girlfriend so chill sitting in a car full of blood watching him cleaning? She's not asking any questions, what is the dynamic of their relationship
This case is disgusting. *Definitely* always be on the phone with someone who can contact the police on your behalf if you are walking home or taking transit or taxi/uber/lyft. Give your friend your location and keep them updated until you arrive home safe.
She said, "I don't like being late for work." You know damn well a person that's sees blood all over the inside of her car and thinks her boyfriend, "hit a dog....." Is late EVERY day for work...
You can tell he's not the sharpest tool in the shed just by the way he wears his mask. How can he even think he will get away with this. Love this judge, did a stand-up job on the Alex Murderer case.
His mom is a sick human being. Legit caught him red handed with all the indisputable evidence in the world, and she still had the audacity to sit there and argue with the judge.
Just senseless. The fear she must have felt. Rest in eternal peace Samantha.
I don't think that knowing she fought for her life would have given her loved ones solace.
I think they are proud that she fought. Why wouldn't they be?
I think so, knowing and being proud that she fought to the end. Maybe not for everyone, but it would help me if it was my loved one.
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN It is ALWAYS "Who are you here to pick up?" and NEVER "Are you here for?" Stay safe out there.
been waiting on this one !!!! thanks you
The audacity of his mother! As a mom myself I can understand wanting to believe that you've raised a positive individual but with that evidence, ain't no way she's thought he was really innocent... Rest easy babygirl you deserved so much more 😢
Thank you Jiles🙏🏼💔🕊️
Devastating crime story. I'm massive person and normally people don't attack me out of the blue but once i was attacked... in sc. Js
His mother is the perfect example of why you cannot trust people to do the right thing.
Mothers instinctively protect their children - can't help that.
A life filled with purpose and promise gets carelessly and brutally snuffed out by a piece of useless garbage who is not even worthy of the air he breaths - these type of cases always get to me.
Hell yeah....what you just said. 👍🏼
100%. Sickens me.
Look up the murder of Reagan Tokes if you really want your blood to boil.

The fucked up thing is, by all outward appearances the monster who robbed the world of Samantha was once a promising young man in his own right.
It never fails to astound me how fast the friends and family were out searching for Samantha. They were a coordinated team. We all should so be lucky to have love and support like that
Oh yeah she had good friends, friends that left her drunk waiting for an Uber by herself!🤦🏾♂️
It’s was an honor to see Judge Newman on a case other than the Murdaugh tragedy. Judge Newman is a badass.
Indeed. And , Don't forget Judge Newman on the Johnny Depp's trial.

No silver lining, Justice.

His thought process probably was, if she can afford college, she must be loaded. Riiight.
I kno I agree.. what a sick monster.
Rest peacefully Sami ♥️🙏🥲
Mind your business?! I would have called the police so fast. Something terrible obviously went down.
Why wouldn't she be freaked out? I would be... but I also understand what she means when she said she was scared.
She was extremely nieve or just didn't care or want to know
Yeah something terrible obviously went down. That’s why she was scared to call the police and him possibly finding out about it.
The mother makes me sick. Defending a murderer. They get away with too much
Think about how little he cared about his own mother. He basically destroyed her too. His mother was in denial. Eventually she had to face up to her son is nothing but a piece of crap.

Exactly, and there is also an option where your Uber driver and you have to exchange a passcode.
Not sure if same in US, but here in UK the Uber app also shows car type and registration (‘tag’) number.
Okay, so the thought alone of realizing you're in the wrong car after a while... and then also realizing this monster isn't letting you go must be terrifying. I feel sorry for her. Why must people be so senseless.
I mean, a perfectly reasonable person would say, "Sorry, ma'am, I'm not your UBer. Sorry for the confusion!"

