The worst attorney ever to defend her client with the worst evidence 😅

[@harrisonmc123]

"An accident with three stab wounds," the lawyer "yes"

Actually she said "absolutely". With her glass bottle bottom eyeglasses she can't be wrong.

[@SM-SaMo]

I'm sure she's getting paid big bucks so will say anything.

@@ammedia9870 that statement could be true but it was a kitchen knife. They’ve plenty of $$ to buy a normal knife for protection if desired. He grabbed a kitchen knife, left the home, took him to a secluded spot & stabbed him 3 times while Bob was unarmed. That’s not self defense lol

[@Jenn_80]

That doesn't change the fact that the crime is bad in SF though 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@SM-SaMo]

SF is such a beautiful city but the people IMO have an extremely ugly ❤. Certain peeps latch onto the most vile accusations against the vulnerable & weak e.g. like the homeless population bc they know they are unable to advocate for themselves they are easy targets. I have lived in a few cities in my lifetime & have never encountered so many sheep. The motto 'If you want to get along, go along' mentality sums it up. It's very sad that they teach their children how to hate & lying is okay & becoming a bully is a good quality. Never seen anything like it before. So glad I was able to raise my kids in a home w/yard.

[@Jenn_80]

@S M I lived in Silicon Valley for several years around 2005 to 2009... i went to SF frequently and what I noticed about the homeless in SF was how aggressive they were. For example i dont like to treat homeless people like they are invisible, so i would walk by and say hello.... because of the mental illness there many would scream at me. One time i gave one a $5 bill and another homeless person attacked him for it.... So because of all that experience i got with homeless there, it probably made me turn into someone who appears to have no heart... i stopped looking at homeless or speaking or giving money when i passed them. As a single woman that's only 5ft tall and small framed and i look 15 years younger than my actual age... it was safer for me to just keep moving. After the Bay Area, I moved to Seattle. And while there were a lot of homeless there ... they were different.... not aggressive at all. Now I live close to New Orleans and I am there frequently.... Homeless and a LOT of CRIME in NOLA . . But i feel safe there and the homeless are not aggressive in NOLA like they were in SF either. I blame Reagan for the mentally ill homeless issues in California. www.salon.com/2013/09/29/ronald_reagans_shameful_legacy_violence_the_homeless_mental_illness

San Francisco’s streets are dirtier, filthier and more abhorrent than most cities in the developing or underdeveloped world.

[@user-pd9fe1vx3i]

The pause when the lawyer was being questioned….YIKES

[@aracelysantos9170]

After the fatal stabbing of Bob Lee, San Francisco was labeled a "lawless" place to live. I read an article that discussed the high levels of crime in San Francisco. It mentioned the city has been battling a drug epidemic and a homelessness crisis in recent years. Meanwhile the person who killed Bob Lee was someone he knew. 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

[@mhartan]

Why would a defense lawyer be making equivocal statements about the theory of defense? Ugh.

[@iamthenews5624]

Translation: Nima is a Narcissist; Nima’s relationship to Kazar was that of sister/wife; Bob was doing drugs/sex with Kazar (Nina’s sister/wife); Nima went into a self-entitled Narc rage and killed him….It is what it is….
