Momeni’s lawyer, Paula Canny claims the surveillance footage is not convincing. And says, “He’s gonna plead not guilty, and he’s gonna deny the special allegation and absolutely the plea will be not guilty.”
Paula Canny, 68, and her brother, Robert Canny are principals at a successful law practice in Burlingame. She is known for her celebrity clients including, Greg Anderson, the personal trainer who refused to testify against his trainee. She also represented San Francisco Giants all-star Barry Bonds. And Eliana Lopez Urbina, the wife of former San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, who was accused of domestic violence.
Canny has suggested police arrested the wrong person. “Clearly, they seem to think they have enough to make an arrest, but I haven’t seen it. So, until I see it and analyze it, I’m gonna say they’ve made a mistake. There isn’t enough to hold him. My client is a super nice person, his family loves him and supports him.”
