San Francisco Man Convicted of Murdering CashApp Founder Bob Lee Still Awaits Sentence After One Year
The case against Nima Momeni, who was found guilty of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of Bob Lee, has dragged on for months after his conviction last December. The verdict marked the culmination of a grueling seven-week trial and seven days of deliberations.
As the case stalls due to missing court transcripts, Momeni's new attorney, Daniel Shriro, plans to file a motion for a new trial, citing the lack of complete transcripts as the primary reason. However, this has led to further delays in sentencing.
The delay is attributed to the unavailability of one of the court reporters involved in the case, who is currently on leave and unable to provide the requested transcripts. The other court reporter, it appears, has yet to produce any transcripts at all.
"This is a cruel waiting game for everyone involved," said Krista Lee, Bob Lee's former wife, expressing her family's frustration with the prolonged delay. "A little bit of peace would be very helpful in our healing process."
The District Attorney, Brooke Jenkins, agrees that justice needs to be served quickly. "It's not fair to Nima Momeni or his family to have this stall," she said.
In a surprising move, Scout Lee, Bob Lee's daughter, has taken it upon herself to create a non-profit organization called Beacons of Bereavement, aimed at providing mental health support and therapy for victims and their families. The acronym BOB is meant to serve as a reminder of her father's tragic passing.
With the case set to continue on January 23rd, the Lee family remains hopeful that a resolution will be reached before April 4th, marking the third anniversary of Bob Lee's death.

. I mean, it's been over a year since Nima Momeni was found guilty and yet he still hasn't gotten his sentence? It's like the justice system is just stuck in limbo. And to make matters worse, the court transcripts are missing which is causing even more delays. 
Krista Lee's words really got me - it's not fair to Nima Momeni or his family that they're having to go through this prolonged wait for some closure. I hope Scout Lee's new non-profit thing helps bring some support and healing to the family, though 
.
and poor bob lee's family has to deal with all this drama 
. i feel for scout lee creating her non-profit org, that's super cool 
... but at the same time, it's just so sad that she has to be doing all this because of what happened to her dad 
. anyway, fingers crossed they get some answers on january 23rd 
. and then there's the non-profit org created by Bob Lee's daughter... scout lee is actually doing something positive out of a really dark situation. that takes a lot of courage and heart 
.
It's just frustrating, you know? The tech is moving at lightning speed but our justice system can't even get its act together 
And now there's this whole new drama with the daughter starting a non-profit? 
I guess it's good that she's taking initiative and trying to help others, but shouldn't we be focusing on getting Nima Momeni to justice first? 
The Lee family has been through so much already... can't we just give them some peace? 
I'm not surprised Scout is taking matters into her own hands by creating that non-profit org, though - she's a strong one 
... but it's sad that it had to come to this 
at least they're moving forward with the sentencing on Jan 23rd, hopefully justice will be served soon 
... I mean, I get it, the court transcripts are missing and all that, but come on! It feels like he's getting special treatment. And poor Bob Lee's family has to deal with this slow process too? 
missing court transcripts are a major issue but can't we just get some answers already? 
... hopefully, they can find a way to get this whole thing wrapped up soon and bring some closure to the family. but at the same time, nima momeni still has no idea when he'll be sentenced 
that's actually doing something positive here. can we just move forward already?
They knew what they were doing when they went to trial, so why can't they get the transcripts now? 
It's not fair to Nima Momeni or his family. They deserve some closure and a sentence already 
. Let's hope justice gets served soon 
The average prison sentence for murder is around 18 years in the US. So, if the Lee family's hoping for a resolution before April, that's like saying Nima Momeni could've already served half his expected prison time... 
The lack of available court transcripts has led to over 200 delays in sentencing so far... 
A quick resolution would cost the justice system around $10,000 - $20,000 per month in lost court time and resources... 
i feel so bad for bob lees fam 
creating her own non-profit to help others it's amazing 
can't they just give him the sentence already?! 
fingers crossed for january 23rd tho 
. And to make matters worse, the lack of court transcripts is causing even more delays 
.
. I feel bad for Bob Lee's family, who are already dealing with grief and loss 
. But what about justice? When will they finally get the answers they deserve? 
. I mean, you'd think after being found guilty, it'd be a no-brainer to get a sentence already... but nope! 
. Maybe it'll make all the difference for people who've lost loved ones to violence or loss. Fingers crossed we get some resolution soon... or at least before April!
