Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is taking some time to reflect after Chrystia Freeland's bombshell resignation, the natural resources minister said on Tuesday. "The prime minister, as I understand it, a number of caucus colleagues have said that the prime minister has said that he will reflect on both the decision that minister Freeland made, but also what he's heard from members of his own caucus," Jonathan Wilkinson said. "I think we all need to give him a little time to reflect, and I respect that fact that he's going to take some time to reflect." Freeland quit as finance minister on Monday morning just hours before she was set to present the government's fall economic statement. That kicked off a day of turmoil on Parliament Hill that began with a morning cabinet meeting and wrapped with an evening meeting of the Liberal caucus, where some members called for Trudeau to step aside as party leader. That includes New Brunswick MP Wayne Long, one of 23 caucus members who signed a letter back in October calling for Trudeau to quit. "We certainly have more MPs than last time. So, if I had to guess how many more right now, I'd say we're probably at 40 to 50 right now," Long said. "But there's a lot more than that. I mean, this is so different than times before." The attempt to oust Trudeau earlier in the fall took up a great deal of oxygen on Parliament Hill, but ultimately failed to garner support from inside the cabinet. This time, Long said, at least five cabinet ministers believe it's time for a change at the top. "I certainly am one to say to my colleagues, to ministers in particular: 'Let's come out of the shadows,'" Long said. "Let's openly, once and for all, state how we feel and let's move forward with what we know has to happen." After the failed coup in October, Liberal MPs told reporters they believed Trudeau was taking time to reflect. But the very next day, he publicly stated his intention to stay on as leader at a press conference. The Liberals have faced three non-confidence votes in the House of Commons this fall and have struggled to advance legislation because of a filibuster on a Conservative privilege motion related to misspending at a now-defunct green technology fund. On Tuesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre once again called on NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh to topple the government, criticizing him for voting against the latest non-confidence motion last week. Poilievre said Canada needs a new prime minister because U.S. president-elect Donald Trump can smell weakness from a mile away and the Trudeau government is weak. Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet also said a new Parliament is needed "as soon as possible," and he wants to see an election called in January. Blanchet said Trudeau has lost the political, moral and ethical authority to govern. He said the election should happen as soon as possible in the new year because Canadians do not want a campaign over the holiday season. On Monday, Singh called for Trudeau to step down but did not make a firm comment on whether the NDP would declare non-confidence in the Liberal government. Instead, Singh said "all options are on the table." The NDP, which ended a formal supply-and-confidence agreement to support the Liberals in September, has since voted with the government on all three non-confidence motions. Singh has repeatedly said a Poilievre-led Conservative government would cut things New Democrats have fought for like dental care, pharmacare and other social programs. The Tories are also calling on the House of Commons trade committee to study the tariff threat between the week of Jan. 6 and Jan. 20, the date of Trump's inauguration. The House of Commons is expected to rise for the holiday break on Tuesday and return on January 27. In her resignation letter, Freeland said she's been at odds with Trudeau in the last few weeks over the government's fiscal priorities. She said the government should do away with costly "political gimmicks" and instead set money aside to deal with a potential tariff war with the U.S. Dominic LeBlanc was sworn in as the new finance minister Monday, minutes after the government's fall economic statement was released. The economic update shows the deficit has grown to nearly $62 billion, far beyond the $40-billion target Freeland set earlier this year. It includes $1.3 billion in new spending on measures to beef up the border in response to Trump's threat to impose 25 per cent tariff threats on Canadian goods. LeBlanc, who is also in charge of intergovernmental affairs and democratic institutions, says his main priority as finance minister will be to address affordability issues. He will also continue to oversee the public safety file, implementing new border measures, until Trudeau holds a broader cabinet shuffle. That's expected to happen soon in order to replace ministers who have announced they won't seek re-election.Baker Mayfield mocks Tommy DeVito’s celebration as the Bucs embarrass the Giants 30-7

