Police: McNair death ruled murder-suicide
Football Betting Lines
07/08/2009 - Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nashville police held a press conference Wednesday and said the death of former NFL star Steve McNair was ruled a murder-suicide.
Nashville police chief Ronal Serpas said McNair was shot while sleeping by his 20-year-old girlfriend, Sahel Kazemi, last Saturday at a Nashville condominium. There was also information that Kazemi was having financial problems and Serpas said Kazemi was "spinning out of control."
Serpas added that through interviews with friends, Kazemi suspected McNair, who was married, was having an affair with a second woman.
"While we may never know what drove Kazemi to make that decision on Saturday morning, the totality of the evidence clearly points to murder-suicide," said Serpas.
Just a day after the deaths, police at first called it a homicide, but that clearly changed Wednesday.
"McNair was seated on the sofa and was likely asleep and we believe Kazemi shot him in the right temple then shot him twice in the chest and then shot him a final time in the left temple," said Serpas. "Kazemi then positioned herself next to McNair on the sofa and shot herself once in the right temple."
Serpas added that the five shell casings recovered matched the weapon purchased by Kazemi last Thursday. The five bullets recovered were all fired from the weapon at the scene.
"Because there's a lack of any evidence of a struggle or defensive wounds to McNair, his physical position on the sofa, the trajectory of the bullets in the wound pattern, we still believe Kazemi shot Mr. McNair and he didn't know," added Serpas.
McNair, who announced his retirement from the NFL in April 2008, last played in the NFL in 2007, when he was with the Ravens. The longtime Titans quarterback spent 13 seasons in the NFL, 11 with the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans franchise.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
