@@iisyuhfada7241 it's called not risking your freedom and going to prison for someone who probably going to cheat and leave you anyway. Folks better start telling the truth. God bless this real sister right here.
He equated McDonalds employment with dumb girl. This woman is a single parent working to keep a roof over her child's head and keep her in daycare. She is doing the damn thing. There is no shame in honest work. I know Doctors who were waiters, pharmacists who were cashier's...Stop judging people based on where they live or work. Content of character within the context of a situation is what most people should be judged on.
Amen to that! I’ve seen how hard those McDonald’s employees work. It’s not an easy job and the customers are often disrespectful. I have a lot of respect for people who actually get up and go to pretty much any job.
This woman is EVERYTHING. She’s not letting that defense lawyer make her feel any type of way or make her look any type of way. We def need more women like her in the world♥️
Amen, and at least she was out trying to make a honest living and taking care of her child, and each time she said he said, mind yo business, I was thinking he would have eventually found a reason to stab her to death, sadly a psychopath never stops, that girl should thank God she got out when she did.
Maria was clearly struggling. Single mom working double shifts, trying to attend college, behind on rent, raising a little girl, no washing machine or dryer for her uniform...and then she has to go through this. SMH
Most definitely, a struggling mom but a good Mom. I'm a great mom who got involved with a violent man, alcoholic, and went through domestic violence. I'm a survivor and raised my daughter alone..I respect this Woman..She was looking for help and why would she suspect her boyfriend of being a future murderer? I wish her the best with her daughter.hope she's safe along with daughter..she did awesome on the stand
@@kimberlyisherwood4564 she may have been scared. Sometimes people family retaliate if you so called snitch. I know a girl that was murdered like that. I hope she is safe. She did what was right.
I'm so proud of her. You know she's been scared to death to go against him, in ANY WAY. She's hard working, loyal and cares about her life and raising her child. God bless her.
@@johnjacobo Not sure what her tooth has anything to do with this or why you would say such a thing?!??? Her testimony was spot on and did not back down nor change her story. You people bringing up her damn tooth need to give it a rest!! SMDH
You're right. Even though she had nothing to do with it they threatened to lock her up bc they found that stuff at her house. Knowing they couldn't lock her up but they told her that just so she can fill in the blanks on a timeline of his movements and actions. So she's really not smart bc she didnt know they couldn't lock her up. Just threats..
Smart?? Did you hit a dog. No, why is there blood in the car, mind your business. Oh hell no!! Why would you want him to pick you up from work?? This is the problem!! Needs head examined or therapy to establish, THIS ISN'T NORMAL!
@@marythibault9032 Maybe she thought he hit a dog and picked up and just dumped him anywhere. I think that she cared for him so she's not going to think he's a murderer.
Imagine finding a random girls iPhone in your mans car and instead of thinking he’s cheating on you, you think he’s killing other females instead🤧 what a nightmare poor girl. She was so strong during this🤦🏻♀️
Listening to this was torture, I feel for her. She’s struggling to get by, raising a baby, and this man creeps in bringing this bs to her, then she has to go to court and be harassed on stand with repetitive questions and twists to try to make her look guilty of something this lunatic did, when in reality she’s just lucky it wasn’t her and her child he killed. Crazy
THIS GIRL CLEARLY LIED AND MAYBE EVEN HELPED WITH THE MURDER! She claims she saw him cleaning the knife off in on the car but the police found the knife in the trash in the back of her apartment INCLUDING THE VICTIMS BLOOD DNA AND HAIR STRANDS !!!! Police also found bloody sheet in her garbage with a match pillowcase upstairs. she knew what happened she’s just trynna to cover her ass and pin it all on Him! I just know i wouldn’t be that scared to leave instead she puts her baby girl in danger sleeping in the same house with him because she was apart of the crime! There’s plenty more proof online there was two people like somebody was wearing his grey Nike sweater while he was arrested and attempted to use the victims credit card 9 times
@@laylay6873 probably right, I had some doubts myself, but possibly not 🤷♀️ either way it still could have been her or he used her house to stash the crime stuff 🤷♀️
I tell this to my 2 young kids... Something I've lived by since I heard it when I was a teen, not by my own family, but I remember hearing it in highschool I think. "If you're honest and tell the truth, you'll never have to remember anything". I always thought it was so simple and so true. Honesty had always been something that was very important to me I think because I was raised by narcissistic, manipulative liars. I strive to be as authentic as I can and call bs out when its needs to be called out. Kindness is the way to go. I have kept a close group of friends that I know I can trust to be authentic with me. Its easy when you have enough respect for yourself to not let people walk over you and manipulate and lie to you to weed out toxic people with using honesty, truth and kindness. Nice people can be fake people, kind people love from their hearts, not their ego's. This woman is a fine example. 100% Truth.
Like someone else pointed out, THERE’S NO SHAME IN HONEST WORK! 👏 I respect this lady! She’s a single mom hardworking- doing double shifts and living on her own (paying rent) even if she worked at McDonald’s. She was looking for love which is what a normal person does so shouldn’t fault her for that. Wish her the best in life because she has a good head on her shoulders.
He was so used to being the boss in that relationship and manipulating her or shutting her down with ‘mind your business’ that I bet he was hating the fact he could no longer control her or what comes out of her mouth. Sat in court he has no chance to use his usual tactics of persuasion to ensure she only does/says what he wants. I bet it’s as empowering for her as it is the opposite for him x
Her confidence is through the roof. Her reaction to the blood in the car was “I gotta go get my daughter by any means necessary.” A lot of people will assume they would do this and that in a situation they've never been in but when you are scared, you will comply until you know you are safe especially when you have a child. I am sure if she dug deep enough or had threatened to have called the police, she would be dead too
I respect the girlfriend. I think she was as honest as possible. She’s pretty and lucky to be done with him. Good luck Maria in the future. Stick to your principles.
As Just Jay would say # " date thugs date death". Please check out everyone even before you give them your number. Get their name and number first. Ladies be careful!!!!
You took her shoes off with blood after knowingly putting her in a bloody car after driving it around and threw them in closet and not wash them at least wash everything thing you and her had on and a shower??? Not saying she knew at all. Just saying that’s a very odd reaction to a bloody car that your man keeps saying mind your business! Just saying. What a mess messy!!
