Tech Consultant Claims Self-Defense in Bob Lee Stabbing Trial

Nima Momeni testifies that a 'bad joke' led to a deadly confrontation with Cash App founder Bob Lee.

  • Nima Momeni, accused of killing Bob Lee, testified that a joke about spending time with family instead of going to strip clubs provoked Lee to attack him.
  • Prosecutors argue that Momeni premeditated the attack following a dispute over his sister, Khazar Momeni, and stabbed Lee three times.
  • The defense claims Lee was erratic due to drugs and alcohol, having slept only six hours over four days, and that Momeni acted in self-defense.
  • Surveillance footage shows Momeni and Lee leaving Khazar Momeni's condo together before the altercation, which took place in a secluded area near the Bay Bridge.
  • Momeni faces 26 years to life in prison if convicted, with the trial continuing as cross-examination of his testimony proceeds.
