- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Remember the founder of cash app, Bob Lee. He was murdered,
- 0:14Speaker 2: according to prosecutors, and now taking a very controversial center
- 0:19Speaker 2: stage in the courtroom is his glamorous sister. But why,
- 0:26Speaker 2: I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank you for
- 0:29Speaker 2: being with us. It seems like just yesterday. In a
- 0:34Speaker 2: very disturbing nine on one call played in court, Lee, the
- 0:39Speaker 2: cash app founder, is heard begging for help before his death.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Help help, help, he says to the dispatcher who asks
- 0:50Speaker 2: his location. He goes on, somebody stab me, help me,
- 0:54Speaker 2: Please help me.
- 0:55Speaker 1: I'm standing on the street.
- 0:56Speaker 2: I need to get to the hospital, moaning in pain.
- 1:01Speaker 2: You can hear him begging before sirens are heard in
- 1:03Speaker 2: the background and the nine on one call abruptly ends.
- 1:08Speaker 2: The dad of two could not be saved. He died.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Prosecutors are now accusing the brother of the so called
- 1:20Speaker 2: glamorous Casarmomini of carefully planning the knife attack and even
- 1:26Speaker 2: taking a very unique knife from his sister's kitchen before
- 1:32Speaker 2: driving Bob Lee to a secluded area and stabbing him dead. Now,
- 1:39Speaker 2: I find it really interesting that a lot of outlets
- 1:44Speaker 2: the headline is that this glam sister of cash app
- 1:49Speaker 2: founder Bob Lee, debuts a new look. This is while
- 1:55Speaker 2: she's being blamed for the fight that caused Bob Lee's murder. Okay,
- 2:01Speaker 2: why is her outfit so important? Well, I can just
- 2:05Speaker 2: tell you this. She showed up to court wearing a
- 2:08Speaker 2: Pastelle blue silk Valentino dress with a bow at the
- 2:13Speaker 2: neckline that sells for nearly six thousand dollars. Okay. She
- 2:23Speaker 2: accessorized the look with large white framed glasses and a
- 2:30Speaker 2: small white clutch. Now, her stunning new appearance is very
- 2:37Speaker 2: different from the last time she was seen with darker
- 2:41Speaker 2: hair and an all black outfit. Whatever, don't care what
- 2:46Speaker 2: happened to the cash app founder.
- 2:49Speaker 1: I want you to take a listen to our friends
- 2:52Speaker 1: at in Mec.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Police say Lee was attacked not far from the Bay
- 2:56Speaker 3: Bridge at two thirty five am Tuesday. The area, thought
- 3:00Speaker 3: to be a safe part of the city, is dotted
- 3:02Speaker 3: with surveillance cameras. Before collapsing on a sidewalk, Lee screamed
- 3:09Speaker 3: for help on his phone, saying someone stabbed me. According
- 3:12Speaker 3: to surveillance footage and records reviewed by the San Francisco Standard.
- 3:16Speaker 4: These images obtained by the Daily Mail Chouf tech exec
- 3:19Speaker 4: Bobb Lee stumbling along Main Street in San Francisco's Rincon
- 3:23Speaker 4: Hill neighborhood. You see him through the front glass doors
- 3:26Speaker 4: of the port Side apartment building. He attempts to use
- 3:29Speaker 4: the call box, then falls to the ground. Sources say
- 3:33Speaker 4: he had two stab wounds in his upper left chest.
- 3:36Speaker 4: He was on the ground for about ten seconds before
- 3:38Speaker 4: standing up. We now know he was walking towards a
- 3:41Speaker 4: police car minutes later. Lee died at the scene.
- 3:44Speaker 5: We have some leads to follow up on. I can't
- 3:47Speaker 5: disclose what those are now as early on an investigation,
- 3:51Speaker 5: but I'm hopeful and I'm very confident.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Can you imagine what this guy is going through. He
- 4:00Speaker 2: has two gorgeous little girls he's raising.
- 4:07Speaker 1: He has had an.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Incredible rise and meteoric rise in the tech industry, as
- 4:15Speaker 2: I said, a visionary.
- 4:17Speaker 1: And in those moments.
- 4:19Speaker 2: After he stabbed multiple times, he's staggering up and down
- 4:25Speaker 2: the streets trying to get help, but there is no help.
- 4:32Speaker 1: As you heard, this is.
- 4:34Speaker 2: In the exclusive Runcon area there the city by the Bay,
- 4:42Speaker 2: And I've thought about this over and over because my
- 4:45Speaker 2: memories of this area are all good. We've got an
- 4:50Speaker 2: all star panel to make sense of what we know
- 4:51Speaker 2: right now.
- 4:52Speaker 1: But first I want to go to.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Chief investigative reporter for dailymail dot Com, Jen Smith, joining us, Jen,
- 5:00Speaker 2: thank you for being with us. This has brought so
- 5:04Speaker 2: much higher in scrutiny on the city that someone could
- 5:09Speaker 2: be stabbed literally in playing view on Main Street.
- 5:15Speaker 1: What happened?
- 5:16Speaker 6: Yeah? Well, I mean everything you just said is right, Nancy,
- 5:19Speaker 6: and it has brought so much added negative attention to
- 5:24Speaker 6: San Francisco and to this particular neighborhood in San Francisco.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Tell me about the neighborhood, because I don't know.
- 5:30Speaker 6: That well Mission you know, Main Street near Mission Street,
- 5:33Speaker 6: downtown exclusive. We're talking luxury apartment buildings, nice coffee shops, restaurants, stars.
- 5:41Speaker 6: San Francisco we all know, over the last few years
- 5:44Speaker 6: has received a lot of bad press about some of
- 5:46Speaker 6: the not so night parts of the time. This isn't
- 5:49Speaker 6: really one of them.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Okay, now wait a minute, Jen, guys with me. And
- 5:53Speaker 1: a lot of this case that we have.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Learned is because of exclusive footage and photos obtained idailymail
- 6:01Speaker 2: dot com.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Tell me, well, I.
- 6:03Speaker 6: Think it's no secret that many major cities New York
- 6:06Speaker 6: included San Francisco, another one has struggled with, you know,
- 6:10Speaker 6: issues like homelessness and right, you know, rising crime, especially
- 6:14Speaker 6: since COVID, a lot of things have changed. So this attack,
- 6:19Speaker 6: a brutal attack in an area that was, like you described, beautiful,
- 6:25Speaker 6: nice part of town. It really brought added fear to
- 6:28Speaker 6: the community. You know, how could something like this happen
- 6:32Speaker 6: seemingly at random to an innocent father of two.