@@teresaames7902 she knew even if she didn't want to admit it, but at least she didn't lie about how many clues that was obvious to her. Very messy situation.
@@elizabethdicaprio9575 Do you mean subpoenaed? And yeah while that’s true, you can still refuse but will most likely be charged w/ contempt of court which is a slap on the wrist.
His attorney TRIED it! Tried to humiliate her for putting her daughter in the car seat, tried to trick her into being a scorned girlfriend.....Girl bye! I love this witness, God bless her for telling the truth
Sadly there's people out there who would disagree with the death penalty. I wonder if they'd still feel that way if it was their mother, sister, or daughter he murdered. I honestly think people who disagree with the death penalty just don't want it to happen to them if they killed someone which is the whole point of it being a deterrent and punishment.
She has kindness in her soul, teach your children that those that have a light in their aura can also attract those who have a dark side because they want that light. Thank God Nathaniel Rowland did not snuff the light out of this young mother. I hope she finds a good man who has the same inner glow.
We stan a strong woman that isn't scared to do the right thing- even if it's "betraying" someone she cared about. She deserves a good man, she should be glad that pos is far away from her and her baby.
She played her part in protecting herself daughter and mother until it was safe to speak up. Very smart and strong. I’m glad she was able to put him in jail forever and protect her family at the same time.
@@nicolemitchell528 She obviously didn’t want him to stay at her mother’s home to wash her clothes while her mother wasn’t there. Maybe her mom didn’t want him there. She did not make any attempts to cover for him.
@@Michael_J_M14 imagine giving him up and then boom somehow there isn’t enough evidence or credit now he’s free to hurt you. She’s smart they build they own case where if I give y’all this info it’s 100% match with evidence and he’s going away. People family really get hurt for snitching unfortunately
My heart goes out to this amazing woman. She’s beyond too good for that douche bag of a man. The fact that she’s a hard working mama that is doing her best, and still managed to tell the truth is amazing. I feel bad because she trust the wrong man to give her a life she was hoping to have. I pray that she guards her and her child’s life for any other man that comes along.
I totally get why she just threw the shoes in the closet and minded her business. When you learn your dealing with a monster in live in a community where the police don’t protect you, it’s simply survival. If they killed before they will kill again.
This is really true in many communities. Until the police KNOW a crime has been committed, they can't do much to protect you. This is true even when these monsters strangle a woman but can't quite do it for the 8-10 minutes it requires, so it's only attempted murder. Domestic violence perpetrators get away with this all the time and eventually kill their partners, especially when they leave. A woman is never in greater danger than when she leaves one of these monsters. Same is true for their children.
@@BB-kt5eb Interesting you said that. In the back of my mind the word serial killer was brewing. I think you may be correct but Idk, this was so careless.
You are absolutely right, take baby steps when necessary until the police get involved, and once they do, start sprinting with the facts. When living with a monster killer, any premature actions, in this case, could have gotten her and her daughter killed.
She is cute as a button. I feel for her that she had to go through all of this but am so proud of her for being honest and doing the right thing. May her and her daughter have a blessed and beautiful life and may she find a man who will treat her like a queen and respect the good woman that she is.
That's the nicest thing to say ! Poor grrl doesn't like to be alone at night and that bastard leaves after a promise to stay.. then went out to do evil.
Black men watching this is what a strong black woman looks like 👍 She stands 4 some something and doesn't fall 4 anything. She choose her life and her daughter Life verses this fools life .
Young mother, 2 daily shifts at McDonalds, horrible roommate, no washer/dryer. This gal is in survival mode. Blood in the car was probably what set her hair on fire. She was spent.
I couldn't imagine the fear that would be in my sisters or my daughter once they saw the news & realized they've been sleeping w/ a murderer. 'Survival mode'... you nailed it Ma'am.
You are so right and sadly this is the plight of millions of single moms. Mom and dad need to do a better job at raising daughters to love themselves enough not to date trash like this.
I know she’s going through alot, but getting in a car with your baby that has blood in it is not at all smart and very naive!! Im really trying my best to understand her. It’s not like she didn’t have transportation she also had her mom who would apparently take her anywhere.
She comes across as a real one through and through. She's probably a wonderful mother and a great friend. She did the right thing. Her family should be proud of her, many girlfriends and exes won't speak up. She's brave, honest, intelligent, and down to earth. Bless her and her little one ✌🏽🖤
so she says. it’s strange how hes at her house everyday but never around her daughter… (especially in the fact that she put her daughter in a blood soaked car😔) that just screams irresponsible…
@@samapples6722 absolutely not & then she. says the daughter had blood all over her shoes. thats so nasty. Smfh. youre not overly cautious. That’s literally a biohazard: IDK anyone that would ride around sitting in BLOOD.
This young lady should write a book about living with a murderer and I hope she does and I hope she makes plenty of money off of it. She's a beautiful lady. She's very fortunate indeed.
Probably his life was similar to yours. You think people who murder live differently from you? How many parents of mass murderers in America have wrote a book about having children who are murderers?
Know nothing about this case but looks like he underestimated her big time and that she picked her battles with him very carefully what likely saved her life. She's one of the smartest people in the room, fast and consistent in her answers, seeing him exactly for what he is. Brave woman.
I think the part about picking her battles is so understated in this case. That's something that the state could've gone further into, but clearly there was no need.
I love this young lady for being so honest. She completely told the truth. She is not letting anyone intimidate her. I hope she make different choices in life. We all make mistakes. His parents claim he is such a great boy by the way they raised him. I am so happy the judge stopped the mother when she started Bragging about him being innocent. Stop putting these bad kids on a pedestal. We do not know what our kids are capable of. We raise them but cannot follow them the rest of their lives. All of this evidence and “WHAT A GREAT BOY”. Get outta here. Young lady the best of luck to you and your little daughter. Make her your priority not some man. You are a very intelligent young lady and you will go in life. I pray for you. Take care ❤️❤️❤️
"Why you still have the same clothes on, you haven't washed your ass" It was this statement at @20:06 when I was fully convinced that this woman was telling the complete truth. This is exactly what a rational black woman would say LOL.