Patrick Fishburn leads at Sea Island as Joel Dahmen keeps alive hopes of keeping his job49ers running back Christian McCaffrey headed to IR with an injured right kneeLANDOVER, Md. — Austin Seibert choked back tears taking responsibility for missing the extra point that would have tied the score in the final minute. Jeremy Reaves choked back tears blaming himself for a missed assignment that led to a kickoff return touchdown. And John Bates choked back tears talking about moving forward from his costly fumble. All of those late mistakes contributed to the Washington Commanders' third consecutive loss , 34-26 to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in a game that was wholly unremarkable until fourth-quarter chaos. The teams combined to score 31 points in the final four minutes, the most in an NFL game in more than a decade, and the Commanders (7-5) came out on the wrong end of it in a defeat that further endangers their playoff chances. “Any time you lose a game or you lose a game in that type of fashion, it’s very difficult and it’s tough, but it never comes down to one play,” rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels said. “There’s plays throughout the game where little things add up to big things.” There were a lot of little things. After Bates fumbled, the Cowboys (4-7) took an 11-point lead and the Commanders made a 2-point conversion to cut the deficit to three, Dallas' KaVonte Turpin returned the ensuing kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown. After Seibert made a 51-yard field goal, Daniels connected with Terry McLaurin on an 86-yard TD that made it 27-26 with 21 seconds left. Coach Dan Quinn said no thought was given to going for 2 in that situation. Seibert, who missed the past two games with a right hip injury, was wide left on the point-after attempt. “I just wasn’t striking it well,” said Seibert, who added he felt fine and did not blame a low snap for his miss. "It didn’t make a difference at all. It was on me.” Juanyeh Thomas returned the ensuing onside kick 43 yards for a touchdown to put Dallas up eight with 14 seconds left. “I didn’t make the play when it was there to make, and it cost us,” said Reaves, one of the league's top special teams players and the All-Pro pick for that two seasons ago. "No excuse, man. I’ve made that play 100 times, and I didn’t make it today and it cost us the game. It’s unacceptable. It’s solely on me. It’s going to sting for a while. It’s going to hurt.” The 31 combined points are the second most in a game since at least 2000, behind only Minnesota and Baltimore's 36 in their game Dec. 8, 2013. Cowboys-Commanders was the first game in the Super Bowl era to have two missed extra points, two kickoff return touchdowns and a blocked punt. “We got down to the end there and it was a game-situational extravaganza,” Dallas coach Mike McCarthy said. “It was like Yahtzee. Everything was in there." While Washington's skid continued, the Cowboys ended their losing streak at five thanks to strong play from quarterback Cooper Rush, a defense that forced two turnovers and, of course, special teams success. Rush was 24 of 32 for 247 yards and TD passes to Jalen Tolbert and Luke Schoonmaker. “Lot of games left,” Rush said. “We’re sitting at 4-7. This is why you play them.” The Commanders have some soul-searching to do after losing as a 10 1/2-point favorite in the meeting of NFC East rivals and doing so in a way that left players so emotional. “The crazy games, I know they feel a little bit better whenever you win them,” punter and holder Tress Way said. “But that’s a tough pill to swallow.” Injuries Cowboys: LG Tyler Smith was inactive with ankle and knee injuries. ... RG Zack Martin (ankle), CB Trevon Diggs (groin/knee) and TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) were ruled out prior to game day and did not travel for the game. Commanders: RB Austin Ekeler was concussed on a kickoff return in the final seconds and taken to a hospital for further evaluation. ... RB Brian Robinson Jr. left with an ankle injury in the first half, returned and then left again. ... RT Andrew Wylie was concussed in the third quarter and did not return. ... C Tyler Biadasz was evaluated for a concussion in the fourth. ... CB Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) missed a third consecutive game since being acquired at the trade deadline from New Orleans.
NRMA Insurance is helping to unite Australians by making this season ‘The Summer of Community Cricket’ in its new campaign with Accenture Song. Building on the recent launch of its “A Help Company” positioning and partnership with Cricket Australia, the campaign elevates its promise of helping Australians in more ways through valuable experiences. Throughout the Test Series, NRMA Insurance will celebrate community cricket and volunteers who help make the game happen by organising events at clubs around the country and giving away grants to local cricket clubs. This will be underpinned by Accenture Song’s fully integrated campaign, which will run on TV, digital, out of home and across social. Directed by Finch’s Alex Roberts, the film centres on a community cricket match and a local hero batter who receives support from his community. “At NRMA Insurance, we believe connected communities are more resilient,” IAG chief customer and marketing officer Michelle Klein said. “Local cricket is great for the community, and it’s been helping Aussies get to know their neighbours and pitch in together for many generations. “This summer NRMA Insurance is demonstrating its promise of help within the cultural context of sport, by fostering the kind of local connections that we know makes communities stronger.” Barbara Humphries , Accenture Song executive creative director, added: “We wanted to celebrate the community spirit that keeps these local games going, benefiting whole communities, beyond those holding a bat or ball. It’s a national partnership that turns up in a very local way, in the spirit of A Help Company.” In keeping with the launch of “A Help Company”, the campaign is once again accompanied by a reworked version of The Beatles’ famous song, ‘Help!’.