For several years I have told the females I know here in the UK if they're getting in a cab even if there's more than one of them to take a photograph on their phone of the registration plate (number plate) and the taxi licence plate issued by the local authority here in the UK and send the pictures to someone who is NOT with them.
A Rozzer I used to drink with copied the Idea to spread the word too.
But that only helps after an incident. You need to make sure it's the right vehicle doing the pickup.
And at night in really busy locations be extra vigilant because that's when the bogus and unregistered operate.
This is such a great polished true crime episode. Everyone watch to the very end plz. It helps the channel. Ya gotta admit short of Forensic Files, this is the best true crime on youtube. If Jiles had the Forensic Files budget, I guarantee they would beg him to air his show on tv and it would be better than most tc shows.
Ngl that mother looks like a 10 year old boy cosplaying as an old lady
Thank you for putting this video together. I didn’t realize the Judge was judge Newman until I saw his face. You had said Judge Clifton and my reaction was like, who’s that?! Realizing that’s his first name lol. He’s a terrific Judge and seems like a wonderful human being. It sounds like the defendant’s mom was on his side. 🙄
Can we bring back “Get the eff out of here”? lol
Yes! I was listening to this while on a walk so I didn’t see him but the second I heard his voice I recognized him!
@@jane5049Same lol. Judge Newman's got a very distinctive voice and pace when he speaks.
@ashleyrenegade You do realize that you can go back to Europe as well right?!
his ex, maria, is wayyyy too pretty for him.
The tooth...the whole tooth...nothing but the tooth.
That was incredibly devastating
17:32 Thank you for including this segment, Jiles! Whoever the expert witness testifying was did fantastic job explaining her findings in a direct and easy to follow manner. I especially enjoyed hearing her explain the process of determining the identity of the 3 doners of the DNA found on NR and the setting up of the 2 comparison scenarios. Science is so cool. RIP Samantha 💔
Make sure the license plate match up with your Uber on your phone. Stay safe everyone. And R.I.P to Samantha. Nonetheless.
I remember this case specifically thanks to nearly every news outlet refusing to call this case a murder. They claimed Samantha just "died after getting into the wrong car" and made it seem like thats just what happens when someone accidentally gets in another car.
Yeah people need to stop normalising murder and scrutinising the victim's actions that have nothing to do with how they were killed. Like, hello, he STABBED her to death.
Crazy
That's not how it was here in Columbia. It was always a murder and we were all heartbroken and downright angry.
I say some version of this about every episode: This one is... extra horrible, and I feel all sorts of negative things about it.
Watch out for your friends, whoever you are when you are out late and drinking people 😢
Hello fellow aussie monster squad....perfect time to snuggle down and watch another great case.
Hope xmas was great for everyone💙🌲🇦🇺
@16:08 Instead of buying wigs, eyelashes and jewelry, how about investing in a front tooth?
I was thinking the same. She's an attractive woman, and would be more attractive with a full grill. Forget that expensive wig.
This comment is gross given the context of the video. You’re focused on looks and not her helping the case. This is society I guess. Smh.
@@VincentWilliams007 Misplaced priorities
If she really wanted to help, she would have gone right to the police and report her man rather than waiting until she got caught out to start talking. If you want to look for what is wrong with society, start with her and her boyfriend. @@SmileyAdventures
Seeing as how most women, wear wigs and don jewelry today, she probably thought that made her unique.
At any rate she attracted exactly who she was supposed to.
Good day! How is everyone? Have a great weekend!
Have a great weekend too ☺️
The mother helped make him a murderer.
How so?🤔
UBER gives the passenger a license plate number, right? if so, she needed to pay attention.
LADIES...... ALWAYS verify the Uber Driver by cross-referencing the license plate on your phone, with the license plate on the vehicle AND ASKING THE DRIVER TO verify the NAME he, or she, has, BEFORE YOU GET INTO THE VEHICLE. ALSO, ALONG WITH pepper spray, ALWAYS carry a 'hand-held, mini GLASS BREAKER! If trapped in a vehicle, and the person activates the child lock, you can use the 'mini glass breaker' device to break the glass of the vehicle, to unlock the door from the outside, or at the very least, to SCREAM out the window for help.
Not just ladies..
@@vetagainsttrump16 ...don't impose YOUR VIEWS onto me. I said LADIES and I meant LADIES. You can post your own comment to address who you want. Quit being a comment dictator. I do not subscribe to your brand of foolishness. Carry on with your miserable, condescending pr!ck, arrogant, pompous @$$ life.
@@vetagainsttrump16 ..YES, "LADIES"...that's what I said and that's who I'm addressing. Don't dictate to me who I should driect my comment to! MY COMMENT IS JUST FOR LADIES...I said what I said!
Poor girl. She was gorgeous too. What a waste.
Someone I was close to was killed in similar circumstances, and while talking about her recently the young woman I was speaking with mentioned this case and how the 'what's my name' campaign resonated with her - She said she always thinks about it now. That's here in the UK, years later and thousands of miles away. I think that's a wonderful testament to the people who have tried to honour her legacy of compassion by trying to keep others safe. RIP Samantha.
16:09 He was beating this woman, and I guarantee his mama was well aware how emotional and irrational he is, because she’s probably like that too, and instilled it into him. His mother refuses to take accountability for the fact that he destroyed someone’s life because it would force her to look in the mirror and accept that she was a crap parent.
exactly. trash raising trash
I remember hearing about this case myself as well. I was in Arizona and I started thinking this is horrible because at that time I was using Uber for everything because I didn’t have a car however, he goes on to say that they passed the law and her name or her favor or something and all this identifiable stuff they need everywhere else the scanning of the barcode of picture in the back window they don’t have that and since then I’ve heard of like 5 to 6 other cases, other states, especially within indigenous womenI wish the laws were changed like that for everyone everywhere
@@amityislandchum Totally unnecessary comment.
@@amityislandchum Asking too much. 😢

