SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — The killer of San Francisco tech mogul Bob Lee filed a $17-million lawsuit against newspapers and other media outlets for coverage of his highly-publicized case.
Convicted murderer Nima Momeni is suing the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Standard, San Francisco Bay Area photographer Paul Kuroda, the New York Post’s publisher, and 100 unnamed defendants.
Kuroda, a former Pulitzer Prize finalist, shot photographs of Momeni smiling in his jail cell leading up to the 2024 murder trial. The New York Post published the photographs with a headline describing the images as “bone-chilling.”
In court documents filed in court December 1, Momeni accused news media outlets of defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violating his civil rights, professional negligence, invasion of privacy, and fraud.
