Roughly 19 months after the fatal stabbing of tech exec Bob Lee in San Francisco attracted the nation’s attention, the trial of the man accused of killing him, tech entrepreneur and consultant Nima Momeni, will soon enter its next phrase.
It should be riveting, if the prosecution’s newly wrapped case against Momeni is any indication. Per The San Francisco Standard, the case’s lead police investigator walked jurors through myriad twists and turns surrounding the two-day drug binge Lee was on with Khazar Momeni, the defendant’s sister, including an alleged sexual assault on Khazar Momeni by a drug-dealing friend of Lee, and Nima Momeni’s attack on Lee, who was stabbed three times with a kitchen knife.
Certainly, the details show Lee’s death had nothing to with homelessness in San Francisco, as was initially assumed. On the contrary, the case has so far featured many details you might see in an episode of “Law & Order,” from burner phones, to a BMW resold to a dealership, to video evidence from The Battery, a popular private social club in the city.