Shaq Barrett goes unclaimed on waivers, can now sign and play with any teamJimmy Carter, the 39th US president, passed away peacefully at his home in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by family. Known as the longest-lived US president at 100, Carter was celebrated for his humanitarian efforts and contributions to global peace and civil rights. His leadership significantly strengthened US-India relations, particularly through his visit to India in 1978, a pivotal moment after strained relations during the Nixon administration. Carter's address to the Indian parliament championed democracy and free elections, establishing a framework for increased cooperation. President Carter's legacy persists in the growing US-India partnership, marked by collaboration in fields such as trade, technology, and energy. His shared democratic values laid the foundation for an enduring relationship between the two countries, influencing current international diplomacy. (With inputs from agencies.)
Coliseum Acquisition Corp. Reminds Shareholders to Vote in Connection with Business Combination and ExtensionLanding Missy Franklin for an interview wasn’t just about Ava Keenan bringing in a big name for her podcast. Talking to the five-time Olympic gold medalist served another purpose for the Ski and Snowboard Club Vail 14-year-old mogul skier: a chance to ask for advice. “Everything she was doing at such a young age was amazing and so I thought that I could take some of the things she was telling me and use them in my own career,” Keenan said. “I’ve done that already.” Like Franklin, Keenan — who was featured in the Warren Miller film, “Daymaker” and named “Most Promising” in the Sportswomen of Colorado 2022 award lineup — has been pushing the envelope at a young age. She won the Rocky Mountain Freestyle (RMF) rookie of the year award in 2021 after becoming one of only three 11-year-olds to win an RMF competition. Two years later, she captured the F13 national title and the F15 duals crown. Last year, she won the F15 title — as a 13-year-old. In her last two seasons, Keenan has qualified for U.S. Freestyle Selections — an event where skiers compete for starts at American-based World Cups and NorAm events — but has been too young to participate. Until now. “I’ve been wanting to do this for years,” Keenan said before adding that she used get upset by the age restriction. “But now that I’m here, I’m kind of glad that they did because I wouldn’t have been as ready the past two years or as happy with the results I would have got.” U.S. Freestyle Selections is Dec. 13-15 at Winter Park Resort and features moguls and dual moguls events. Last year, SSCV’s Nash Lucas swept the top step of the podium in both. Keenan’s goal is to advance to the super finals, which would give her a good chance to qualify for the FIS Freestyle Junior World Championships in Almaty, Kazakhstan Jan. 4-7. “I feel super ready,” she said. “I feel like I’m going to be a strong competitor.” While Keenan turned things around for U.S. junior nationals in March, her 2023-24 campaign wasn’t all smooth sailing. “I was just kind of on the struggle bus last year when it came to getting my turns better,” she said. “And I was getting discouraged because I felt like I was working really hard but I wasn’t seeing the results.” She said she learned her biggest lessons when she didn’t stand atop the podium. “I was really proud of how I was able to bounce back when things weren’t going great throughout the year and I was able to keep my head up,” Keenan said. She’s been working to perfect her turns and improve her aerial package — traditionally her biggest strength — throughout the off-season. In the gym, she trains her absorption timing through box jumps. During her three on-snow camps in May, July and October, she drills holding her direction and keeping the boots pointed down the hill. While last season’s aerial package was a back grab to a back ‘X,’ this year she’s dialed in her cork bottom air, honing it on course in Chile last month. With longtime SSCV mogul program director John Dowling taking a two-year leave of absence to work privately with Liz Lemley on the World Cup, Keenan’s worked primarily with Freddy Mooney, who has slid into Dowling’s role. “He’s a great coach,” Keenan said. “He’s really descriptive and detailed with his coaching and I really like working with him. I think he’s made a huge difference in my turns and my airs as well.” Outside of skiing, Keenan keeps herself busy. This June, she and her dad launched Kosak , a mogul-ski specific apparel line. “Kids are always looking for baggy stuff, and in order to do that you have to go XL and then cinch the waist like nobody’s business. We all had that problem,” Keenan said. “Our whole goal was to make ski pants that are baggy and fit in the waist.” Even without a targeted advertising campaign, Kosak has done a few thousand dollars worth of sales, Keenan’s dad, Jim said. A few SSCV skiers even sported