6:12 pm
be friendly with lee prior to the murder, that he brought the knife from his sister's apartment, took lee to an isolated spot, and quickly fled afterwards. the motive, prosecutors say, was that lee introduced nima momeni sister, huzzah to jeremy boivin, a drug dealer who she testified during this trial drugged and sexually assaulted her. prosecutors say momeni carefully curated his self-defense story around the evidence, and that his defense team paid experts to testify, who admitted on the stand that they workshopped possible scenarios of what could have happened to match bob lee's three stab wounds. two to his chest, including one to his heart and one to his hip. they also emphasized that momeni concealed evidence by throwing the knife over the caltrans fence and bringing his vehicle to his mom's house after lee's murder. also that the jacket he was wearing that night has never been located. lee's brother spoke to reporters about the prosecution's closing arguments. >> i think they did a great job of summing up this case and really putting it in perspective
