Trial of Cash App Founder's Accused Killer to Stay in San Francisco

Judge denies motion to move Nima Momeni's trial, setting a tentative date for May 20.

Judge rules that Nima Momeni can have a fair trial in San Francisco for the murder of Cash App founder Bob Lee, denying the defense's motion to move the trial.
The trial is tentatively set for May 20, with the defense possibly seeking further delays.
A survey found that while 86% of SF residents had heard of the case, less than a third had formed an opinion about Momeni's guilt.
The defense won access to seven years of phone data from Bob Lee's cell phones, a key element in understanding the relationship between Lee, Momeni, and Momeni's sister.
Bob Lee had a romantic entanglement with Khazar Momeni, Nima Momeni's sister, which is considered a potential motive for the murder.
