In the Bob Lee murder trial, prosecutors played Lee's 911 call and challenged Nima Momeni's self-defense claim, suggesting premeditation and a motive tied to a past incident involving Momeni's sister and a drug dealer.
Prosecutors made their closing arguments, beginning by playing Bob Lee 's 911 call for jurors in which he repeatedly pleaded for help.Closing arguments began Monday in the Bob Lee murder trial . Nima Momeni is accused of stabbing and killing Lee in the early morning hours of April 4, 2023. Momeni previously testified he acted in self-defense.
Prosecutors made their closing arguments, beginning by playing Bob Lee's 911 call for jurors in which he repeatedly pleaded for help.The prosecution contrasted that call to Nima Momeni's lack of call to 911 or police, even though he testified it was Lee who attacked him with a knife after Momeni made a "bad joke" calling into question his priorities and not spending time with his family on his last night in town.
Prosecutors say Momeni carefully curated his self-defense story around the evidence and that his defense paid experts to testify, who admitted on the stand that they workshopped possible scenarios of what could have happened to match Bob Lee's three stab wounds, two to his chest including one to his heart and one to his hip.They also emphasized that Momeni concealed evidence by throwing the knife over the Caltrans fence and bringing his vehicle to his mom's house after Lee's murder.
"I think Dane did a great job of summing up this case and really putting it into perspective, really drawing in what the facts are of this case," said Oliver Lee, Bob Lee's brother. The prosecution's closing arguments lasted approximately three hours. The defense will make their closing arguments Tuesday.
