Convicted killer of Bob Lee sentenced to 16 years to life in prison

Yeah, we were in the courtroom as the judge handed out that sentence of 16 years to life with credit for time served. Also in that courtroom, families of both men, both Nima Momeni and Bob Lee's family inside that courtroom for the dramatic day here. Both families are left now to pick up the pieces after what they both described as a tragedy. And we did catch up with Bob Lee's brother right outside the courtroom immediately following the sentencing. I don't think he took accountability for this at all, right? He's been adjudicated as a murderer. This was murder too. He's obviously done this, and he's still trying to escape the consequences or escape liability or escape, I don't know, right? But he needs to admit to himself that he perpetrated this crime and that he is a murderer and he will forever be a murderer of Bob Lee. Bob Lee's daughter also addressed the court and Nima Momeni directly, telling him that at the time of the killing, she was just 14 years old. Now she is 18. She told Momeni just how much he took from her and her family. At one point saying Momeni had taken away not just her father, but her best friend and her future, a father who will never see her graduate or be there when she falls in love. Momeni appeared to nod his head as she read her statement. Momeni himself also addressed the court. He said that he acknowledged the pain and loss, but stopped short of saying he was fully responsible, at one point saying, quote, I know you have suffered, and for any part I had in that, I am sorry. Momeni's mother also addressed the court, saying the killing had devastated two families. We spoke with her outside the courtroom as well. I stand behind him as my son. With every cell, every last cell in my life, in my body, both families here have experienced an unimaginable tragedy, and unfortunately, there's no way that we can go back and rewrite the past, but I pray for Bob and his children, just as I do my own. Privileged conversation. Now, this morning before the judge handed down her sentence, Momeni's attorney was arguing for a retrial, saying that Momeni's previous attorneys didn't do enough to protect him and allowed video to be introduced into evidence that should never, he said, have been introduced into evidence. His attorney saying there is more than enough reason for an appeal. Guys, at this point, we have heard that there is likely going to be an appeal in this case. But at this point, we don't know the timeline. So after all this time and this Long and tragic story. We might not be at that final chapter yet, although Nima Momeni has been sentenced now to 16 years to life in prison. We could be looking at the next chapter with an appeal somewhere down the road. Certainly you can see the impact it's had on the families there. And as this story appears to continue. All right. Thank you, Christian.