- 6:36Speaker 2: You know what's interesting about what Jensmith or Daily Mail
- 6:40Speaker 2: is saying. At first, I want to go to Jarrett Farentino,
- 6:44Speaker 2: homicide prosecutor out of Pennsylvania.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Jared, thank you so much for being with.
- 6:50Speaker 7: U's my pleasure.
- 6:51Speaker 2: It's I can't stay that why it's disturbing so many
- 6:58Speaker 2: people that this tech uru is stabbed at on Main Street.
- 7:02Speaker 2: But I think what's shocking everyone so much is it's
- 7:06Speaker 2: out of the norm. For instance, we say, oh, that's
- 7:11Speaker 2: a high crime area. My husband told me the other
- 7:13Speaker 2: day he was going to have a business lunch on
- 7:17Speaker 2: I'll think of it's a really funny krog KRG Krog Street.
- 7:22Speaker 2: I'm like, don't cancel that, don't go there, and you
- 7:25Speaker 2: go what is wrong with us? Said prosecuted so many
- 7:28Speaker 2: aggravated assaults and homicide rapes on Crog Street and the
- 7:34Speaker 2: Krog Street area of Atlanta.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Don't go there. That's crazy talk. Who set that up?
- 7:39Speaker 2: Well, since the time I prosecuted, it's been all gentrified.
- 7:43Speaker 2: There's all these cool coffee shops and restaurants. The point
- 7:47Speaker 2: is when we hear that a murder occurred in a
- 7:52Speaker 2: low or no crime area, everybody shocked. But crime is everywhere,
- 7:58Speaker 2: Jarrett Fiorentino. That's what people don't understand, including this fancy area,
- 8:04Speaker 2: high flute area of the city by the Bay.
- 8:07Speaker 7: It is everywhere. There's a tolerance, nancy for regions where
- 8:12Speaker 7: we call high crime areas, but it is always shocking
- 8:15Speaker 7: when you see something so violent and it's stabbing. Nonetheless,
- 8:19Speaker 7: this isn't a shooting. This is a very very close act,
- 8:24Speaker 7: a very violent act, multiple stabbings. It's intentional, and the
- 8:29Speaker 7: fear is that anyone in that community can now become
- 8:32Speaker 7: a victim. And that's why it's so shocking.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Okay, I liked everything you just said. I cannot even
- 8:38Speaker 2: argue with him. Okay, that part I don't like. But
- 8:42Speaker 2: what you just said to doctor John Delatory, joining us
- 8:46Speaker 2: licensed psychologist and mediator. He specializes in forensic psychology. You
- 8:52Speaker 2: can find him on TikTok At Doctor John, Doctor John.
- 8:57Speaker 2: What he just said about stabbing, and we talked about
- 8:59Speaker 2: this in depth with the slang of those four beautiful
- 9:05Speaker 2: vibrant University Idaho students.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Stabbing and I learned this as a prosecutor.
- 9:10Speaker 2: It's a whole different animal than shooting somebody at a
- 9:14Speaker 2: distance of even three feet five feet ten feet twenty
- 9:18Speaker 2: feet sniper shot job.
- 9:20Speaker 1: By shooting that is.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Impersonal, you're not up close and personal with your victim.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Stabbing is a whole different psychopathy.
- 9:28Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely is. It's one of those things where it's
- 9:30Speaker 8: more intimate. Right, You get up close with someone and
- 9:33Speaker 8: you can feel the life draining out of them as
- 9:36Speaker 8: you continue to stab them. So this is someone who
- 9:39Speaker 8: has a very personal vendetta against the victim, that's willing
- 9:43Speaker 8: to walk up to someone and do this kind of action.
- 9:46Speaker 8: Because it's also physically exhausting, So you've got to be
- 9:48Speaker 8: determined to do this act.
- 9:50Speaker 2: And there were multiple stab wounds here, either two or three.
- 9:54Speaker 2: I mean, there was no way this guy was going
- 9:57Speaker 2: to walk away alive or brand joining me s you're
- 10:00Speaker 2: Inspector US Marshall Service International Investigations, author of Solo Shot,
- 10:06Speaker 2: Curse of the Bluestone, and Flying Solo Top of the World,
- 10:10Speaker 2: both on Amazon. Flying Solo Top of the World awesome.
- 10:13Speaker 2: I haven't read Bluestone yet, but I'm going to IRV Brant.
- 10:16Speaker 2: What Jarrett Farentino just said that we quote tolerate crime
- 10:22Speaker 2: in high crime areas.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I don't tolerate crime anywhere. But we're not numb.
- 10:29Speaker 2: But we're not what shocked when we hear about a murder,
- 10:35Speaker 2: an agassault, a rape in a high crime area because
- 10:39Speaker 2: we are conditioned.
- 10:41Speaker 1: To believe that. But in a let me just say.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Fancy, influential, prestigious area like this, we are shot because
- 10:50Speaker 2: it never happens.
- 10:51Speaker 9: That's correct, Nancy. And just like the prosecutor said, and
- 10:56Speaker 9: I live in Las Vegas, and this sort of thing
- 11:01Speaker 9: happens on the Las Vegas Strip, people are stunt. It's
- 11:05Speaker 9: all over the news. If it happened on the West
- 11:08Speaker 9: end of Las Vegas, where people buy drugs and things
- 11:11Speaker 9: like that, not so much. The news coverage wouldn't be
- 11:15Speaker 9: so much.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Okay, what about this, you're talking about Vegas or brand
- 11:19Speaker 2: That's correct, it's one thing. If somebody dies in the
- 11:23Speaker 2: area where there's hookers in drugs, that life is no
- 11:28Speaker 2: more or less important than if somebody stabbed in the
- 11:32Speaker 2: lobby of the very expensive Wind hotel. That's correct, but
- 11:37Speaker 2: we're more shocked because it is so rare in an
- 11:42Speaker 2: area like the Wind lobby.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying.
- 11:45Speaker 9: That's exactly what I'm saying. It's a wow factor. If
- 11:49Speaker 9: someone gets stabbed while they're watching the Fountain show in
- 11:52Speaker 9: front of the Blagio.
- 11:54Speaker 1: You mean, like in Ocean's eleven.
- 11:55Speaker 9: Yeah, that could have been me.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Yes, that's psychology.
- 11:58Speaker 2: I'm glad you said that because I believe doctor John
- 12:02Speaker 2: Delatory and everybody jump in.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Do I have to tell you this.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Is not high tea at Windsor Castle with King Charles.
