A San Francisco jury on Tuesday convicted IT consultant Nima Momeni in the 2023 fatal stabbing of tech executive Bob Lee, a killing that led to concern about rampant street crime in the city — but was actually motivated by a personal dispute. The jury acquitted Momeni of first-degree murder, but found him guilty of second-degree murder. A verdict was reached on Monday, but read out Tuesday after deliberations started Dec. 4.
Momeni testified that on April 3, his sister called and asked him to pick her up from the apartment of a friend of Lee's who the sister described as her drug dealer. The sister testified that she told her brother she may have been sexually assaulted after taking the drug GHB.