As a citizen born and raised in SC, I followed this trial. It was a mess and very maddening. His mama showed her butt and got her butt handed to her by the judge. He kept interrupting the trial and was a loud mouth. In the end, this no nonsense judge handed him a sentence that should be written in the law books! My hat is off to the judge!! Her poor family, so very sad.
This case is literally the reason I confirm my driver's identity before getting in a car. This is the real life nightmare of being feminine. Unfortunately, that doesn't protect you against an actual driver deciding they want to do something to you -- something that has also happened to women.
Carry! Get a cwp and carry.
In my (Asian) country we use Grab as an equivalent to Uber. They've added a recording function that starts as soon as the car arrives. I believe that was implemented after a few incidents where drivers have been robbed at knife point (we're not allowed to own firearms). Never heard of any passenger endangerment, but I still carry. You never know.
If this doesn't give a death penalty, then what does?
Absolutely! I agree 100 %
How does a person go around looking for someone to hurt? But then that was a monster not a person!
If only we could stop the monsters before they commit monstrous acts.
THERE WOULD BE NO BLACK MEN HANGING FROM TREES, NO BLACK WOMEN GETTING BABIES CUT OUT OF THIER STOMACHS.
I remember hearing about this case because of his mother calling this case a matter of mental health, the nerve of her.
Ooooh...I remember this one. Horrible. 😞❤️🌹
What a complete waste of space. That poor girl.
S.A.M.I-STOP, ASK "WHAT'S MY NAME?", MATCH THE TAG, INFORM OTHERS WHERE YOU ARE AND WHO YOU ARE WITH. The literal only good thing to come from this senseless and brutal tragedy and all thanks to her amazing parents.
Due to this tragedy ride share companies have hopefully made changes to protect their customers
I dont even know Samantha but I want to hug her loved ones soooo bad 😢 this story is ABSOLUTELY CHILLING !!!!!!
Horrifying. Can’t imagine what she went through. I remember this case. Trifling violent monster with no remorse-destroying lives. GF knew something bad happened.
I am tripped out though. How is the girlfriend so chill sitting in a car full of blood watching him cleaning? She's not asking any questions, what is the dynamic of their relationship
Well I think it's pretty clear when she says that she asked and he told her to "mind your business"
This case is disgusting. *Definitely* always be on the phone with someone who can contact the police on your behalf if you are walking home or taking transit or taxi/uber/lyft. Give your friend your location and keep them updated until you arrive home safe.
I kept rewinding the Intro...the man that was about to kill her.....THIS.. IS MONSTERS ..wow chilling my soul.
Such a sad story!! RIP BABY GIRL ❤
Its really cool how the acronym SAMI for ride share safety that her family came up with matches her name
She said, "I don't like being late for work." You know damn well a person that's sees blood all over the inside of her car and thinks her boyfriend, "hit a dog....." Is late EVERY day for work...
Oh it’s Judge Newman! Our favourite Judge from the Murdaugh trial ❤
You can tell he's not the sharpest tool in the shed just by the way he wears his mask. How can he even think he will get away with this.
Love this judge, did a stand-up job on the Alex Murderer case.
She wasn’t street smart at all, parents give your kids basic knowledge of makes/models on cars
His mom is a sick human being. Legit caught him red handed with all the indisputable evidence in the world, and she still had the audacity to sit there and argue with the judge.
Just a sidenote, it’s also a $1000 fine to throw cigarette butt out in South Carolina.
A BLACK MAN DRIVING A CLEAN CAR MUST BE AN UBER DRIVER. THAT RACIST ASSUMPTION IS WHAT GOT HER IN THE CAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. NO SYMPATHY HERE.
No info regarding a random woman sitting carelessly on a blood drenched seat when he got caught..?
I believe the blood was in the backseat. She was sitting in the front passenger seat.