I just don’t get why she kept seeing him and did not report this to the police? She had to know what happened in that car with all the blood! And he could have easily killed her and her daughter too! Crazy!!!
@@laurasimpson7211 this is how ppl get killed. U have to be careful once u suspect someone of a dangerous crime. Letting them know ur on to them could be deadly bc who wants a witness? Just like asking why women stay in abusive relationships… many times a woman calls police & they do little to nothing & the abuser reacts getting the victim hurt worse or even murdered u kno. In order to turn him in she’d have to be sure & had a plan of safety in place first.
He didn't take her for granted. She friendzoned him while she was in college. But she got into a relationship real quick with him when she was a single mom with no car. Has nothing to do with the case. I'm just saying 🤷♂️
That's why everyone should have a journal. I've always thought about it. Lets say someone ever wants to set you up or if its a case of mistaken identity. You get interrogated. They ask you, "Where were you on this date and time"? Even a calendar with notes for the day helps.
I am terrified of having to remember where I was on such n such day so I can avoid a false arrest and conviction....god! I'm doomed. Thank God I don't go anywhere 😆
They asked though detailed questions of every witness at every trial. Their thought is that no detail is too small. Also, they want to make sure that the witness is credible as far as keeping their story straight. Also, they want no cause for a mistrial.
The defense has no choice but to try & make it seem like the witness isnt credible. Thats really the only thing she could try because all the evidence is pointing the other way. So they just ask the same questions over and over in different ways in an attempt to make the witness switch up the info they gave.
They have to, in order to try to make the witness loose composure. Sometimes that is the only way the truth will come out. A court room is no sunday school. If you are telling the truth, like I believe this lady is, you will come through.
I love her! Absolutely stunning woman who no longer has the time for that man’s bs. I can tell she is repulsed by him. Love her honesty and strength. I wish nothing but the best for her and her daughter 💗
Tbf, in the blink of an eye that could have easily been the case. The lawyer could have been attempting to make her an accomplice in the jury’s eyes by making her slip up on the stand. From there, the story can be spun any number of ways.
It does come off in a negative way a lot of the time but it is the defense's job to cross examine the witnesses to give everyone the best picture of what happened. Imagine being the attorney of the defendant, any sane human would realize he is guilty and this is one of the only things you can do and even though it comes off distasteful when the witness is clearly not lying and the defendant has so much evidence against him... you are doing your job as an attorney while making the defendant look more guilty
I tip my hat to Maria! Don’t let the naysayers on the Internet get you down. You’re doing a great job taking care of your daughter, telling the truth in this trial & handling your business. You are a beautful hardworking young woman and you can look at yourself in the mirror as we all have to.
And idk if a great mom leaves their kid at daycare until 8pm, let's their child ride in a car full of blood, then throws her shoes in a closet & avoids calling police. All while allowing this man to be around her child. That's not great mothering, honestly. She's a good witness though. 🤷
This poor young lady... they tried to make her out to be a liar and all she did was trust the wrong guy. She was strong for testifying and not getting out of character.
Can't nobody condemn her decisions, we don't know what choices she had at the time...and if you have never been in a rough position like Maria, count yourself blessed and keep your judgment to yourself.
@103:15 “would it be a surprise to you to find that your DNA is on the cleaning supplies?” ... her response was no, that’s my house and my cleaning supplies, of course my DNA is going to be on it.... what an AWESOME response from the witness.
As I was reading your comment the defense attorney JUST asked her that question!! I like her answer to include the eye roll at the end. It was like TF!!!🤣😂🤣
Utmost respect to this lady. After just a few tips from the prosecution lawyer about how to respond in court room, she is just cool, concise and unambiguous. Impressive, wish her prosper in whatever she does now and will do in the future.
This is why we have to be careful who we let into our life’s and homes. Not everyone deserves us. I hope she finds love and appreciation. God bless you , you did amazing ❤️
Most women are not in the streets. So we do not have to live by the code. We didn't sign up for that. If somebody does something to someone and i know about it, IM TELLING!!! 💅🏾
I’m not an attorney, but some of these questions seemed a little silly and unnecessary. It’s remarkable how many of those detailed questions that young woman was able to answer.
It's some of these details that when omitted can be used to negate all the other facts in the case and result in OBVIOUSLY guilty people getting off on "a technicality". This is why, although they seem silly/stupid/repetitive, those little details can make or break a case.
When your client is so guilty that the defense's only move is to keep backpedaling. Excellent job by the witness. She seems fully trustworthy and her story was consistent.
@@michelemcguire8995 I'm not sure what you're rolling laughing with emoticons over such a violent, vicious crime. Where is your empathy and respect for the human being who had to fight for her life against a monster?