- 12:09Speaker 2: All right, jump in, let's brainstorm on this. It could
- 12:14Speaker 2: have been me factor. I think that's why when people
- 12:20Speaker 2: I noticed a lot during the Eliza Fletcher case. The
- 12:22Speaker 2: young teacher out of Memphis, she had two or three children,
- 12:28Speaker 2: a little, preschool aged children and younger. He went jogging
- 12:32Speaker 2: at four am and she was brutally attacked, raped and
- 12:38Speaker 2: murdered by a repeat offender that had an outstanding rape.
- 12:42Speaker 1: He was out wandering free.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Everyone said, Oh, why was she out jogging at four am?
- 12:50Speaker 1: Why it's her fault? It was dark? Why was she out? Well,
- 12:54Speaker 1: why shouldn't she be?
- 12:55Speaker 2: And I think people say that not because they're ill
- 12:58Speaker 2: spirited or mean hearted. I think that they like to think, well,
- 13:02Speaker 2: that's never going to happen to me, and they continue
- 13:06Speaker 2: to feel safe.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Doctor delatory.
- 13:08Speaker 2: It makes them feel they can go through life feeling safe,
- 13:12Speaker 2: with blinders on to the.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Fact that they're not safe. Just like this guy Bobbly
- 13:16Speaker 1: was not safe.
- 13:17Speaker 8: No, he wasn't safe, because it's the threat that you
- 13:21Speaker 8: are never taken into account. So in some ways it's
- 13:24Speaker 8: a threat that comes from someone in your inner circle,
- 13:27Speaker 8: or sometimes the threat comes from a complete stranger because
- 13:30Speaker 8: you're not prepared for something like that.
- 13:32Speaker 10: There's a comfort.
- 13:33Speaker 8: Nature when it comes to routine, and so the more
- 13:36Speaker 8: often we're doing routine, the less likely we are to
- 13:39Speaker 8: pay attention to our surroundings and to recognize when things
- 13:42Speaker 8: might happen to us that are nefarious in nature. And
- 13:46Speaker 8: so the more often we feel comfortable, the more we
- 13:48Speaker 8: turn our blinders on. And that's what we can find
- 13:51Speaker 8: ourselves very vulnerable.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Well, put guys, let's move this forward. Take a listen
- 13:55Speaker 2: to Chief Bill Scott. San Francisco p D.
- 13:58Speaker 5: At approximately two am, San Francisco Police officers from Southern
- 14:03Speaker 5: Station responded to the three hundred block of Main Street
- 14:07Speaker 5: for a report of a stabbing.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Officers arrived on scene and.
- 14:10Speaker 5: Located the victim, later identified as forty three year old
- 14:13Speaker 5: Robert Lee, suffering from an apparent stab wound. Officers rendered
- 14:17Speaker 5: aid and Simon medics to the scene.
- 14:19Speaker 9: Mister Lee was.
- 14:20Speaker 5: Transported to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital with life threatening
- 14:24Speaker 5: injuries despite efforts by first responders and medical personnel.
- 14:36Speaker 2: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, It's all coming to a
- 14:42Speaker 2: head in a court of law. Cash app founder Bob
- 14:45Speaker 2: Lee's ex wife, Christa was seen entering the courthouse wearing
- 14:50Speaker 2: a somber black outfit. The defendant, Nima's attorneys have requested
- 14:56Speaker 2: the ex wife, Christa, who call Nima's sister the quote
- 15:00Speaker 2: horror of high tower hmm. The defense is asking that
- 15:06Speaker 2: Bobbley's ex wife, Christa not be allowed in the courtroom
- 15:11Speaker 2: when the glam sister of the defendant Khazar testifies. The
- 15:16Speaker 2: defense claims that Christa Bobley's ex wife has been quote
- 15:20Speaker 2: playing detective and has no intention right and has no
- 15:26Speaker 2: intention of stopping. But why would that exclude her from
- 15:29Speaker 2: the courtroom. Can we get back to the facts what happened,
- 15:36Speaker 2: doctor Pandy? Thank you for taking time to be with us.
- 15:40Speaker 2: I'm just imagining what Bob Lee. I mean, did he
- 15:43Speaker 2: think about Dagne and Scout as two little girls in
- 15:47Speaker 2: his last moments? I know he had time to think.
- 15:51Speaker 2: You know, so many times we get a shooting wound
- 15:54Speaker 2: gsw to the head or to the heart or the chest,
- 15:58Speaker 2: and we know the person either dies immediately instantly or
- 16:03Speaker 2: within you know, ten to fifteen seconds, the heart pumps out.
- 16:08Speaker 1: All the blood in their body, they bleed out. In
- 16:11Speaker 1: this case, bob Lee had time to suffer. He knew
- 16:18Speaker 1: he was dying, and.
- 16:20Speaker 2: There's video of him staggering up and down the streets
- 16:25Speaker 2: asking for help. What would he have physically and mentally
- 16:29Speaker 2: experienced in those moments, doctor Pandy?
- 16:33Speaker 10: So, yes, you're right, he did have some time to think.
- 16:36Speaker 10: If he was probably stabbed to the left chest or
- 16:41Speaker 10: in that area, he's probably got instructed the lungs. As
- 16:45Speaker 10: he's beating internally slowly, he's probably not thinking that he'll die,
- 16:50Speaker 10: but he's not thinking that what's happening. But he's trying
- 16:54Speaker 10: to see himself and trying to see that. You know
- 16:57Speaker 10: what's going on.
- 16:58Speaker 2: When your lungs begin to fill up with blood, Doctor
- 17:02Speaker 2: Manisha Pandy, What does the victim experience?
- 17:06Speaker 10: He's suffocate internally, so.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Moment by moment, it's harder and harder, more difficult for
- 17:13Speaker 2: you to breathe, and this guy continues walking. Jen Smith,
- 17:18Speaker 2: Chief investigator reporter, dealmail dot Com. The video, doesn't it
- 17:22Speaker 2: show him walking up to trying to get to a
- 17:24Speaker 2: building and the wall like a lobby of a hotel
- 17:28Speaker 2: or an apartment is glass, And he's going up there
- 17:32Speaker 2: looking inside the glass, and he's staggering and bleeding, and.
- 17:36Speaker 1: His lungs are filling up with blood.
- 17:38Speaker 2: It's starting to come up in his mouth, in his
- 17:41Speaker 2: nose when he takes a breath. Don't am I remembering
- 17:46Speaker 2: correctly that there was a glass wall he staggered up to?
- 17:49Speaker 1: There was?
