NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) If former NFL star Steve McNair's girlfriend was upset about being arrested for drunken driving two days before she killed him and herself, she didn't let it show.
McNair was a passenger in Sahel Kazemi's car when Nashville police arrested her a week ago. Police released video of that DUI stop Wednesday, the same day they confirmed that Kazemi, 20, had killed McNair and then herself in a condo McNair rented.

In the video, recorded by patrol car cameras, Kazemi laughed and teased the officer, but also repeatedly asked to have McNair come to the window of the police cruiser where she was sitting.
The officer responded, "He's not happy." McNair, who wasn't charged, left in a cab without talking to her.
"I told him you wanted to talk to him and he was more than welcome to come back to the car. He just left in a taxi," Officer Shawn Taylor told Kazemi.
"I just want to know if Steve is going to come get me from jail," she said. He later bailed her out.
Kazemi, who was smiling, told the officer that she was not drinking and driving and that she was just high. Then she immediately said, "I'm not high."
As the officer questioned her, she got a call from someone who identified himself as Steve. Police Spokesman Don Aaron would not confirm the caller was McNair but said that could be inferred from the conversation.
The caller, who could be heard through speaker phone, told Kazemi the officer was one who had arrested him before.
Taylor stopped McNair and his brother-in-law in May 2007. McNair was charged with DUI because police said he allowed someone who was inebriated to drive his vehicle. That charge was later dropped.

"Do not let him know anything," the caller said.
Kazemi interrupted him to say, "I know, baby, you're on the speakerphone."
She told the officer later, "He told me I was going to meet you someday."
She continued to laugh and joke with the officer, calling him names and reading over his shoulder as he typed up his report.
Police said Wednesday that Kazemi was spinning out of control because of mounting financial problems and her suspicion that McNair was seeing someone else.

My marriage of 10yrs was brought down by my wife's addiction to xanax, and similar medications. She lost all ability to behave as a rational adult on this medication. Violence and verbal assault were often a side effect of her abuse. I remained ignorant of the pill's effects until after I wound up in jail after she lied to the police that I pushed her down the stairs.... do some research on your own, you'll be appalled that these medications are so widely prescribed and distributed illegally.
They are domestic terrorists.
where's the rest of the video ... the part that actually qualifies this as a dui? it looked like she passed the sobriety check w/ flying colors to me. there must be some other missing piece that led to the dui charge ... like maybe she refused a breathalyzer.
because police said he allowed someone
who was inebriated to drive his vehicle"
What a bunch of bulls_t ! ! !
Cops are truly the filth on society.
Truly stupid. We are all in trouble if
cops continue in their reeetarded ways.

- Mistress did it?? Strange - powder residue was found on the palm of her left hand . Residue (if any) on the top side of either hand was insufficient to make a determiantion as to whether she fired the gun. (if one notices all the other pics of her it appears she was right handed. He was asleep on the couch - seems like if they were splitting up they may have met but most likely one would have left after any discussion. Listen to the live 911 call - it was a joke. It is difficult to believe she did it. If one works had enough and looks of evidence to prove their view point and none to disprove it -likely their concusion will be drawn - Strange

- Who else would have done it? The wife? Or the "other/other woman"?

- She had no problem with the field sobriety test obviously. Seems like this disgraceful LEO was stalking McNair in this case.
