Defense attorneys for Nima Momeni — the man accused of fatally stabbing tech executive Bob Lee – called a medical expert to the witness stand Tuesday who testified that it is possible that their theory of self-defense could be true.
Dr. John Marraccini, a Florida-based physician and pathologist, told jurors that based on Lee's wound pattern, it could be indicative of Lee having brought the knife and sustained self-inflicted wounds as Momeni attempted to defend himself from an attack brought by Lee. That same witness also told jurors that it's possible the wounds could have been inflicted from a direct attack by Momeni.
'Right now, we're kind of in the realm of anything's possible. It was by no means a definitive statement by the defense expert in terms of how the wounds were inflicted,' she told CBS News Bay Area.But Momeni's defense attorneys believe the testimony can only aid their case because of holes left in the story by the prosecution. 'The stab pattern wounds don't match the story that the state is putting out,' criminal defense attorney Bradford Cohen told reporters.