- 17:49Speaker 6: Yeah, he was staggering towards what we now know was
- 17:53Speaker 6: an apartment building lobby. We don't know whether or not
- 17:56Speaker 6: he knew where he was going, if he was looking
- 17:58Speaker 6: for anyone in particular, it seems to me and I
- 18:02Speaker 6: think to everyone else who watches a video, that this
- 18:04Speaker 6: was a man who was just utterly desperate for help.
- 18:07Speaker 6: He would have taken it from anyone. And it's pretty
- 18:10Speaker 6: disturbing footage. He is really struggling to walk, he's holding
- 18:15Speaker 6: onto his wounds. It looks like he's quite disorientated, which
- 18:20Speaker 6: anyone would be given the circumstances on a man in
- 18:25Speaker 6: the final moments of his life.
- 18:26Speaker 1: I'm just imagining that.
- 18:28Speaker 2: And of course, as you know, Jarrett Fiorentino, high profile prosecutor.
- 18:33Speaker 11: The state, if this ever does go to a trial,
- 18:37Speaker 11: is never allowed to put the jurors in the shoes
- 18:42Speaker 11: of the victim.
- 18:44Speaker 2: But you can't say things like one can only imagine
- 18:51Speaker 2: what Lee was going through as he staggered, bleeding the
- 18:57Speaker 2: blood by now going down his pants, coming out of
- 19:00Speaker 2: his abdomen, and his lungs slowly backing up to.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Where he can't take another breath.
- 19:08Speaker 2: You can't say what if that was you, or what
- 19:10Speaker 2: if that was your father or your brother or your son.
- 19:13Speaker 2: You can't say that, but you can certainly strike a
- 19:17Speaker 2: visual image and the hearts and minds of the gr
- 19:20Speaker 2: rs isn't that true?
- 19:21Speaker 7: Absolutely, Nancy, And you know the imagination can't help but
- 19:27Speaker 7: run wild. You know, the footage is greeny, and when
- 19:30Speaker 7: you know what's actually happening there, you start to fill
- 19:33Speaker 7: in the details. You start to fill in, like you
- 19:36Speaker 7: described the blood filling into his mouth and his nose,
- 19:40Speaker 7: and the desperation you seese trying to use his phone.
- 19:43Speaker 7: Some things you don't have to say to a jury.
- 19:45Speaker 7: They're going to go there themselves, and you're going to say,
- 19:48Speaker 7: as a human being, how can't you put yourself in
- 19:51Speaker 7: those shoes? How can't you think about a time you
- 19:55Speaker 7: couldn't breathe or needed help and was desperately seeking someone's assistance.
- 20:00Speaker 7: And that really is such a powerful piece of evidence
- 20:04Speaker 7: that will ultimately and hopefully be presented in a trial
- 20:07Speaker 7: for this case.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Doctor Manisha Pandy joining as she forensic pathologists for Forensic
- 20:12Speaker 2: Pathologist LLC. Doctor Pandy, I remember the first time and
- 20:16Speaker 2: I was into I guess this was my third or
- 20:19Speaker 2: fourth homicide trial. I went to the medical exam and
- 20:21Speaker 2: I said, what is that. I don't understand this blood
- 20:24Speaker 2: pattern at all?
- 20:25Speaker 1: And she said, I think she's the word aspirate. There
- 20:30Speaker 1: was a.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Fine mist of blood on something, and it's where the
- 20:35Speaker 2: victim was breathing in and it.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Would except with exhale a mist of blood.
- 20:41Speaker 7: That's correct.
- 20:42Speaker 9: That's what happens.
- 20:43Speaker 10: Is you're getting stabbed in the lungs. Your lungs now
- 20:48Speaker 10: start filling up with blood and then you're inhaling a
- 20:51Speaker 10: failing You'll start asperating and then you aspirate the blood
- 20:55Speaker 10: and then you can just you know, when you are
- 20:59Speaker 10: exit the fineness of blood and fluids come out along
- 21:04Speaker 10: with your breath and you're really struggling.
- 21:06Speaker 1: I understand.
- 21:08Speaker 2: With this stabbing first occurred, there was so much media
- 21:12Speaker 2: surrounding it, and I.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Thought, what is this about?
- 21:14Speaker 2: Is it because it's an expensive area, because stabbings happen
- 21:18Speaker 2: every day, and seemingly nobody cares.
- 21:21Speaker 1: Well.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Take a listen to our cut two. This is Miguel
- 21:24Speaker 2: Almgure with NBC.
- 21:26Speaker 3: The father of two, who had recently moved to Miami.
- 21:29Speaker 3: Was more than a tech icon, his wife saying, Bob
- 21:33Speaker 3: Lee was the most incredible and beautiful human being. He
- 21:36Speaker 3: was everyone's best friend. Police still have no suspects or
- 21:41Speaker 3: motive for the murder.
- 21:42Speaker 9: It's gonna be.
- 21:43Speaker 8: Hard to imagine a world where you can't call Bob
- 21:46Speaker 8: and say.
- 21:47Speaker 9: Hey, I had this problem I'm thinking through can you
- 21:49Speaker 9: help me through it?
- 21:50Speaker 8: He was an absolutely instrumental person in the tech industry.
- 21:53Speaker 3: This morning, the high profile murder of a tech pioneer
- 21:57Speaker 3: killed while walking the streets in this city under increased
- 22:01Speaker 3: scrutiny for its safety.
- 22:03Speaker 2: A visionary, a tech guru, and there's more. Take a
- 22:07Speaker 2: listener forensic crime online.
- 22:09Speaker 12: He's been described as that person that everyone wants to
- 22:12Speaker 12: be around. Bob Lee's gregarious personality drew people in. Friends
- 22:16Speaker 12: described Lye as happy, go lucky and an enthusiastic ball
- 22:20Speaker 12: of energy. Lee had been a water polo star at
- 22:22Speaker 12: Lindberg High School outside of Saint Louis, but in college
- 22:26Speaker 12: his passions turned to technology. In fact, in the early
- 22:29Speaker 12: two thousands, while in college, Lee developed a solution to
- 22:32Speaker 12: the code red virus, which plagued computers worldwide. He wrote
- 22:36Speaker 12: and released a program that users could implement to deflect
- 22:39Speaker 12: the virus. Lee's muscle in the tech world grew. He
- 22:43Speaker 12: published an influential manual on the code language Java, then
- 22:47Speaker 12: worked with Google's AdWords. In twenty ten, Square recruited Lee
- 22:51Speaker 12: to become its CTO chief technical Officer, where he helped
- 22:55Speaker 12: build cash app. When Square went public in twenty fifteen, Lee,
- 22:59Speaker 12: the extrovert, social technical genius and father of two, became
- 23:03Speaker 12: a millionaire overnight.
