Dane Reinstedt emphasized during closing arguments, "There is only one reasonable conclusion about what it is that happened that night. All of the evidence together paints a very clear picture, one that is actually pretty simple." This statement underscored the prosecution's belief that the jury had no other logical option but to convict Momeni based on the compiled evidence presented throughout the trial.
Reinstedt articulated Momeni's motive, stating, "That protectiveness of the defendant's little sister is what led to all of this." This critical statement framed Momeni's actions as not merely impulsive but as a premeditated act fueled by familial obligation and emotional turmoil surrounding his sister.
The defense presented a counterview, asserting that Momeni acted in self-defense. However, prosecutors aimed to dismantle this claim, leveraging new evidence and testimonies that established Momeni's intent. The prosecutor further stressed the necessity to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Momeni had acted with deliberation and premeditation.
The trial gained unprecedented attention, culminating in a full courtroom as closing arguments concluded. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins’s presence underscored the case's significance. Reinstedt's long monologue referenced critical evidence, including camera footage and text messages, that served to refute the defendant’s claims about the night of the murder.
