Okay, the defense, of course, has a very different theory about what happened that night. Nima and his sister had testified that Nima actually wasn't angry with Bob at all. And Nima even said on the stand that by the time he and Bob ended up in that secluded place in the car, they were friendly, trying to figure out where they wanted to go afterwards.

He testified he then made a bad joke and Bob flipped on him, took out a knife from his pocket. Nima claimed that they tussled with the knife a little bit and he pushed the knife away. Eventually, the knife went on the ground, and he threw it over a fence so Bob couldn't pick it up again. He then said Bob walked away calmly on his phone, and he didn't look like he had any injuries at all.

A major point of disagreement between the two sides is who brought the knife. The prosecution is saying Nima had it, and they seem to be saying that just taking the knife from his sister's apartment indicates that he had intent.

Yes, they said that for sure, that Nima intentionally took the knife from his sister's apartment, then chose to drive Bob to a secluded area, a place he was very familiar with because he had a lot of friends that lived in the area.

And on top of that, even though the defense said, oh, they were on great terms, they were friendly, the prosecutor actually argued, oh, this was actually kind of a ruse to be chummy and pretend because he was actually very upset with Bob. That also shows intent.

Nima's lawyer addressed the knife in his closings as well. How did he counter the prosecution's story that it was in Nima's possession?

Nima's lawyer brought up how tiny the knife was a few times. He actually brought a cardboard cutout of the knife and showed the jury how small it was. So the prosecution's theory is that Nima pulled it from a set of knives at his sister's apartment. The paring knife was missing. So the defense makes this point. Of all the knives around, he picks the smallest, most beat-up knife to commit a murder.

And, you know, Nima has this big jacket on. He could have concealed a cleaver if he wanted to.