- 23:04Speaker 1: So this is the guy that created cash app.
- 23:08Speaker 2: It's a P to P person to person transferring app
- 23:12Speaker 2: on your phone.
- 23:13Speaker 1: This is the guy that created that kind of like Venmo.
- 23:17Speaker 1: And there's more.
- 23:18Speaker 2: I want you to take a listen hour cut four
- 23:20Speaker 2: rob Nesbit Kron.
- 23:22Speaker 13: Lee had a successful career in tech as a founder
- 23:25Speaker 13: of cash app, former chief technology officer of Square, and
- 23:28Speaker 13: chief product officer at mobile Coin. His death caused a
- 23:31Speaker 13: firestorm of posts on social media about violent crimes in
- 23:34Speaker 13: San Francisco. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins posted on Twitter Wednesday saying,
- 23:38Speaker 13: quote protecting public safety and holding violent repeat offenders accountable
- 23:42Speaker 13: as a top priority for my administration. The DA extended
- 23:46Speaker 13: her condolences to Lee's friends and family who are trying
- 23:48Speaker 13: to figure out the tough question of why.
- 23:51Speaker 14: I can't imagine anyone targeting Bob. He was not a
- 23:56Speaker 14: person who garnered any sort of animosity towards people anything.
- 24:00Speaker 14: He garnered respect and love, and people really enjoyed hanging
- 24:04Speaker 14: out with him.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Joining right now is our own tech guru, Ben Levitan,
- 24:09Speaker 2: telecommunications expert, joining.
- 24:11Speaker 1: Us out of Raleigh. You can find him at Ben
- 24:14Speaker 1: Levetan dot com. You know, Ben, I've admired you for
- 24:17Speaker 1: so long.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Because the way you think tech experts think differently than
- 24:26Speaker 2: Shakespeare in literature, majors or lawyers.
- 24:30Speaker 1: It's a whole different mindset.
- 24:32Speaker 2: You see the world in code like a seer a
- 24:35Speaker 2: page full of numbers, and that makes sense to you,
- 24:38Speaker 2: doesn't make sense to everybody else.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Is it a different mindset?
- 24:42Speaker 2: And how did somebody like Bobby rise to the very
- 24:45Speaker 2: top of his industry?
- 24:47Speaker 15: It's really thanks for that, Andrew. That's the best intro
- 24:50Speaker 15: I've ever had. Nancy, thank you. The fact is, you know,
- 24:56Speaker 15: I've been an engineer for thirty years focused on the
- 24:59Speaker 15: cell phone network. We think very black and white. Things
- 25:01Speaker 15: either work or do not work. There's no gray area
- 25:05Speaker 15: with the engineers. But Bob Lee's magic or what made
- 25:11Speaker 15: him so successful, is he's able to understand what people want,
- 25:17Speaker 15: what non engineers understand. The best engineer is going to
- 25:20Speaker 15: be someone who understands what a non engineer wants to see.
- 25:26Speaker 15: That's why Apple's been so successful. It's very very simple.
- 25:30Speaker 15: Bob understood that people wanted a quick, easy way to
- 25:36Speaker 15: pay each other exchange money. The big thing that he
- 25:40Speaker 15: understood it was not everybody has a bank account. The
- 25:43Speaker 15: other big thing he understood is it had to be simple,
- 25:47Speaker 15: an instant, and that they wouldn't mind paying a small
- 25:51Speaker 15: percentage of that for him to facilitate the services. Ironically, Nancy,
- 25:57Speaker 15: in this case, the best evidence is going to come
- 26:00Speaker 15: off the cash app. Every time you make a transaction,
- 26:05Speaker 15: the cash aff is going to record your location, it's
- 26:08Speaker 15: going to record the two parties who were doing the transaction.
- 26:14Speaker 15: It's going to have their mobile phone numbers. There's going
- 26:17Speaker 15: to be so much evidence right there.
- 26:20Speaker 2: So you just put that in a way that even I,
- 26:24Speaker 2: a literature major, can understand. Okay, so who would do
- 26:29Speaker 2: this thing to attack Guru, a visionary note around the
- 26:34Speaker 2: world and a father of two, I might add take
- 26:37Speaker 2: a listen to our cud.
- 26:40Speaker 12: Just after two am Tuesday morning, Bob Lee called police.
- 26:43Speaker 12: He was near San Francisco's Bay Bridge. He reportedly yelled
- 26:47Speaker 12: into his phone, help someone stabbed me. Surveillance footage showed
- 26:51Speaker 12: Lee struggling to walk up a city street. He tried
- 26:54Speaker 12: to wave down a white cameray with its hazard lights on.
- 26:57Speaker 12: The camera drives away and Lee collapses on the ground.
- 27:00Speaker 12: Six minutes later, the police arrived and Lee is unconscious
- 27:03Speaker 12: and bleeding uncontrollably. Lee has been stabbed three times, once
- 27:08Speaker 12: in the hip and twice in the chest.
- 27:10Speaker 2: So now a mystery car emerges, a car that speeds
- 27:14Speaker 2: away when.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Lee circles back to it. Why, here's more from.
- 27:20Speaker 3: Our friends at NBC authorities, calling it a planned and
- 27:23Speaker 3: deliberate attack.
- 27:25Speaker 16: There is evidence regarding motive that has been located in
- 27:29Speaker 16: this case, but certainly we have to make sure that
- 27:32Speaker 16: we look at every avenue.
- 27:34Speaker 3: This video, obtained by the Dailymail dot Com, shows Lee
- 27:38Speaker 3: staggering away after the attack. Police later found a text
- 27:42Speaker 3: message from Kazar Moomenty on Lee's phone. Just wanted to
- 27:46Speaker 3: make sure you're doing okay because I know Nima came
- 27:49Speaker 3: way down hard on you and thank you for being
- 27:52Speaker 3: such a classy man handling it with class.
- 27:56Speaker 2: Love you Okay, Well, it looks like yet again Ben
- 27:59Speaker 2: Levitat is right.
- 28:01Speaker 1: The cops are combing through Lee's cell.
- 28:06Speaker 2: Phone crime stories with Nancy Grace, a suspected killer's glamorous
- 28:21Speaker 2: sister who was allegedly at sex parties with the cash
- 28:26Speaker 2: app founder Bob Lee before he was stabbed dead. The
- 28:32Speaker 2: sister taking center stage. How is that well? At the
- 28:38Speaker 2: middle millionaire cash app founder Bob Lee's murder trial is
- 28:43Speaker 2: the suspect the suspected killer's sister. She is a plastic
- 28:48Speaker 2: surgeon's wife who was reportedly involved in San Francisco's underground
- 28:55Speaker 2: party scene, which can often involve drugs and swinging sex.