the pants during the team’s October camp in Chile, where the locals gave positive reviews, he noted. “We expect and hope to start seeing substantive selling after Thanksgiving and then December and January when people see them on the hill,” said Jim Keenan. As far as her podcast goes, Keenan has some more big names in the hopper. She plans to chat with Johnny Moseley in December and is hoping to have Lindsey Vonn on at some point. Clearly, whether she’s behind the mic, selling merchandise or skiing moguls, Ava Keenan likes to go big. In fact, when she was asked what performance she was most proud of last year, she didn’t reflect on any one of her numerous victories, but instead pondered a third-place finish in Aspen. “I was the fastest girl there, had the best air package — I went so big on the bottom air that I cleared the landing,” she said. “I was really proud of how I decided to just go for it and not hold back.”
BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — Zach Kittley ran one of the nation’s best offenses at Texas Tech. Florida Atlantic has given him a bigger challenge. Kittley — the Texas Tech offensive coordinator for the last three seasons — is the new head coach at FAU, with the deal getting announced on Monday night. Kittley met the Owls’ players at a team meeting not long after his agreement with FAU was finalized. “He is a man of high integrity and character, with an incredible reputation in the profession for player development,” FAU athletic director Brian White said. “Zach is one of the most innovative offensive minds in the game, and I am confident in his ability to build a championship program with an exciting brand of football that can be a source of pride for our fans, our alumni, and the FAU community.” The 33-year-old Kittley will be formally introduced at a news conference Friday, the school said. “I know we can win here, and we have tremendous leadership from the top down to create a championship program,” Kittley said. “I am excited to get to know the student-athletes, build a staff, and get out in the community, and engage our tremendous supporters.” Kittley is replacing Tom Herman, with two games left in his second year at the school. Kittley had stints as offensive coordinator at Houston Baptist and Western Kentucky before returning to Texas Tech — his alma mater — in 2022 in the same role. The Red Raiders have averaged 435 yards per game over the last three seasons under Kittley, 22nd best among all FBS teams. This season saw the Red Raiders rank among the nation’s best offenses: They were eighth in yards per play, eighth in points per game, 10th in yards per game and did all that at a pace nearly unmatched nationally. Texas Tech averaged 78.25 plays per game this season, just behind Syracuse’s 78.33 for the national lead. As a student assistant, then graduate assistant and assistant quarterbacks coach at Texas Tech, Kittley helped coach Patrick Mahomes — the Kansas City Chiefs star, NFL MVP and Super Bowl champion — during his collegiate career. FAU President Stacy Volnick called Kittley “an ideal fit.” “What was clearly evident to me was Zach’s passion and excitement for the potential at Florida Atlantic,” Volnick said. “He is an incredibly impressive person. I am excited about his authenticity, his energy, and his family-oriented approach.” The Owls went 3-9 this season, their fourth consecutive losing record. Lane Kiffin went 27-13 with two bowl wins in his three seasons at FAU; the Owls are 22-35 in five seasons since Kiffin left for Ole Miss after the 2019 campaign. Kittley becomes the ninth coach in program history, after program founder Howard Schnellenberger, Carl Pelini, Brian Wright, Charlie Partridge, Kiffin, Willie Taggart, Herman and Chad Lunsford — the interim coach for the final two games this season. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

(Photo by Kampus Production via Pexels) By Stephen Beech Employees are suffering "techno-strain" as a result of digital systems making it difficult to switch off from work, warns a new study. Staff are experiencing mental and physical issues due to being "hyperconnected" through digital technology, according to the findings. Researchers from the University of Nottingham’s Schools of Psychology and Medicine conducted detailed interviews with employees from a variety of professions. They found that the cognitive and affective effort associated with constant connectivity and high work pace driven by the digital workplace is detrimental to employee well-being. The study is the final part of a research project exploring the "dark side effects" of digital working which include stress, overload, anxiety and fear of missing out. The results, published in the journal Frontiers in Organisational Psychology , highlight an "overarching" theme of "digital workplace technology intensity" as a result of digital workplace job demands. The research team says their findings indicate a "sense of burden" associated with