@VegaX Vega ???? My brother literally fell and hit his teeth on a dresser and now his teeth look like that because he needed some removed to avoid infection.

So even if she “did” do drugs, people have a past. Doesn’t make them a bad parent. Get a grip.
Her child safety locks contributed to the student woman not being able to get out of the car and run. Then the mother put her child into the blood soaked safety seat instead of calling the police. Sure she did not have much time in two weeks to bring him together with her daughter because she stayed with Grandma most of the time. But the intent was there because of the child safety modifications in the car and she already r Got rid of her roommate even though she did not like to be alone in the house due to bad men.

Not familiar with this case, but I believe everything this young lady said. She comes across honest and trying to make a life for herself and her child. She’s not about to ruin her life over this pos! How tragic for the young lady that lost her life. Hope he gets exactly what he deserves!
I pray that Maria stays safe and doesn’t have to fear everyday for the rest of her life. I cannot imagine being in her position😭💔 I would be terrified. She’s strong AF and beautiful!
Some parts of her story are a little sketchy. Like she went all the way to her mother to wash clothes but the mother was leaving so she didn't wash her clothes. Why couldn't she wash her clothes at moms house even if she is not there? Could it be the mother didn't like her loser boyfriend
She’s got literally nothing better to do. Her client is guilty as sin. I couldn’t do her job for love nor money. Thank you no thank you!! Oy my head😶🌫️
You usually get life without parole if you take a murderer charge to trial and lose. If you're guilty just take the plea. But I'm glad for the ones that don't 😂
😂😂😂😂 I was wondering what could he be writing because EVERYTHING points to him. If I was his attorney, I would be like man just draw to entertain yourself because this case is over.
He is a complete narcissistic monster. He's looking at her like he can threaten her even in court to lie for him. God had his hands on her during this relationship because someone was needed to tell the story for his victim. Shame on his mother for saying he was innocent. She knows that's a lie. May he rot for the senseless murder he committed

