All eyes are on the preliminary hearing Tuesday in the case against Nima Momeni, accused of fatally stabbing tech executive Bob Lee.
Legal experts say the prosecution has the upper hand after Momeni encouraged his lawyer to fast track his case - adding pressure to his defense team to form their arguments."From his perspective, or any criminal defendant's perspective, they're in custody, who wants to be in jail?" she told reporters."Most want the case to go quickly but good lawyers want to look at everything.
"It's not easy to prepare for something like this, in that short period of time and do a real good adequate defense. But the defendant doesn't want to sit in jail. He's freaking out. And he wants to hopefully be exonerated right away," Golde explains."And so he's, he's panicking, it would seem and requesting a speedy preliminary hearing."Recent court filings show Lee was at Millennium Tower the night of the stabbing.
Prosecutors allege the stabbing could have been sparked by a romantic relationship between Lee and Momeni's sister. The knife used to stab Lee matches the brand of cutlery found in her apartment.