working digitally which surfaced for most participants in perceptions of overload and feelings of being "overwhelmed" by the proliferation of messages, apps and meetings in the digital workplace. They say "fear of missing out" - or FOMO- on important information and contact with colleagues also contributed to stress and strain for digital workers, as did hassles encountered when using digital technologies. (Photo by Tara Winstead via Pexels) Study leader Elizabeth Marsh said: “Digital workplaces benefit both organizations and employees, for example by enabling collaborative and flexible work. "However, what we have found in our research is that there is a potential dark side to digital working, where employees can feel fatigue and strain due to being overburdened by the demands and intensity of the digital work environment. "A sense of pressure to be constantly connected and keeping up with messages can make it hard to psychologically detach from work." Fourteen employees were interviewed in detail and asked about their perceptions and experiences of digital workplace job demands and impacts to their health. Comments from interviewees included: “[It’s] just more difficult to leave it behind when it's all online and you can kind of jump on and do work at any time of the day or night.” Another participant said: “You kind of feel like you have to be there all the time. You have to be a little green light,” while another commented: “It's that pressure to respond [...] I've received an e-mail, I've gotta do this quickly because if not, someone might think “What is she doing from home?” In their analysis, the researchers explored potential underlying psychological, technological and organizational factors that may influence ways in which employees experience digital workplace job demands. The findings showed that participants' dark side experiences were particularly shaped by a pervasive and constant state of connectivity in the digital workplace, termed "hyperconnectivity." Those experiences contributed to a sense of pressure to be available and the erosion of work-life boundaries, according to the research team. (Photo by Thirdman via Pexels) They said the evidence also indicates that "hyperconnectivity" has become the norm among workers post-pandemic. PhD student Marsh said: “The findings underline the need for both researchers and professionals to identify, understand and mitigate the digital workplace job demands to protect the well-being of digital workers.” The research also makes practical suggestions for employers including helping workers improve their digital skills and empowering them to manage boundaries in the digital workplace. The team says their findings could also be used by IT departments to consider how to improve the usability and accessibility of the digital workplace, as well as reining in the proliferation of applications. Dr. Alexa Spence, Professor of Psychology, said: “This research extends the Job Demands-Resources literature by clarifying digital workplace job demands including hyperconnectivity and overload." She added: "It also contributes a novel construct of digital workplace technology intensity which adds new insight on the causes of technostress in the digital workplace. "In doing so, it highlights the potential health impacts, both mental and physical, of digital work.”Timberwolves push back start time vs. Spurs because of issue with game courtMiami Dolphins injury updates: 21-day practice windows open for Bradley Chubb and Cameron Goode

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — Maverick McNealy has learned in his five years on the PGA Tour that trying to win a tournament is “designed to make you feel as uncomfortable as you possibly can.” Standing in the 18th fairway Sunday in the RSM Classic, part of a four-way tie for the lead that included Florida State sophomore Luke Clanton, the 29-year-old McNealy had every reason to be uncomfortable. He had gone nine holes without a birdie. From 185 yards away he chose a 6-iron, a club that had gone anywhere from 120 yards to 240 yards during a week of big wind and cold weather, and at that moment as warm as it had been all tournament. The shot made it look like he had been there before, covering the flag and landing 5 feet away for a birdie and his first PGA Tour victory in his 134th start as a pro. It sends him to Maui to start next year and to the Masters in April for the first time. “A moment I’ll never forget,” he said. Daniel Berger missed a 20-foot birdie attempt on the 18th that preceded McNealy’s winner. He tied for second with Nico Echavarria and Clanton, both of whom missed par putts from inside 8 feet on the final hole that created the four-way tie. Berger got a small consolation prize, moving inside the top 125 to keep a full PGA Tour card for 2025 when the fields will be smaller and only the top 100 keep cards. Henrik Norlander, who was No. 126 in the FedEx Cup last year, had a 63-68 weekend and joined