Talking Dateline: Under the Bay Bridge

And the interesting thing was, I didn't know his name. You may not have known his name before this happened, but you knew his work. And inside the tech world, he was very well known. So this kind of hit like a bomb because this was a guy that was very well known, very well liked, and very well regarded.

No, I mean, look, I mean, look, a lot of these guys are just like, you know, world's biggest nerds who have, you know, conquered the world through tech. And what do they do on their time off? Sometimes, as one guy said, it's playing Wii tennis all night long until dawn. And sometimes it's doing something at a different level.

You know, sometimes it's drinking all night long and sometimes it's it's it involves the drug world. You know, one interesting thing. There was a lot of talk about sex at the beginning of this case, that that was going to be part of this sort of Silicon Valley party underworld that was going to be unearthed. Yeah. In the end, this was drugs.

Drugs ended up being sort of the through line that connected all these people. And it turned out to be way less sex than I think people were initially expecting to hear about.

Bob's friends were pretty open about it. Krista, his ex-wife, who remained extremely close to him, was open about it. And nobody was really worried about it except Bob's brother, Oliver, who was concerned about the extent to which he thought Bob was self-medicating because there had been some depression in their family and he thought Bob was dealing with that.

Krista was not worried about his drug use. She never saw that as impairing him personally, him professionally, or his relationship with the kids. And the kids clearly did not feel like they had sort of lost part of him because of that. They were both very attached to him and saw him as a really involved, caring, thoughtful, present parent.

What did you learn about her through the course of this? Her conduct... played a huge role in setting in motion whatever happened next, whatever you believe. But she said something or did something. She suggested a scenario in which something happened that made Nima angry. This is the prosecution's point of view and made him angry that Bob had put Kazar in that situation.

Now, we do know that whatever happened to Kazar, whatever it was, and that's very murky at this point, we know that Bob wasn't present. We know that Bob had already left at that point. Did Kazar, in some subsequent conversation with her brother, blame Bob for what had happened to her? Or did Nima just kind of take that from her, that inference?

Like, oh, Bob must have had something to do with this. You know, that we're sort of never going to know. The sense that you got from this trial was that she would have said or done just about anything to keep her brother safe. out of prison. I mean, she's on the stand and she says, you know, my brother is not the person that killed Bob Lee. She said that.

Well, her brother admits being the person that killed Bob. I mean, that was sort of the problem with her on the stand is he had said, yeah, I did do it, but it was self-defense. That was their defense was he tried to kill me and I ended up stabbing him with his own knife.