@@nigelstanford4did you happen to hear the part where she states she works double shifts as a single parent to maintain her apartment? She doesn't own a vehicle because she probably can't afford one yet. I'm not too sure where she would find funds to get a roundtrip Uber that would make her even later to picking up her child. The whole case is based on an UBER ride. Samantha died getting into a vehicle she thought was an Uber. Your argument is wild.
If she’s so strong and wanted to put them away why didn’t she call the cops They should charge her also try to cover it. If the police didn’t come to her house she probably would’ve never said anything
Agreed, just look at 29:30 in this video when she says, "It all makes sense now." Her eyes go WIDE as she tells the story, and you know she's having a moment where she realizes just what he is. I'm glad she and her daughter got away.
That arrogance is a total facade. He is going to be someone's girlfriend in prison. Apex predators attack other men, not someone who is smaller, weaker, and less violent than they. Apex predators of the same species battle their competitor predators.

Understood but the pure torment of knowing your daughter was stabbed 120 times just for getting in the wrong car and only god knows what other depraved acts he done to her should be where everyone's attention is focused.

Amen, and at least she was out trying to make a honest living and taking care of her child, and each time she said he said, mind yo business, I was thinking he would have eventually found a reason to stab her to death, sadly a psychopath never stops, that girl should thank God she got out when she did.

When you tell the truth it's easy to remember. I'm so proud of this young lady.God bless you and take care of your child.
Amen
I tell this to my 2 young kids... Something I've lived by since I heard it when I was a teen, not by my own family, but I remember hearing it in highschool I think. "If you're honest and tell the truth, you'll never have to remember anything".
I always thought it was so simple and so true. Honesty had always been something that was very important to me I think because I was raised by narcissistic, manipulative liars. I strive to be as authentic as I can and call bs out when its needs to be called out. Kindness is the way to go. I have kept a close group of friends that I know I can trust to be authentic with me. Its easy when you have enough respect for yourself to not let people walk over you and manipulate and lie to you to weed out toxic people with using honesty, truth and kindness.
Nice people can be fake people, kind people love from their hearts, not their ego's.

Calm with it too.
I totally get why she just threw the shoes in the closet and minded her business. When you learn your dealing with a monster in live in a community where the police don’t protect you, it’s simply survival. If they killed before they will kill again.
This is really true in many communities. Until the police KNOW a crime has been committed, they can't do much to protect you. This is true even when these monsters strangle a woman but can't quite do it for the 8-10 minutes it requires, so it's only attempted murder. Domestic violence perpetrators get away with this all the time and eventually kill their partners, especially when they leave.
A woman is never in greater danger than when she leaves one of these monsters. Same is true for their children.

@@BB-kt5eb Interesting you said that. In the back of my mind the word serial killer was brewing. I think you may be correct but Idk, this was so careless.

I hate when they try to villainize people on the stand. She seems like a decent person.
They asked though detailed questions of every witness at every trial. Their thought is that no detail is too small. Also, they want to make sure that the witness is credible as far as keeping their story straight. Also, they want no cause for a mistrial.
Exactly, with the DNA evidence alone, this peice of sh*t defence defence lawyer taking on this case is the devils advocate
RIGHTTT
The defense has no choice but to try & make it seem like the witness isnt credible. Thats really the only thing she could try because all the evidence is pointing the other way. So they just ask the same questions over and over in different ways in an attempt to make the witness switch up the info they gave.
They have to, in order to try to make the witness loose composure. Sometimes that is the only way the truth will come out. A court room is no sunday school. If you are telling the truth, like I believe this lady is, you will come through.
I love her! Absolutely stunning woman who no longer has the time for that man’s bs. I can tell she is repulsed by him. Love her honesty and strength. I wish nothing but the best for her and her daughter 💗
I hate when they treat the witnesses like they are the ones standing trial for murder
Tbf, in the blink of an eye that could have easily been the case. The lawyer could have been attempting to make her an accomplice in the jury’s eyes by making her slip up on the stand. From there, the story can be spun any number of ways.
It does come off in a negative way a lot of the time but it is the defense's job to cross examine the witnesses to give everyone the best picture of what happened. Imagine being the attorney of the defendant, any sane human would realize he is guilty and this is one of the only things you can do and even though it comes off distasteful when the witness is clearly not lying and the defendant has so much evidence against him... you are doing your job as an attorney while making the defendant look more guilty
You have to get a straight answer and verify the statement matches the evidence.
Spontaneous answers to spontaneous questions are genuine answers. Props to both for quick banter.
That’s why I could never be an attorney. You have to be willing to try to twist the truth and deal in a realm that isn’t fair or logical.
I tip my hat to Maria! Don’t let the naysayers on the Internet get you down. You’re doing a great job taking care of your daughter, telling the truth in this trial & handling your business. You are a beautful hardworking young woman and you can look at yourself in the mirror as we all have to.