Berger as the two players who moved into the top 125. For Joel Dahmen, it was a matter of staying there. He was at No. 124 coming into the final tournament, had to make a 5-foot par putt just to make the cut on the number and then delivered a tee-to-green clinic — along with holing a 113-yard sand wedge for eagle early in his round — for a closing 64. It was enough to stay at No. 124 with nine points to spare. “Two of the biggest pressure moments of my career I showed up, and I can take that going forward,” Dahmen said. Clanton was a shot away from joining Nick Dunlap as amateur winners on the PGA Tour this year. Clanton, who has taken over as the top-ranked amateur in the world, has two runner-up finishes and four top 10s in the seven PGA Tour starts the last five months. He had the look of a winner, especially with McNealy stuck in neutral, when he poured in birdie putts on the 14th and 16th holes to tie for the lead. But he tugged his approach to the 18th into bunker, blasted out to 7 feet and missed his par putt. He shot 66. “It’s going to be a tough one to definitely take, for sure, after bogeying the last,” Clanton said. “But I think it’s proven to me that out here I can win, so I’ll be training for that.” Echavarria, who won in Japan a month ago, had not made a bogey all day until going long on the 18th, chipping to 9 feet and catching the lip with his par putt. Michael Thorbjornsen was poised to move into the top 125 until he pulled his approach into the water on the par-5 15th hole and made bogey, closing with three pars for a 69. He tied for eighth and finished at No. 129. Thorbjornsen still has a full card next year from being No. 1 in PGA Tour University, but his status won’t be as high. McNealy, son of Sun Microsystems co-founder Scott McNealy, had been doing some of his best work outside the ropes, particularly effecting a change in FedEx Cup points distribution to make it more equitable. Missing was a victory, and this one came down to the wire. He went out in 33 and led by two going to the back nine, and then it became a grind. He holed a 15-foot par putt from the fringe on the 11th to stay in the lead and saved par after going bunker-to-bunker on the 13th. But he dropped a shot with an errant drive on the 14th, and when Echavarria birdied the 15th ahead of him, McNealy was out of the lead for the first time all day. He answered at just the right time. The victory gets him into three $20 million events over the first two months of the year starting with The Sentry at Kapalua, along with his first trip to Augusta National.Nima Momeni has been found guilty of second degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Cash App founder Bob Lee, a verdict reached by a San Francisco jury after seven days of deliberations. The verdict of second degree murder carries a 15 years to life sentence and includes an enhancement for using a knife in the crime. Momeni was found not guilty of the more serious charge of pre-meditated first degree murder. Prosecutors Dane Reinstedt and Omid Talai were present in the courtroom for the verdict, as was Sgt. Brent Dittmer – who testified in the trial – and a handful of members of the DA's office. The Lee family including his ex-wife Krista and brother were also there with a number of other family members, friends and supporters. Defense attorneys Tony Brass and Zoe Aron were also present along with Nima's mother Mahnaz Momeni. The defendant's sister Khazar Momeni was not in attendance when the verdict was read in court Tuesday morning. Bob Lee family speaks Outside the courtroom, Lee's brother Timothy Oliver Lee said the family was satisfied with the verdict. "We're happy with the result today. We're happy that Nima Momeni won't be on the streets, no longer has the opportunity to harm anyone else in this world," he said. "The verdict of murder two will put him away for a long time." He also noted that besides Momeni being found guilty of the murder, the proceedings showed that his family was complicit in the crime by trying to help him cover it up and had "blood on their hands." He said that there were several dozen friends and supporters in the courtroom with the family when the verdict was read. "We're extremely thankful to the District Attorney's Office, we're extremely thankful for the juries. I think justice was done here today," he added. SF DA Jenkins defends city San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins was on hand for the verdict and thanked the attorneys who prosecuted the case outside the courtroom after the guilty verdict was read. "I knew was confident that we had the best two handling this case," Jenkins said. "And I think the verdict was a testament to the hard work they put in, to the great lawyers that they are, and to their commitment to justice and to making sure that this family received justice." She also pushed back on what Elon Musk and others said after the stabbing happened when critics claimed San Francisco is lawless