His lawyer, Paula Canny, told reporters after the arraignment that the stabbing was a"combination of an accident and self-defense," adding that"there was no premeditation or deliberation" on the part of her client. She did not elaborate on her claim. Momeni later drove Lee to a"dark and secluded area" near downtown San Francisco. That's where Momeni stabbed Lee, then"threw the kitchen knife, fled the scene in his white BMW at a high rate of speed, and left the Victim to slowly die," prosecutors said in the documents.
