“I talked to the attorney today about your overdose and attempted rape case,” Nima Momeni said in a message to Khazar sent after Lee’s death. She replied saying, “Lol, you dumb f—k, Bob never touched me, No one did.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The murder trial of a tech consultant in the stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee begins Monday, a year and a half after the widely admired entrepreneur was found staggering on a deserted downtown San Francisco street seeking help.

Khazar Momeni said Bob Lee did not assault or drug her, and her brother was not angry with Lee the night he was murdered.

On the first day of his murder trial Monday morning, lawyers for Nima Momeni, the IT consultant accused of stabbing Cash App founder Bob Lee, said Lee’s alleged cocaine use and sleep deprivation forced Momeni to “defend himself.”
