A San Francisco jury has found Nima Momeni guilty of murdering tech consultant Bob Lee.
A San Francisco jury rejected the tech consultant 's claim that he acted in self defense and he faces 16 years to life in prison. The outlet reported that nearly two weeks after Lee had been found dripping blood and calling for help on the streets of San Francisco, Momeni was found guilty of murdering tech consultant Bob Lee . Prosecutors argued that Momeni planned the attack on Lee, driving him to a secluded area under the Bay Bridge.
The said Momeni was angry at Lee for introducing his younger sister to a drug dealer she said gave drugs and then sexually assaulted her, and that Momeni stabbed Lee three times. Trump’s Felony Conviction Stands, Judge Rules Per NBC, Momeni testified that he had acted in self-defense after Lee attacked him with a knife after Momeni criticized him about looking for a strip club instead of spending time with his family. Momeni claimed that he didn’t realize he had fatally stabbed Lee or that he had wounded him. “We think justice was done here today,” Lee’s brother, Tim Oliver, told the outlet. “What matters today is that we had a guilty verdict and Nima Momeni is going away for a very long time. “I would like to thank the jury for their service in this trial,” District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in a statement. “I would also like to thank Mr. Lee’s family for their trust and faith in my office through this long journey to get justice. Although nothing will bring back Mr. Lee, I hope that this verdict brings his family and friends some closure as they work to heal from this devastating loss. Mr. Lee was loved deeply by many and his killing shocked all of us locally with reverberations felt across the country.” Tony Brass, an attorney for Momeni, said the verdict was “obviously very disappointing for us,” and that his team would evaluate for an appeal. A status hearing to determine the sentencing date was set for Jan. 10
