Bob Lee Murder Trial Concludes with Defense's 'Cocaine Knife' Video Claim
Defense attorneys argue Nima Momeni acted in self-defense, presenting a video they claim shows Bob Lee using the alleged murder weapon for drug use hours before his death.
- The defense introduced surveillance footage from a San Francisco social club allegedly showing Bob Lee using a knife to consume cocaine hours before his death.
- Prosecutors dismissed the defense's claim as implausible, highlighting the lack of DNA evidence linking Lee to the knife handle and calling the argument misleading.
- The defense argued Momeni acted in self-defense after Lee allegedly pulled the knife during a confrontation, but this narrative was challenged by the prosecution's evidence.
- Lee's ex-wife and brother criticized the defense's narrative, calling it a fabricated attempt to tarnish Lee's character and legacy.
- Jurors are set to begin deliberations following six weeks of testimony, with Momeni facing 26 years to life in prison if convicted of murder.
