The prosecution argued that Momeni should continue to be detained because the evidence suggests he intentionally killed Lee. The defense discredited the DNA findings and said Momeni’s DNA was on the knife because he threw it over to make sure no one had access to it. The judge ruled to keep Momeni in jail due to the safety risk to the community.

Defense attorney Paula Canny apologized for her insensitive remarks about the drug use of slain tech executive Bob Lee, whom her client Nima Momeni is accused of murdering.

The remarks drew criticism from the district attorney, who said they denigrated the victim's reputation. Canny has been highlighting drug use in the case without explaining how it relates to her client's guilt or innocence.
