An acquaintance of Cash App founder Bob Lee was found guilty of murdering him on a downtown San Francisco street in April 2023 and faces the possibility of life in prison.
A jury rejected Nima Momeni’s claim that he had stabbed Lee in self-defence after Lee, high on drugs and sleep-deprived, tried to attack him with a knife. Tuesday’s verdict follows about a week of jury deliberations and a high-profile trial that featured more than a month of witness testimony.
