Prosecutors assert that Nima Momeni planned the attack on Bob Lee in retaliation for a past incident involving Lee's introduction of drugs to his sister, exacerbating existing tensions.
Defense attorneys argue that Bob Lee was under the influence of cocaine and alcohol, suggesting that he instigated the confrontation, thus justifying Momeni's actions as self-defense.
Saam Zangeneh, one of Momeni's attorneys, emphasized the burden on the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the stabbing was not in self-defense, questioning the motives and circumstances surrounding the attack.
Surveillance footage corroborates key moments of the evening, showing Momeni and Lee leaving his sister's condo shortly before the stabbing, which may influence jurors' perceptions of intent.
