Closing arguments began Monday in the Bob Lee murder trial. Nima Momeni is accused of stabbing and killing Lee in the early morning hours of April 4, 2023. Momeni previously testified he acted in self-defense.
Prosecutors made their closing arguments, beginning by playing Bob Lee’s 911 call for jurors in which he repeatedly pleaded for help.

The prosecution contrasted that call to Nima Momeni’s lack of call to 911 or police, even though he testified it was Lee who attacked him with a knife after Momeni made a « bad joke » calling into question his priorities and not spending time with his family on his last night in town. The prosecution emphasized the judge’s instructions, that in order to find Momeni guilty of first degree murder, he must have have acted willfully, deliberately and with premeditation.
