Nima Momeni has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee. The jury deliberated for weeks before reaching their verdict, opting for the lesser charge of second-degree murder rather than first-degree murder. Momeni faces a sentence of 16 years to life in prison.
A San Francisco jury on Tuesday morning found Nima Momeni guilty of second-degree murder in last year's fatal stabbing of Cash App founder Bob Lee . In reaching their verdict, the jury of six men and six women also chose not to find Momeni guilty of the higher offense of murder in the first degree. The crime carries a sentence of 16 years to life in prison.The jury began deliberations on Dec. 4 after the trial that began in October.
The prosecution said it was Momeni who stabbed Lee three times, including once in the heart, fueled by anger over his belief that Lee's alleged dealer had given Momeni's sister, Khazar, date-rape drugs and groped her. The prosecution said Lee's blood was found on the blade and that Momeni's DNA was found on the handle.Khazar Momeni took the stand in October, her answers often marked by hazy memories attributed to her drug use.
