Jury reaches verdict — to be revealed Tuesday

The jury has reached a verdict in the murder trial of Nima Momeni, the man accused of stabbing Cash App founder Bob Lee to death in April 2023.That verdict will be read in a San Francisco courtroom on Tuesday morning. Jurors have been deliberating on whether to convict Momeni of murder — or a lesser charge — for nearly seven days.

Jury shown video of Nima Momeni’s stabbing motions

In a win for the prosecution, jurors today were shown a video in which alleged killer Nima Momeni made distinct stabbing motions, which prosecutors say match those that killed Cash App founder Bob Lee. The video was shown over objections from Momeni’s defense team. The jury was also shown images of the exact locations of Lee’s stab wounds, during testimony from Assistant Medical Examiner Ellen Moffatt. The video was recorded by San Francisco police Sgt. David Goff, who was tracking Momeni’s movements in the days after the stabbing in April 2023. When he captured Momeni on video, the defendant was talking to Brian Hedley, a private investigator who worked for Momeni’s former defense attorney, Paula Canny.  In the video, Hedley and Momeni are standing in the parking lot at Canny’s office and the video shows Momeni making three arm movements — two to […]
