Judge Eric Fleming denies change of venue in Nima Momeni's murder trial of Cash App founder Bob Lee.

Judge Eric Fleming denied a defense request for a change of venue in the murder trial of Nima Momeni, accused of killing Cash App founder Bob Lee. Despite 86% of San Francisco residents being aware of the case, the judge ruled that the trial's focus is on the murder, not Lee's prominence, and that public memory will fade with time. The tentative trial date is set for May 20, pending cellphone data delivery.