Her look at the lawyer at 1:03:33, that was the moment she felt like she was being framed as an accomplice.
Getting out of character? She isn't an actress, she is in a grueling testifying situation for a horrific murder trial.
Can't nobody condemn her decisions, we don't know what choices she had at the time...and if you have never been in a rough position like Maria, count yourself blessed and keep your judgment to yourself.
@103:15 “would it be a surprise to you to find that your DNA is on the cleaning supplies?” ... her response was no, that’s my house and my cleaning supplies, of course my DNA is going to be on it.... what an AWESOME response from the witness.
Agreed
As I was reading your comment the defense attorney JUST asked her that question!! I like her answer to include the eye roll at the end. It was like TF!!!🤣😂🤣
Seems like as an attorney that was a dumb question all together.
Right! Her tone changed for that answer too!
Utmost respect to this lady. After just a few tips from the prosecution lawyer about how to respond in court room, she is just cool, concise and unambiguous. Impressive, wish her prosper in whatever she does now and will do in the future.
They should have discussed that bf court. I didn’t like her correcting her on yes ma’am 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ However, she did an excellent job witnessing!
This is why we have to be careful who we let into our life’s and homes. Not everyone deserves us. I hope she finds love and appreciation. God bless you , you did amazing ❤️
@David GilbertCan you explain me Why she should wise man?

Yep. Women like Maria will set you up for the penitentiary.
@@shonuffizhere5670 how by telling the truth on a murderer?
Most women are not in the streets. So we do not have to live by the code. We didn't sign up for that. If somebody does something to someone and i know about it, IM TELLING!!! 💅🏾
Lucky you
And that’s on whatttt???? Mary Had A Little Lamb!!!! Cause I’m singing like Jennifer Hudson u break the law around me
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Exactly, thank you!
Yeah right lol yet y’all love “street” dudes
I’m not an attorney, but some of these questions seemed a little silly and unnecessary. It’s remarkable how many of those detailed questions that young woman was able to answer.
Agree
She is asking some real stupid questions.
It's some of these details that when omitted can be used to negate all the other facts in the case and result in OBVIOUSLY guilty people getting off on "a technicality". This is why, although they seem silly/stupid/repetitive, those little details can make or break a case.
I agree!!! Tf kind of attorney is this? Or maybe she is showing how the witness is detailed?? Idk but it’s silly
I agree
When your client is so guilty that the defense's only move is to keep backpedaling. Excellent job by the witness. She seems fully trustworthy and her story was consistent.
I know it was a hard case to try as a defense attorney.

@@michelemcguire8995 I'm not sure what you're rolling laughing with emoticons over such a violent, vicious crime. Where is your empathy and respect for the human being who had to fight for her life against a monster?
This woman is truly admirable for her strength and honesty. She's a beautiful woman inside and out and I wish her n her child the best in life
She looks like a honest woman whos working to take care of herself and her child. I love how she isnt scared of him, telling her truth. This is an amazing example shes setting to her kids, how important it is to do the right thing.
Sending her family all the best.
Big facts
She's not telling "her truth" she's telling "the truth" there's no such thing as "his truth/her truth" there is only The truth and anything else is a lie
@VegaX Vega ???? My brother literally fell and hit his teeth on a dresser and now his teeth look like that because he needed some removed to avoid infection. There are many reasons someone can be missing teeth. Not sure how “crack” is your first assumption. And even if it WAS true, she’s clearly no showing any signs of hard drug use now. So even if she “did” do drugs, people have a past. Doesn’t make them a bad parent. Get a grip.

