Ex-SF cop may testify killer acted in self-defense
A longtime San Francisco police inspector and use-of-force trainer who believes it “likely” that Nima Momeni stabbed CashApp founder Bob Lee in self-defense may be called to testify before a jury in coming weeks. Today, during a pretrial hearing before San Francisco Superior Court Judge Alexandra Gordon, retired officer Steve Pomatto said it was “the most likely scenario” that Momeni struggled to pin Lee’s hand, which carried a knife, and that resulted in Lee being stabbed three times in April 2023. “Everything else just doesn’t seem as reasonable as the conclusion that I came up with,” Pomatto said, “or that, in my opinion, the physical and digital evidence supports.”Though prosecutor Assistant District Attorney Omid Talai tried today to have Pomatto, a defense witness, excluded from the trial altogether, Gordon reserved her decision for after Momeni’s own testimony, which is expected in coming […]

Doctor to testify Nima Momeni turned Lee’s knife on him
A doctor and former medical examiner, who is being brought into court as an expert witness by the defense, is expected to testify that CashApp founder Bob Lee may have been holding the knife he was killed with last year. The defense contends that in self-defense, Nima Momeni, the man on trial for Lee’s murder, turned it around on him. John Marraccini, a witness expected to testify in Momeni’s defense in coming weeks, suggested today during a hearing in San Francisco Superior Court that the evidence in the case was consistent with someone defensively turning the knife on Lee on April 4, 2023. The prosecution is likely to argue that Momeni attacked Lee from the front. That night, Lee and Momeni left a party together at the Millennium Tower home of Momeni’s sister, Khazar, and stood together in the Rincon Hill neighborhood, […]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Monday said he would apply a 200% tariff on John Deere imports if the agricultural equipment company moves production to Mexico, as planned."As you know, they've announced a few days ago that they are going to move a lot of their manufacturing business to Mexico," Trump said at an event on agriculture and China held in western Pennsylvania."I am just notifying John Deere right now that if you do that, we are putting a 200% tariff on everything that you want to sell into the United States."Earlier this year, the agricultural equipment manufacturer announced that it was laying off some employees in the American Midwest and increasing its production capacity in Mexico, a decision that has upset workers and some political leaders.Trump has frequently said he would slap automakers that move […]