- 29:01Speaker 2: What is wrong with witch p What is wrong with
- 29:03Speaker 2: rich people? Why can't they just go home, have dinner
- 29:06Speaker 2: and watch TV and count their money?
- 29:09Speaker 1: Whatever?
- 29:11Speaker 2: Kazar Iliosnia, thirty eight, was allegedly partying and sleeping with
- 29:17Speaker 2: Bob Lee when her brother, Nima Momini, stabbed Lee dead
- 29:25Speaker 2: on April fourth. Now, that night, Bob Lee was found
- 29:29Speaker 2: bleeding out begging for help in San Francisco to thirty
- 29:33Speaker 2: a m. Just a half an hour thirty minutes after
- 29:38Speaker 2: he was spotted leaving the sister kazar Iliosnia's really expensive
- 29:44Speaker 2: millennium tower home with brother Momini. Apparently the couple went
- 29:51Speaker 2: to such a party together the night of the murder.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Momini claims he was under the impression Lee had drugged
- 30:00Speaker 2: and raped his sister. Prosecutors argue, hmmm, is that motive
- 30:06Speaker 2: for murder? Momini, according to prosecutors, decided to get revenge
- 30:12Speaker 2: for his sister. Text messages have become the focus in
- 30:18Speaker 2: front of a jury. The glam sister Kazar calls her
- 30:23Speaker 2: own brother effing psychotic hours later in damning text messages. Now,
- 30:33Speaker 2: prosecutors argue these text messages are a key part of
- 30:37Speaker 2: the evidence that will prove Momini is guilty. I've murdered one.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Now to ramp up the drama in the courtroom even more,
- 30:46Speaker 2: Momini's lawyers, as I mentioned, tried to have Bob Lee's
- 30:49Speaker 2: ex Christa barred from the courtroom after she called the
- 30:53Speaker 2: Glam's sister Kazar the horror of high tower. That's a
- 30:57Speaker 2: reference to the apartment in a luxury high rise where
- 31:01Speaker 2: she lived.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Whatever irrelevant.
- 31:03Speaker 2: What matters is who stabbed Bobbly multimillionaire cash app founder
- 31:10Speaker 2: did he was now? He had moved to Miami. His
- 31:15Speaker 2: two children, his two little girls were there. His ex
- 31:18Speaker 2: wife's there. They're raising the children together. His father very
- 31:22Speaker 2: very close relationship with the father who also moves to
- 31:26Speaker 2: Miami to be with Bob Lee. He comes back to
- 31:30Speaker 2: San Francisco for a TIC conference.
- 31:33Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, all of that is exactly right. He lived
- 31:36Speaker 6: in the Bay Area, a suburb Actulega, north of San
- 31:40Speaker 6: Francisco for some time, and then late last year, I
- 31:43Speaker 6: think it was the fall of twenty twenty two, Bobbly
- 31:46Speaker 6: moved his whole family to Miami. That's including his ex
- 31:49Speaker 6: wife and his father.
- 31:50Speaker 2: Ben Levitan, telecommunications expert, joining us out of Raleigh. Ben,
- 31:54Speaker 2: we learned that in this very ritzy area there are
- 31:59Speaker 2: cams everywhere, surveillance cameras, rings, all sorts of surveillance, and
- 32:07Speaker 2: that is how we get some of the video we
- 32:09Speaker 2: see of him staggering around for help as he's bleeding out.
- 32:15Speaker 2: But you say, texts and pinging and following the trail
- 32:20Speaker 2: of where he was that night went out on the
- 32:22Speaker 2: town at the end of the day after the conference
- 32:25Speaker 2: let out, can give us so much more information. Now,
- 32:31Speaker 2: I want to ask you about surveillance video cams. Do
- 32:34Speaker 2: they still tape over themselves like at the end of
- 32:36Speaker 2: seventy two hours like they did in the Chandra Levy case.
- 32:39Speaker 15: It depends on how much you're spending on this technology.
- 32:43Speaker 9: A lot of them do overright.
- 32:44Speaker 15: But memory is so cheap nowadays, and if you're just
- 32:48Speaker 15: recording low resolution like what we saw in the Daily
- 32:52Speaker 15: Mail video, that's very low resolution. You could keep that
- 32:55Speaker 15: for years. But you know what's critical, the twenty four
- 32:59Speaker 15: hours prime and everybody's going to have. But there's so
- 33:03Speaker 15: much more than video. Every time you walk around with
- 33:05Speaker 15: your phone, you're leaving digital footprints all over the place.
- 33:10Speaker 15: So certainly in that office lobby, they know everybody who
- 33:14Speaker 15: came near that building. So those would be perpetrators, those
- 33:19Speaker 15: would be suspects, and those would be with potential witnesses.
- 33:23Speaker 15: Digital evidence gives us three things. Who was at this,
- 33:27Speaker 15: who is at the scene, and those are potential suspects. Yes,
- 33:33Speaker 15: those are potential witnesses, and that's the most important thing.
- 33:36Speaker 15: People may have walked by and didn't even know what
- 33:40Speaker 15: was going on. Someone may have seen someone running away
- 33:44Speaker 15: from Bob Lee and thought nothing of it, and when
- 33:49Speaker 15: the police pull up their footprint, they say yes.
- 33:52Speaker 2: And you know what, bean Leamontaine, we really see this
- 33:54Speaker 2: kind of evidence come to the forefront and the Idaho
- 33:57Speaker 2: student slaying because the prime Brian Coburger's phone shows him
- 34:03Speaker 2: in the area repeatedly and then the night of the murders,
- 34:07Speaker 2: he conveniently turns off or puts into airplane motors phone
- 34:11Speaker 2: and then it picks up right after the murders around
- 34:13Speaker 2: four thirty AM, leaving the crime scene, and you can
- 34:17Speaker 2: follow his trail. So Belevitan telecommunications expert is right now
- 34:23Speaker 2: looking at the.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Victim, Bob Lee's texts and messages.
- 34:27Speaker 2: A name emerges and boy does it take a listen
- 34:30Speaker 2: hour cut EIGHTCBS.
- 34:32Speaker 17: These haunting security camera images posted by London's Daily Mail
- 34:36Speaker 17: show the final moments of bob Le's life, and tonight
- 34:39Speaker 17: police say that brutal stabbing was not a random attack.