@@c.i.1963 …
This must be so haunting for the ex gf she will never be able to trust anyone .realizing a killer was right under her nose😢
Her child safety locks contributed to the student woman not being able to get out of the car and run.
Then the mother put her child into the blood soaked safety seat instead of calling the police. Sure she did not have much time in two weeks to bring him together with her daughter because she stayed with Grandma most of the time. But the intent was there because of the child safety modifications in the car and she already r
Got rid of her roommate even though she did not like to be alone in the house due to bad men.
@@ytcomms3945 it was the bf car not hers. child safety doesn't lock all doors mean the minute he was out of plain sight he lunged at her all her wounds were on the right.. he's a sick person .that girl didn't deserve to die, her friends didn't make sure she was safe knowing she was drunk😥 .120 times 😢
PTSD
@@ytcomms3945
Millions of parents use child safety locks.
But he had them on HIS car.
It sends chills down my spine.
@@DNSMLT right plus she was drunk definitely had no strength to fight the second the knife came towards her. I read on ig someone saying he posted he didn't like white people idk how true that is
I pray that she stays safe her and her baby
In ***JESUS*** OUR ***CHRIST*** HOLY NAME AMEN....🙏❤
Not familiar with this case, but I believe everything this young lady said. She comes across honest and trying to make a life for herself and her child. She’s not about to ruin her life over this pos! How tragic for the young lady that lost her life. Hope he gets exactly what he deserves!
Extremely credible witness! She blew the defense attorney out of the water! Awesome young lady!
I pray that Maria stays safe and doesn’t have to fear everyday for the rest of her life. I cannot imagine being in her position😭💔
I would be terrified. She’s strong AF and beautiful!
I would be scared asf too!! She’s definitely strong 💯💯
agreed
Some parts of her story are a little sketchy. Like she went all the way to her mother to wash clothes but the mother was leaving so she didn't wash her clothes. Why couldn't she wash her clothes at moms house even if she is not there? Could it be the mother didn't like her loser boyfriend
@@megmeyer7563 possibly. More like that
Her dental insurance must be mess
This Defense attorney is pretty much trying to trip her up. But the young lady handled it so well. I was frustrated.
The atty is gettttting on my nerves! She done asked like 73 irrelevant questions
Tha questions honestly gave me a headache 🤕
She’s got literally nothing better to do. Her client is guilty as sin.
I couldn’t do her job for love nor money.
Thank you no thank you!!
Oy my head😶🌫️
Yes that Lady just wanted her to be guilty in an area where she was just naive
Forreals. And repeating the same questions. Annoying.
Always make me laugh when the accused takes notes and constantly whispers in their lawyers ear. Then the judge gives them life without parole! 👋
Yep. 😂
You usually get life without parole if you take a murderer charge to trial and lose. If you're guilty just take the plea. But I'm glad for the ones that don't 😂
😂😂😂😂 I was wondering what could he be writing because EVERYTHING points to him. If I was his attorney, I would be like man just draw to entertain yourself because this case is over.
That always makes me laugh as well. Acting like their integrity and character is being tarnished.
@OneSexySista Harrington That gets me. All evidence pointed to him and he jotting notes.... 🤣
He is a complete narcissistic monster. He's looking at her like he can threaten her even in court to lie for him. God had his hands on her during this relationship because someone was needed to tell the story for his victim. Shame on his mother for saying he was innocent. She knows that's a lie. May he rot for the senseless murder he committed
And his mom’s witness is right in congruence with the mothers of these narcissistic men.smh
A lost young woman, a broken young woman, a sense of Betrayal from someone you love... God shielde that young woman from the enemies of death... He appears desperate for someone to take the Rap for him, a alledged Coward... Please send him on to the Alledged
To the Big 🏠... God bless that young man who was a befuddled person, who fell Prey to this Narcissistic man... He has years too contemplate the he horrors and f that dying woman..Who had not received Mercy from the Alledged Killer ! May Heaven Smile on the Beauty of that Young Woman who do tragically gave up the Ghost for Her Pr cious
I hope she finds herself a decent guy now
How did you get all that damn you must of meet a cruel man in your life and I bet he wasn’t black smh it’s crazy how you came up with that logic wow
We need more strong young ladies like her....she is a gem
I hope this woman and her child is safe. This takes a lot of bravery
🙏🙏🙏
This lady is an excellent witness. She makes you really like her. She’s very believable. She carried herself beautifully.
The defense attorney is evil loathsome and despicable. This lady is not on trial for any crimes. Her behavior is unforgivable.
Correct she act like she had something to prove!!
I hope she finds a loving relationship and God bless her
He look like the type that lied his way through life to get what he wanted.. Emotionless with no conscience.. Scary.. She's Blessed to be able to take the stand.. 🙏
He’s a psychopath he’ Devoid of empathy or feelings.
He’s dead inside.
That’s why he’s able to commit such a heinous crime.
@@frank1903 The crazy thing is in his twisted mind he did nothing wrong as if that night never happened..
Cornbread 1431 it’s crazy to you because you are a normal person and normal people have feelings and empathy and concern and compassion for any human life because to normal people life is precious.
To psychopaths they do not possess any of these normal human qualities that is why they are able to perform such vile shameless acts of brutality to a fellow Human and sit in a chair with overwhelming proof being thrown at you that you had committed this crime and not show an ounce of remorse and regret.
His ex girlfriend has phenomenal memory, while I cannot recall what I had for breakfast an hour before.
Lol.
Haha I’m the same as you. I think due to the events that unfolded shortly after and given how unusual his behaviour was- it’s burnt into her memory.
Said honey I've been sleep since then🥴
Sometimes you don't think you know until you have to remember cause I've definitely
I bet you’d remember if there was blood in your cereal bowl
This woman is amazing! She isn't holding anything back and if she would've confronted him prior he surely would've murdered her as well. She's so scared, but did the right thing.
She's so damn lucky and smart she didn't act like she knew.
that's true cuz he would have killed her and her daughter...too.
“I don’t do IPhones, I like Androids”. 😂. Love it...
If she had taken that phone he offered her, the story may have changed and she may have been in trouble. Brave woman. God bless and keep you and your baby, Sis. Blessings.
Agreed with her and anytime🤣😆
He was probably gonna try to pull her in.
@@karenjohnson6719 of course he was, narcissist love to bring you down with them. Trying to give her a dead girl's phone, with all the tracking technology of phones today, what an ass

