Attorneys for defendant Nima Momeni on Tuesday wrapped up their closing argument with a surprise video clip they claimed showed fatal stabbing victim and Cash App founder Bob Lee doing cocaine with the same knife used to kill him hours later.
Defense attorneys brought the case to a dramatic conclusion with their closing arguments in the defendant's high-profile murder trial. The state has accused Momeni of fatally stabbing tech executive Lee in a remote part of San Francisco's East Cut neighborhood on an early morning in April 2023.
Prosecutors have argued the deadly stabbing came after a heated discussion regarding his sister's relationship with Lee and their ongoing drug use.