- 34:43Speaker 5: We can confirm that mister Lee and miss Simomenti knew
- 34:46Speaker 5: each other.
- 34:47Speaker 17: San Francisco's police chief says thirty eight year old Nima Momeni,
- 34:50Speaker 17: who owns a tech company, was arrested this morning in
- 34:53Speaker 17: the suburb of Emeryville and booked on one charge of murder.
- 34:57Speaker 17: Officers confronted him with bullhorns. Law enforcement did not give
- 35:05Speaker 17: details or a motive for the killing.
- 35:08Speaker 2: Hold on Nima Momeni, a tech company owner, Well, that's.
- 35:17Speaker 1: A bunch of bes, you know, a bunch of bs.
- 35:19Speaker 1: Jared Fiorentino homicide prosecutor.
- 35:21Speaker 2: That's a technical legal term, but there's really no other
- 35:23Speaker 2: way to put it. I mean, I don't think they
- 35:25Speaker 2: have a Latin phrase for that. Lawyers can throw around
- 35:27Speaker 2: in the courtroom. But Jen Smith, he's not a successful
- 35:32Speaker 2: tech owner. Didn't he lie about graduating from Berkeley? I'm
- 35:36Speaker 2: talking about Momiani, He sure did.
- 35:39Speaker 6: He would love the world to think, or at one stage,
- 35:42Speaker 6: he would have loved the world to think that he
- 35:44Speaker 6: was this high flying tech executive. We're not talking about
- 35:47Speaker 6: the kind of success that Bobbly enjoyed though. That's not
- 35:50Speaker 6: had a small shop.
- 35:51Speaker 1: He worked out of his apartment.
- 35:53Speaker 6: He worked out of his apartment. That's correct. He has
- 35:55Speaker 6: an IT domain name. I would say at best, that's
- 35:59Speaker 6: about this far that goes at the moment. That's what
- 36:02Speaker 6: we know. Anyway, he had lied about his college education.
- 36:07Speaker 10: He said he went to Berkeley.
- 36:08Speaker 6: Berkeley says he did not. And really the rest of
- 36:12Speaker 6: his life is somewhat of a mystery. But like you say,
- 36:16Speaker 6: he was working out of his apartment in Emeryville, which
- 36:19Speaker 6: is but five miles from where the attack took place.
- 36:22Speaker 2: And there's nothing wrong with working out of your apartment.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Or home.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Many people do it, especially since COVID. But to lie
- 36:31Speaker 2: about it? Doctor John Delatory joining US psychologists and mediator
- 36:37Speaker 2: specializing in forensic psychology.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Why do people have to lie about it? Who cares?
- 36:42Speaker 2: If you work out of your place you're loft, Nobody cares?
- 36:45Speaker 2: But why lie about it? Nobody cares where you went
- 36:49Speaker 2: to college? Great, they may care for a minute when
- 36:52Speaker 2: you're trying to get your first job, but then after that,
- 36:55Speaker 2: why lie about it?
- 36:56Speaker 1: Doctor Delatory?
- 36:58Speaker 8: Yeah, because you have a high impression manager. Just because
- 37:01Speaker 8: the world doesn't look at you as being somewhat important,
- 37:04Speaker 8: that doesn't mean that you don't view the world as.
- 37:06Speaker 9: Needing you to be important.
- 37:08Speaker 8: So of course you're gonna lie, and of course you're
- 37:10Speaker 8: gonna embellish if you believe that the world is going
- 37:13Speaker 8: to judge you in ways you don't want to be judged.
- 37:16Speaker 2: You know, I came off of red dirt road, drinking
- 37:18Speaker 2: well water. I don't know how somebody like me managed
- 37:21Speaker 2: to worm my way into Valdosta College and then Mercy
- 37:26Speaker 2: University and then NYU. It's a miracle. I've always been
- 37:30Speaker 2: amazed at people that lie about everything to do with
- 37:34Speaker 2: their background. But there's more at play here. Take a
- 37:38Speaker 2: listen now our cut seven. This is Brooke Jenkins, and
- 37:42Speaker 2: remember the da has endeared a real hailstorm because of
- 37:47Speaker 2: the crime in this area. This wants wonderful, beautiful area.
- 37:51Speaker 2: It's now home. It's drenched in crime. And I don't
- 37:56Speaker 2: know why the mayor is bragging and crowing. Hey, this
- 38:00Speaker 2: wasn't a homeless person that committed the crime, Lady. They
- 38:03Speaker 2: committed a crime on Main Street and nobody would help
- 38:08Speaker 2: this guy. It's crime ridden. Listen to this.
- 38:12Speaker 16: While in some cases we do immediately have a suspect
- 38:16Speaker 16: that was not the situation.
- 38:18Speaker 1: Here, as a result of their hard work.
- 38:21Speaker 16: Mister Lee's killer has been identified, arrested, and now will
- 38:25Speaker 16: be brought to justice. I am here today to formally
- 38:28Speaker 16: announce the charges against mister Nima Momeni for the murder
- 38:33Speaker 16: of Bob Lee. The specific charges that we are filing
- 38:36Speaker 16: today include murder in violation of Penal Code Section one
- 38:40Speaker 16: eighty seven, as well as a special allegation also known
- 38:44Speaker 16: as an enhancement, alleging that this murder was committed with
- 38:48Speaker 16: a knife.
- 38:49Speaker 2: I wonder why it's an enhancement if anybody on the
- 38:51Speaker 2: panel knows, Unless they're trying to curb knife violence. And
- 38:56Speaker 2: speaking of knives, Jen Smith, Teeth investigative reporter, dailymail dot Com,
- 39:01Speaker 2: this guy Momenti has a history with knives. Explain that
- 39:07Speaker 2: little matter regarding a switch blade.
- 39:10Speaker 6: Yeah, he sure does. We know know that. In two
- 39:12Speaker 6: thousand and eleven, Nima Momenti was charged with attacking a
- 39:16Speaker 6: woman with a switch blade. And we see this came
- 39:19Speaker 6: to light after his arrest in the ball Blee case.
- 39:22Speaker 6: I know, speaking of the knife in this case, fancy,
- 39:24Speaker 6: we're not talking about a switch blade. We're talking about
- 39:27Speaker 6: kitchen knife, a large one. That is what police day
- 39:30Speaker 6: he used to attack ball Bleade.
- 39:33Speaker 1: Kitchen knife.
- 39:33Speaker 2: But he before that had a history of trying to
- 39:36Speaker 2: sell an illegal switchblade.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Is that correct?
- 39:39Speaker 6: Yeah, that's absolutely right. This guy has a long history
- 39:42Speaker 6: with violence, clearly specifically associated with Knight.
