In the midst of the pandemic, the city of San Francisco went through some changes like many cities in the United States. There is street crime. People get mugged. People get attacked sometimes in the streets. And that was the perception of San Francisco at the time, that this was a dangerous city. And this crime exacerbated that perception.

The attention on this case was immediate. And, you know, for someone like Elon Musk to post this, he had just bought Twitter and had just come to San Francisco to run that company.

So, you know, it's just kind of ratcheting up the attention for this case.

Khazar Momeni probably stands out because she's pretty glamorous. I mean, in San Francisco, again, you have money, but you don't wear your money. And she wears her money.

There's this glamorous spread in a San Francisco magazine of her and her husband, Dino, who they're like being photographed in this skyrise apartment overlooking the city. And she's glamorous and gorgeous.

We know that she's a bit of a party girl. She and Bob Lee hang around with each other. They're in that circle of people who live in these gorgeous high-rise towers in downtown San Francisco.

On the onset, I think some people might have been assuming that there was something more going on beyond just friendship. I mean, there's a handsome guy and there's this glamorous woman and they're hanging around with each other at these parties. I think that was kind of an easy assumption to make.

Thank you.

Yes. There's this glamorous spread in a magazine and she's gorgeous. She and Bob hang around with each other. They're in that circle.

He went on the stand and on direct, followed what seemed to be a pretty tight script as to what to say and how the night went down.

He was like, well, why would someone like you with a family be out here? Why wouldn't you just be with them, right? Instead of trying to go to some strip club. And that apparently, according to Nima Momeni, enraged Bob Lee. At some point, Bob produces a knife from his jacket and he lunges at Nima Momeni and says, Nima manages to redirect the knife.

The way he tells it on the stand is really a gloss over. He barely even mentioned that he happened to have tapped him twice in the chest, right?

He thought Bob Lee was fine. It seemed from his testimony that he didn't even realize that Bob Lee was injured. The defense team asks, well, why did you toss the knife? And he said, well, so he couldn't get to it afterward.

There was multiple attempts by the prosecutor to try to poke holes in his story. And he did hang on to dear life or to that story. And you could see on the stand that his nature is to get a little combative and will turn and start asking you questions of what's going on.

I mean, in San Francisco, you have money, but you don't wear your money. And she wears her money.

The defense attorney, Sam Zongane, says, look, that's the knife. Very dramatic.

The video is outside the battery, and it's of Bo and Bob, and they walk out onto the street. Bob does a motion where he scoops something and then does this whole thing.

The defense attorney, Sam Zongane, says, look, look at the thing that he's got. Look, it's about as long as what we know is the murder weapon. And he's using it to do, that's it. That's the knife. Very dramatic.

On the sixth day, as we're all waiting there, we see some odd things with this jury because they go to lunch early and then they come back and then they go on their afternoon break and we see one juror sitting with his head down like this. two benches away from us. We're the media, right? We can't get video of him because we're not allowed to interact with the jurors.

But we can see him sitting by himself with his head down. The rest of them, they leave the building.

San Francisco is an interesting city because you know you live in the tech world, but most residents don't know who these people are. But people in the tech industry knew who Bob Lee is.
