The man accused of fatally stabbing Cash App founder Bob Lee in San Francisco last year remained on the stand Thursday for another round of contentious cross-examination by prosecutors.
Nima Momeni has pleaded not guilty to the murder, claiming he was defending himself from an attack by Lee during a drug-fueled rage that ended with Lee fatally stabbed in San Francisco 's Rincon Hill/East Cut neighborhood. Prosecutors allege that Momeni stabbed Lee with a kitchen knife taken from his sister Khazar Momeni's apartment.
The exchanges between the prosecution and Momeni often became heated Thursday. The judge was repeatedly forced to intervene to simmer tensions and one of Momeni's attorneys even jumped in to remind his client to answer the questions. Prosecutors also returned to texts sent by Momeni to his sister about pursuing a rape case against Bob Lee, days after he was already found dead. That's even after Momeni said he was sad and heartbroken to learn of Lee's passing.
