Prosecution Delivers Closing Arguments in Bob Lee Murder Trial

Nima Momeni accused of fabricating self-defense claim in fatal stabbing of Cash App founder Bob Lee in April 2023.

  • Prosecutors argue Nima Momeni acted out of rage when he stabbed Bob Lee three times, dismissing the defense's self-defense claim as implausible and fabricated.
  • Assistant District Attorney Dane Reinstedt highlighted Lee's 911 call and Momeni's failure to seek help as key evidence against the defendant.
  • The prosecution emphasized Momeni's combative demeanor on the witness stand, suggesting it revealed his true temperament and capacity for violence.
  • The defense contends that Lee, under the influence of drugs, initiated the attack with a knife, forcing Momeni to act in self-defense using martial arts skills.
  • Jury deliberations are set to begin after the defense delivers its closing arguments, with Momeni facing up to 26 years to life if convicted of first-degree murder.