- 39:46Speaker 2: Well, the evidence is largely electronic, and being Levitan is
- 39:52Speaker 2: right about that. And I know, Jarrett Farantino, you love
- 39:55Speaker 2: electronic evidence, digital evidence, because it doesn't lie.
- 39:59Speaker 1: An I witness may have had bad.
- 40:02Speaker 2: Vision and left the glasses at home, not so a
- 40:04Speaker 2: digital information. Take listen now we're cutting nine from our
- 40:07Speaker 2: friends at NBC.
- 40:08Speaker 3: The moments before, during, and after the murder of Bob
- 40:11Speaker 3: Lee were recorded on surveillance cameras and help detectives track
- 40:15Speaker 3: down their suspect. According to court documents, the tech Titans
- 40:20Speaker 3: relationship with this woman, Becauzar Momenti may have been the
- 40:24Speaker 3: reason her brother Nima Momeni killed the forty three year old.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Is mister Lee's relationship with the suspect's sister a major
- 40:32Speaker 3: part of this case.
- 40:33Speaker 16: His relationship with the suspects sister is certainly the connection
- 40:37Speaker 16: it appears between the two and so that is something
- 40:40Speaker 16: that's very important to this investigation.
- 40:42Speaker 2: In a Nutsheale Gentsmith A forty run out of time,
- 40:45Speaker 2: Why would Mamini kill Bob Lee over Mamini's sister. She's
- 40:50Speaker 2: married to a very successful, well known plastic surgeon in
- 40:54Speaker 2: that area.
- 40:55Speaker 6: Well, it's all now emerging. The friends who are close
- 40:59Speaker 6: to baub Lee, Kauzarmameny, the glamorous sister, they believed that
- 41:03Speaker 6: the pair were having a romantic relationship. And it gets
- 41:06Speaker 6: darker than that. There is a suggestion that Kauzarmahmeni was
- 41:10Speaker 6: using drugs. She had a drug problem that she was hiding.
- 41:13Speaker 1: You mean the sister the sister Cauzarmuhmeny.
- 41:16Speaker 6: Yes, the sister. There is a suggestion that she had
- 41:19Speaker 6: a drug problem, she was hiding from her husband, and
- 41:22Speaker 6: that she was perhaps artying with Lee on the day
- 41:27Speaker 6: before the murder. Her brother, Nina, older than her, didn't
- 41:32Speaker 6: like obviously that she was engaging in this type of behavior. He,
- 41:37Speaker 6: we know, questioned Bob Lee about it hours before the stabbing.
- 41:41Speaker 6: He wanted to know the extent of their relationship, and
- 41:44Speaker 6: he wanted to know from Lee whether or not his
- 41:46Speaker 6: sister had been getting into anything that wasn't exactly proper,
- 41:51Speaker 6: should we say. Bob ly assures Nima Mumeni that his
- 41:55Speaker 6: sister Kazar, this woman that he is apparently having an
- 41:58Speaker 6: affair with, was not using drugs, that everything was trying.
- 42:02Speaker 6: That speaks to the text message that was discovered on
- 42:06Speaker 6: Bobby's phone from the sister. What happens after that, Nanci,
- 42:10Speaker 6: We're not exactly sure, but clearly it set Nima Momenti's
- 42:14Speaker 6: brother into a very violent rage.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Jarrett Fiorentino, homicide Prosecutor of Pennsylvania Number one. The state
- 42:22Speaker 2: never ever has to prove the motive under the law.
- 42:26Speaker 2: It's a practical matter. The jury wants to hear what
- 42:30Speaker 2: the motive would be. And I'm very curious about this
- 42:34Speaker 2: whole the way this whole thing went down, because Jarrett Ferentino,
- 42:37Speaker 2: it doesn't wash with me that these two had been
- 42:40Speaker 2: going to restaurants and bars or whatever since the tech
- 42:43Speaker 2: conference got out that day, you know, hitting the town
- 42:47Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, Momoni gets mad and
- 42:50Speaker 2: stabs him dead.
- 42:51Speaker 1: That doesn't quite ring true to me.
- 42:54Speaker 7: Well, if you what's shaping up here is that it's
- 42:59Speaker 7: looking like he was playing the role of the protective
- 43:02Speaker 7: big brother. The speculation is that Lee may have been
- 43:06Speaker 7: involved in procuring some kind of narcotics for Tina is
- 43:12Speaker 7: her nickname, Nima's sister, and that may be what triggered him.
- 43:18Speaker 7: When he discovered that Lee had been involved in procuring
- 43:22Speaker 7: narcotics for Tina and he's playing the big brother. They
- 43:27Speaker 7: get into an argument, they being Nima and Bob, and
- 43:31Speaker 7: the stabbing ensues. But like you said, the fact that
- 43:35Speaker 7: they're out on the town having dinner, traveling in the
- 43:38Speaker 7: same social circles over the course of that evening doesn't
- 43:41Speaker 7: necessarily jive with it exploding into a violent conflict.
- 43:45Speaker 1: You know, the old phrase Jerif Farantina. Sticks and stones
- 43:49Speaker 1: can break my bones, but words can never hurt me.
- 43:52Speaker 2: The reality is, I don't care what they argued about.
- 43:54Speaker 2: I don't care what Mamini thought. He stabbed this guy,
- 43:58Speaker 2: an unarmed victim, dead, and left him to stagger around
- 44:04Speaker 2: this exclusive area to die, begging.
- 44:08Speaker 1: For help from a car and passers by. Nobody would
- 44:11Speaker 1: help him.
- 44:11Speaker 2: He knew he was dying, he was spitting up blood.
- 44:13Speaker 2: I don't care what they talked about. This is murder,
- 44:19Speaker 2: and it's murder one. What else do we know about
- 44:22Speaker 2: the so called Glam's sister, now at the middle of
- 44:24Speaker 2: a murder trial. Well, apparently she's been married to a
- 44:28Speaker 2: high profile plastic surgeon, very prominent who specializes in those jobs. Okay,
- 44:35Speaker 2: his name all across magazines for years, always talking glowingly
- 44:40Speaker 2: about his marriage and his wife. I don't know if
- 44:44Speaker 2: he knew she allegedly was attending drug and sex parties
- 44:48Speaker 2: that has not been proven. Those are just allegations, possibly
- 44:52Speaker 2: even a way to smear the woman. I don't know,
- 44:55Speaker 2: But what I do know is Bob Lee was stabbed dead.
- 45:00Speaker 1: Eight as justice unfals. Goodbye friend,
