Nearly 16 months after a jury convicted him of murdering Cash App founder Bob Lee, Nima Momeni is fighting for a new trial. His attorney will be in court Friday as part of that effort — the latest chapter in a case that has refused to stay closed.
“We are preparing a motion for a new trial based on a number of issues that prevented him from getting a fair trial the first time around,” said Daniel Shriro, the head of Momeni’s third legal team.
Momeni, who has yet to be sentenced, faces 16 years to life in prison.