and out of control as part of the popular "doom loop" narrative commonly aired on social media. "I think that hopefully now, we have once again established what truly happened here. We all know that after Bob Lee was murdered, Elon Musk took to Twitter to make an effort to really shame San Francisco , and to make it seem like this was about lawlessness in San Francisco and about what's going on in our streets," Jenkins said. She noted that law enforcement early felt the fatal stabbing of Lee was not a random crime. "And we knew it was something different. And I think today proved once again, that we are a city committed to accountability, we are a city committed to public safety," she added. "And that when something bad happens, which we can't always control, that law enforcement at every level will respond to make sure that there is justice and accountability in each and every situation." Jenkins said her office would prepare for an appeal to be filed by Momeni's defense team. Fatal stabbing of Cash App founder Momeni was accused of fatally stabbing tech executive Lee in a secluded part of San Francisco's East Cut neighborhood under the Bay Bridge in April 2023. Court officials announced late Monday afternoon that the jury had reached a verdict shortly before 4 p.m. Prosecutors accused Momeni of stabbing Lee with a kitchen paring knife following a heated discussion regarding his sister's relationship with Lee as well as their ongoing drug use . During the trial, Momeni's lawyers claimed that their client acted in self-defense , alleging that Lee lunged at Momeni with a knife in his hand while high on ketamine and cocaine. The defense said Lee became erratic and aggressive after Momeni made a "bad joke" at the expense of Lee's family. Intense trial The trial, which lasted six weeks, was punctuated by dramatic testimony, including an appearance on the stand of Momeni's sister, Khazar Momeni. She testified as a witness for the prosecution and insisted during her first day of testimony that her brother didn't kill Lee . She also detailed consuming several drugs with Lee and others in the days leading up to the fatal stabbing. During cross examination by defense attorneys, Khazar Momeni described Lee as "all over the place" and "aggressive" while high on drugs . Her testimony was criticized outside the courtroom by Lee's ex-wife Krista Lee, who accused her of trying to "make herself a victim." The testimony turned contentious when Nima Momeni took the stand, as the defendant sparred with the prosecution during cross-examination after earlier describing how Lee allegedly attacked him while his defense team questioned him about the confrontation. Challenging Nima Momeni's story San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Omid Talai challenged Momeni's version of the story and focused on his actions immediately after Lee's death, including his calls to attorneys and text messages with his sister. The case wrapped up in the first week of December with prosecutors trying to tear down Momeni's defense in their closing arguments and asking why he didn't call police or tell anyone about Lee allegedly attacking him . The defense showed a bombshell video during their closing arguments, presenting surveillance footage they claimed showed Lee doing cocaine on the street outside a private club with the same knife used to kill him hours later. Defense attorney Saam Zangeneh used a cardboard cutout of the knife in court so the jury could see the size of the paring knife he said the video proved Lee had in his possession all along. That video sparked a tense exchange between Zangeneh and Lee's former wife, who let out a loud, mocking laugh as he showed the footage. Zangeneh turned to directly address her, saying it wasn't funny. Prosecutors quickly objected and the judge intervened to restore order in the courtroom. The jury began deliberations on the morning of Dec. 4 . Who is Nima Momeni? Nima Momeni, 40, was described as a "tech entrepreneur" when he was arrested for the murder of Bob Lee back in April of 2023 . Momeni was taken into custody at his home in Emeryville on April 11, days after the deadly stabbing. According to his Linkedin page, Momeni is the owner of Expand IT. His profile describes the company as providing IT solutions in the Bay Area since 2010. Neighbors who lived near Momeni were shocked to hear of his arrest . After Momeni was taken into custody, Bay Area public relations veteran Sam Singer who worked next door to him said he had never had any issues with the defendant beyond hearing music being played a bit too loudly. "Warm, welcoming, very nice fellow, like any other tech consultant here in the Bay Area, lives in a live-work space," Singer said. "He handed us a stack of cards and said, 'If you ever need anything let me know.'" It later emerged that Khazar Momeni had introduced Lee to her brother, thinking that the successful Cash App founder might work with him on one of Nima's projects.
