Nima Momeni had no motive to stab Bob Lee to death, opening day of trial in San Francisco hears
The tech consultant charged in Cash App founder Bob Lee’s stabbing death had no motive to kill him and in fact was forced to defend himself against Lee, who had become aggressive while on a multi-day drug bender, lawyers for Nima Momeni said in opening statements on Monday.
Prosecutors say Momeni, 40, planned the 4 April 2023 attack after a dispute over his younger sister, Khazar, with whom Lee was friends. They say Momeni took a knife from a unique set in his sister’s condo, drove Lee to a secluded area and stabbed him three times, then fled.
