Murder Suspect Nima Momeni Seeks Trial Venue Change, Sister Arrested on DUI

Defense team cites bias and prejudicial media coverage, while sister Khazar Momeni faces hit-and-run and DUI charges.

Nima Momeni, accused of murdering Cash App founder Bob Lee, seeks to move his trial out of San Francisco due to alleged bias and prejudicial media coverage.
Defense attorneys claim recent photos of Momeni in jail, published by the San Francisco Standard, could bias potential jurors against him.
Khazar Momeni, sister of the accused and a central figure in the case, was recently arrested on suspicion of DUI and hit-and-run.
Defense attorneys have also filed a motion demanding a hearing for prosecutors to explain a violation of a court order regarding the release of Momeni's vehicle to his family.
The trial date for Nima Momeni has been tentatively set for March 15, 2023.
