Nima Momeni sentenced to 16 years to life for murder of Cash App founder Bob Lee

Nima Momeni has been sentenced to 16 years to life in prison for the April 2023 fatal stabbing of Cash App founder Bob Lee in San Francisco.

A judge denied Momeni's request for a new trial, and his lawyers say they will appeal.
