A pathologist testified that the exact number of stab wounds the University of South Carolina student suffered is unknown because of the number of her injuries.
Samantha Josephson had just a little more than a tablespoon of blood in her body after the attack, making it difficult for workers at her autopsy to collect enough blood for routine testing. The human body typically has at least a gallon of blood, according to Dr. Thomas Beaver, who examined Josephson's body after death.
Nathaniel Rowland, the man accused of killing Josephson, is in the second week of his trial, charged with the murder and kidnapping of Josephson. Beaver spent an hour fleshing out the 120 separate stab wounds on Josephson's body, but said that the exact number is unknown because of the quantity of the injuries.
"It gets to a point where it really doesn't add much to the report," said Beaver, a pathologist at the Medical University of South Carolina.The death of South Carolina student Samantha Josephson, who mistook her alleged killer for an Uber driver, has turned a national spotlight on ride-hailing safety and led to some changes, including more prominent displays of driver’s license plates.
Prosecutors have taken a methodical approach to the entire trial. Before Beaver took the stand, they linked Josephson's blood to areas all over Rowland's Chevrolet Impala, a knife with two blades and cleaning supplies in the trash behind his girlfriend's home and on a sock and bandana owned by Rowland.
The prosecution has introduced a mountain of other scientific evidence, from matching a footprint found on a rear window of Rowland's vehicle to Josephson, to cellphone data showing he was in the area where her body was found some 65 miles from where she was last seen in Columbia's Five Points entertainment district.Read more
