Momeni was found not guilty of the more serious charge of pre-meditated first-degree murder.
Prosecutors Dane Reinstedt and Omid Talai were present in the courtroom for the verdict, as was Sgt. Brent Dittmer – who testified in the trial – and a handful of members of the DA's office.

'We we're happy with the result today. We're happy that Nima Momeni won't be on the streets, no longer has the opportunity to harm anyone else in this world,' he said. 'The verdict of murder two will put him away for a long time.' He also noted that besides Momeni being found guilty of the murder, the proceedings showed that his family was complicit in the crime by trying to help him cover it up and had 'blood on their hands.' He said that there were several dozen friends and supporters in the courtroom with the family when the verdict was read.'We're extremely thankful to the District Attorney's Office, we're extremely thankful for the juries. I think justice was done here today,' he added.
