The San Francisco prosecutor's office began laying out its case Monday against a tech consultant charged with murder in the stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee, who was found bleeding on a deserted city street in April.
FILE -Nima Momeni, the man charged in the fatal stabbing of Cash App founder Bob Lee, makes his way into the courtroom for his arraignment in San Francisco on May 2, 2023. The San Francisco prosecutor's office starts laying out its murder case against a tech consultant charged in the stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee. The preliminary hearing started Monday, July 31, 2023, before a judge who will decide if there's enough evidence to go to trial.
. Lee created Cash App, a mobile payment service, and was the chief product officer of the cryptocurrency MobileCoin.He faces 26 years to life if convicted. Talai said at a May hearing that the weapon was part of a unique kitchen set belonging to his sister and that analysis showed Momeni’s DNA on the weapon's handle and Lee’s DNA on the bloody blade. Police recovered a knife with a 4-inch blade at the scene.
"When you want to see if someone’s touching something, you do fingerprint analysis, right?" he said. “And they weren’t done on the handle, which is the most important, relevant portion of who, if any, was handling that item.”Momeni brought in Zangeneh and Bradford Cohen, both based in Florida. His first attorney, Paula Canny, withdrew in late May, citing a conflict of interest that she declined to disclose.
The friend said Momeni later questioned Lee about whether his sister was doing drugs or otherwise engaging in inappropriate behavior and Lee said she had not.
