Former Nashville Police Officer Doesn't Believe McNair Death Was Murder/Suicide

Not sure how far this will go, but it is being discussed right now on the news. The former officer is "live" right now on Fox News.

Says he doesn't believe she pulled the trigger, and doesn't think that she would have been able to have fired all of the rounds that were filed, basically execution style. He was commenting on her smallish size, and possible inability to even move the chamber of the pistol.

Kind of insinuated that it might have been a "setup" that the supposed seller of the gun was in on.
 
Thats news to me. But seriously, how much strength does it take to pull a trigger or cock the hammer. Little kids find guns and shoot them all the time. So he is saying because of her small stature, that she is weaker than a 5th grader. (new show in the making)lol. I don't buy it for a minute. A trigger can be pulled just pulling it out of a holster or even dropping it can cause it to go off. Sounds like the guy is just trying to get some attention.
 
Dunno, I think it is worth listening to. Seemed to happen awful perfectly for someone that had no known prior experience with a gun.

I keep going back to the concern about how the call to police went down, and how it seemed fishy at the time.
 
He explained more, but didnt' have much time. Also sounded nervous to being broadcast on TV.
 
You watched it Mike and perhaps the former officer has a reason for feeling as he does but this part of his argument just don't hold water at all.

...doesn't think that she would have been able to have fired all of the rounds that were filed, basically execution style. He was commenting on her smallish size, and possible inability to even move the chamber of the pistol.
 
Yeah, that part isn't what made me take notice.

Part of why I am open to this as a possibility is the fact that this got wrapped up so quickly.

It was this guy's opinion that there were no major issues between these two, and they were together more than they were apart.

Maybe he knows more about the gun seller than we are hearing?

This guy wouldn't give his name, said he feared being recognized.
 
No major issues you say. He was married w/kids and leading a double life. She had every motive in the world to do it. Say maybe he refused to leave his wife for her and she couldn't/didn't want to play second fiddle to her anymore. Jealousy will make people do some stupid shit.
 
Here is the shooting technique used

Steve McNair murdered using pro Mozambique Drill: Could 20 year-old Sahel Kazemi do this? (video)

Steve McNair was killed using a technique called "the Mosambique Drill."

From Wiki:
"The Mozambique Drill, also called the Failure Drill, is a close-quarter shooting technique in which the shooter fires twice into the torso of a target - known as a "double tap" to the center of mass - momentarily assesses the hits, then follows them up with a carefully aimed shot to the head of the target."

"The third shot should be aimed to destroy the brain, killing the target and preventing the target from retaliating. The drill was added to the modern technique of gunfighting by Jeff Cooper based on the experience of one of his students, Mike Rousseau, while on duty in Mozambique. Rousseau was later killed in action in the Rhodesian War."

This is the exact police report of Steve McNair's murder. He was shot twice in the chest then one in the head. Just as in the video, McNair was shot a second time in the head, but from the opposite side. On July 4 at the party condo, the target was a sleeping / drunk McNair and not a paper plates.
 
LOL, they have a name for everything. Thats too funny. Still having a hard time believing it was anything else than a murder/suicide.

I agree that there is more to the story then was announced.....weather it was a murder/suicide or a set-up, we will never know......but this is not as cut and dry as it has been made out to be....it stinks like spoiled fish!

This has been my feeling since the case was wrapped up. It just seemed like the city was in a big hurry to get that case closed.
 
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Ex-NFL quarterback Steve McNair's mistress exchanged messages for weeks with the man who sold her the gun she used to kill McNair and herself, police said Tuesday.

The findings came a day after investigators released 50 text messages between McNair and Sahel Kazemi they say supports their conclusion of a murder-suicide because she was desperate over money and feared their relationship was ending.

Police spokesman Don Aaron said Kazemi also was in contact weeks before the July 4 killings with Adrian Gilliam, who pleaded guilty to gun charges for selling the weapon to her.

Aaron declined to say more about the exchange of messages, first reported by CBS News, because Gilliam was awaiting sentencing in December. Police say Kazemi bought the gun from Gilliam the night of July 3, and used it hours later.

"The Police Department has been aware that their relationship was more than we were initially led to believe," Aaron told The Associated Press.

According to the CBS report, Gilliam and Kazemi exchanged more than 200 calls more than three weeks before the murder-suicide, including 49 texts and calls the day before.

Seems to me like the police in Nashville are trying as hard as possible to just bury this.

Maybe it is because somebody is being paid off, maybe it is because the city doesn't want McNair's family to suffer any more than necessary.

Either way, I can't help but feel like something is being covered up here.
 
I will never understand why she or anyone else with problems dont just kill themselves instead of the murder suicide. :shake: :shake:

If that's what really happened.

I'm suprised I didn't catch this the first time around when Mike posted it. I think a big part of the key to this whole thing is "A Former Police Officer." One has to wonder about that part of the equation and why he is interjecting anything into this story???