It was at that moment I knew sis had a lot of common sense. Lol.
This young woman looks like a very hard working, strong girl. She is so brave for standing up to this monster of a man. More power to people like this standing up for what's right.
Yes and she deserves better than this thug in his Valentines Day outfit.
The second lawyer trying to make this woman feel bad for going to pick up her kid is ridiculous. It was her only means of transportation and she needed to get her kid, that defense is reaching so far it's wild.
You are a psychopath if you would take your daughter in a car full of blood. let alone even associate with someone who has blood in their car and wont tell you why. Why not just take an uber...
@@nigelstanford4 Sure, until you got to pay $10 per minute you are late to the day care...
@@pipe360ful she admitted she was already late because she forgot. It was 8pm
@@nigelstanford4 NO! Not everyone has options. I feel sure she didn’t think he murdered a woman!!
@@nigelstanford4did you happen to hear the part where she states she works double shifts as a single parent to maintain her apartment? She doesn't own a vehicle because she probably can't afford one yet. I'm not too sure where she would find funds to get a roundtrip Uber that would make her even later to picking up her child. The whole case is based on an UBER ride. Samantha died getting into a vehicle she thought was an Uber. Your argument is wild.
We most definitely need more strong women like her for taking a stand in helping to put this killer away!!
If she’s so strong and wanted to put them away why didn’t she call the cops They should charge her also try to cover it. If the police didn’t come to her house she probably would’ve never said anything
@@vivianchairez955 WELL GUESS WHAT IT'S OVER AND DUDE WILL NEVER SEE DAYLIGHT WITH A LIFE BET AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTER SO FROM HERE ON OUT ITS😷✌✌
I can BARELY hear her tho smh!
Agreed, just look at 29:30 in this video when she says, "It all makes sense now." Her eyes go WIDE as she tells the story, and you know she's having a moment where she realizes just what he is. I'm glad she and her daughter got away.
She ain't strong, they paid her $12 rent in exchange to lie on this man
He’s sitting there like she’s on trial ! I can’t take his arrogance! God bless her for being so strong.
That arrogance is a total facade. He is going to be someone's girlfriend in prison.

Don't forget poor Samantha that was brutally stabed over a hundred times. This woman might have been his next victim if she rubbed him wrong.
I wonder if there were others that nobody knows about?
I am glad that when he told her to mind her business, she did, this nut might have killed her and her daughter, lord you just don't know who you are talking to
Understood but the pure torment of knowing your daughter was stabbed 120 times just for getting in the wrong car and only god knows what other depraved acts he done to her should be where everyone's attention is focused. Imagine your son or daughter gets brutally murdered months before graduating college. There is a statistic for parents of murdered kids committing suicide. I dont feel a bit of concern for the gf of the monster. She should have called the cops the first time she saw the blood.
@@danielholtzapple7124 Liberals will claim this trial was racist and unfair. He'll get a retrial.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr I think this crosses the aisle of politics and race myself. Anyone hears the details should feel immense sympathy for Samantha and her parents. I mean 120 stabs.
