Jury deliberations in the San Francisco murder trial of Nima Momeni, the man accused of fatally stabbing Cash App co-founder Bob Lee, are scheduled to resume Monday.
The jurors concluded its sixth day of deliberations on Thursday with no verdict. The trial has past the 6-week milestone, which made Thursday the last day of hardship for the jurors -- the projected end of the proceedings.
The lead defense attorney Saam Zangeneh and two prosecutors were called into the courtroom on Thursday morning. Zangeneh said he was summoned for a question from the jury. No other information was provided.
Momeni is accused of fatally stabbing Lee on April 4, 2023, in a secluded area of San Francisco. He is facing a first-degree murder charge.
Momeni says he acted in self-defense.
The jurors must decide if he is guilty of the first-degree murder charge. If they unanimously decide he is not guilty of that charge, they must then consider lower charges of second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter.
