Lee’s ex-wife, Krista, was also seen entering the courthouse Tuesday dressed in black.
Nima’s defense attorneys have requested that Krista, who allegedly called her sister the “high tower whore,” not be allowed in the courtroom when Khazar testifies.
Her lawyers also accused her of defaming witnesses expected to take the stand, according to crown 4.
“The defense believes that Krista Lee has been ‘playing detective’ on many occasions and has no intention of stopping,” attorney Anthony Brass wrote in the motion.
“Clearly, Krista Lee feels emboldened by something, acting as a non-deputy SFPD officer to surreptitiously contact and defame witnesses, specifically the defendant’s immediate family, and use her influence to intimidate witnesses into doing her bidding.” .
Khazar is expected to testify as ordered by the judge, according to KRON 4 reporter Amy Larson.
In a heartbreaking 911 call played on the first day of the trial, Lee can be heard pleading for help before his death.
“Help, help, help, help, help,” Lee told the dispatcher, who asked for his location. Lee continued frantically: ‘Someone stabbed me. Help me please.
‘Please help me. I’m standing on the street. I need to get to the hospital.
He groaned in pain as his voice became weaker.
‘Help, help, help. Please, please,’ he pleaded before sirens could be heard in the background and the 911 call ended, KRON 4 reported.
Tragically, Lee could not be saved and succumbed to his injuries shortly after.
Prosecutors accuse Nima of planning the attack and taking a single knife from his sister’s kitchen before taking Lee to a secluded area and stabbing him three times.

“They stabbed him in the heart and left him to die,” said Omid Talai, assistant district attorney. “Our victim was stabbed repeatedly, once in the chest, once in the hip and literally once pierced through the heart.”
Nima has pleaded not guilty. He faces a sentence of 26 years to life in prison, if convicted.
Lee’s death, after staggering down a deserted downtown San Francisco street begging for help, shocked the tech community, with fellow executives and engineers writing tributes to the charismatic businessman’s generosity and brilliance.
Attorney Saam Zangeneh told jurors that defense attorneys will show that Nima bore Lee no ill will.

‘But I’m not going anywhere, why are you handcuffing me?’ she complained. ‘But that means, are you going to take me to jail?’
A witness to the exchange told DailyMail.com that Khazar appeared to be “high as hell.”
