In a win for the prosecution, jurors today were shown a video in which alleged killer Nima Momeni made distinct stabbing motions, which prosecutors say match those that killed Cash App founder Bob Lee.
In the video, Hedley and Momeni are standing in the parking lot at Canny’s office and the video shows Momeni making three arm movements — two to the lower body and one at a higher shoulder level — as he speaks with Hedley. Then, Momeni can be seen making a throwing motion, which prosecutors have suggested matches the motion he would have made in discarding the kitchen knife he allegedly used to kill Lee.
One of the chest wounds, Moffatt, the medical examiner, said, pierced through the front and back of Lee’s heart. The other did not hit any vital organs, but was five inches deep. The alleged murder weapon, a paring knife, had a blade less than four inches long. The video that prosecutors allege shows Momeni acting out the crime
Goff said that he followed Momeni to what he learned was Canny’s parking lot on April 10, 2023. When Momeni exited the office, he smoked a cigarette and spoke with Hedley for several minutes. Goff said he was hoping to get a “surreptitious DNA sample” from Momeni’s cigarette butt, but noticed the purported pantomiming motion as he observed the two men speaking.
Out of sight of the jury, Cohen showed Goff an earlier section of the same video, in which Goff agreed that Momeni made a circling motion with his hand multiple times.
