Jurors saw graphic images in court Wednesday as the trial for the man accused of murdering Cash App founder Bob Lee resumed after two scheduled days off for jurors.
Prosecutors in the murder trial of Nima Momeni have accused him of the fatal stabbing of Lee in April of last year in San Francisco’s Rincon Hill/East Cut neighborhood. The trial has been on hold since last week when the strike by San Francisco Superior Court clerks on Thursday canceled the scheduled half-day of testimony. Monday and Tuesday of this week were already planned “dark days” in the trial.
Prosecutor Omid Talai questioned SFPD Officer Milad Rashidian on the witness stand as the jury watched his compilation of surveillance footage taken from the night Lee was fatally stabbed.
Jurors were shown more than an hour of video surveillance footage from before and after the stabbing. Lee could be seen entering the Millenium Tower apartments where Nima’s sister Khazar lives at around 12:45 a.m. Just over an hour later, he is seen leaving the building with Momeni.
