(WSMV) The toxicology reports for both Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi indicate that both were intoxicated at the time of the July 4 murder-suicide.
The medical examiner’s office said Kazemi was on drugs when she killed McNair.
The findings of the toxicology report shows Kazemi tested positive for marijuana, a drug known mostly to relax people, but in some cases make them paranoid.
“You would think that marijuana is not the kind of drug that would incite people to violence, but the effects of these drugs are different on different people. Some people can have very paranoid types of responses to even a drug like marijuana,” said chief state medical examiner Dr. Brucy Levy.
The toxicology report also shows that the alcohol levels in the ex-NFL quarterback at the time of his death were more than the legal driving limit.
Oh, puhlease! First of all, McNair may have been “intoxicated” but Kazemi could not be, because marijuana is not an “intoxicant” – it is non-toxic, so by definition, it cannot be an “intoxicant”.
Second, detection of marijuana in Kazemi’s system, unless it was an amount of 5ng/ml or more in the blood, doesn’t prove any sort of impairment from smoking marijuana.
Third, being the struggling-to-make-rent DUI girl-toy of a famous married cheating athlete alleged to be cheating on you as well is more likely to incite you to violence than marijuana.
(Nashville 24/7) Kazemi had become distraught and told friends her life was all messed up and she was going to end it all. Detectives learned she was facing a lot of financial stress…making payments on two cars – her own Kia, and the Cadillac Escalade that McNair gave her as a birthday present. In addition her roommate was moving out, doubling her rent.
Plus she was suspicious that McNair was seeing another woman. Detectives say Kazemi apparently watched another woman leaving the condo several days before the shooting and tried to follow her.
Her arrest for DUI early Thursday morning apparently made things worse. Later that day, Police say Kazemi contacted a person she knew who had a gun for sale. The transaction went down in the Opry Mills Mall parking lot around 5pm Thursday. She bought a 9mm handgun for $100.
As late as Friday night, Kazemi told a co-worker at Dave and Buster’s that she was thinking about ending it all. Inside the condo early Saturday morning, police paint a picture of a sad, desperate and determined young woman who was making good on her vow.
Sexual infidelity is a drug that produces far more violence and paranoia than marijuana.
