Defendant Nima Momeni spars with prosecutor over details leading up to Bob Lee's death
Briefly

During the cross-examination, Momeni reiterated that his 'bad joke' led to a violent confrontation, stating, 'If it were my last night, I'd rather be with family than at strip clubs.' This remark acted as the catalyst for Lee’s aggressive response, which included circling him and brandishing a knife.
Momeni's testimony introduced doubt about the events leading to the stabbing. He mentioned, 'When Bob walked away, he looked fine,' suggesting that he was not aware of any immediate injury or issue after their altercation.
Despite being cornered by the prosecutor about why he threw the knife, Momeni said, 'At the time, it made sense because he was walking away,' indicating a confused state of mind during the incident.
Momeni's defense hinges on self-defense, yet he admitted, 'I thought maybe someone else had killed Bob Lee,' following a series of contradictory statements about the knife and his actions.
