AC I was wondering if McNair was still with his wife at the time of his death.

Anderson,
Thank you so much for the statement you made on 07-07-09 on your show about "Fatherless Children". I found it to resonate in my spirit but had never heard that before. I wrote it down for a reminder of what it's like as a fatherless child. Thanks again.

I am SO PROUD of you Anderson Cooper and the rest of the CNN Crew for your recent coverage of the Michael Jackson tragedy. You did it with DIGNITY, something this country doesn't know the meaning of anymore. Regardless of any personal opinions regarding the scandals in his short life I never felt any of you trying to get any of those digs in. More than i can say for MSNBC especially! they remind me of wind up clowns at a carnival. We need to get back to the backbone this country used to have and report the facts not the fiction.! Love you guys P.S. Leave Sara Palin alone McCain already threw her to the sharks.

The Thriller album came out when I was a young kid, and was hooked on Michael Jackson and his music. When the child molestation charges first appeared, I hoped that it was not true. He paid 20 million for one case to go away and was acquitted on the other. He admitted to sleeping in the same bed with children who were not his own, but not to molesting them.

Now that he has passed away, we may never know the truth. There could be a way for us to find out if Michael Jackson was telling us the truth, or was a liar on other subjects though. During the autopsy, would they be able to determine if Michael Jackson was truly suffering from Vitiligo (skin whitening disease)?

If the autopsy or additional post mortem tests revealed he was not suffering from Vitiligo, this would reveal a lot about his ability to tell the truth on other matters like the child molestation charges.

It was also revealed that Michael was bald. The speculation I heard on CNN was that this could have been a result of the Pepsi accident where his head caught on fire. I believe it is also possible that the use of skin whitening products can cause hair loss also.

I think this would be a great segment for you're "Keeping them honest" segment. That is of course if you consider yourself a true reporter and not afraid to ask tough questions.

ac,
is true or what? and why is the media not covering this?
u'r the only person i trust.
the Supreme Court now has Obama Citizenship

Anderson it has been reported that Mechelle is the mother of two of McNair's boys. Who is the mother of the other two boys?

I think Michael Jackson's children should be left out of the media now – He would not want this. Yes seeing Paris at the memorial was awesome and what she had said about her dad but all the news have played that enough now. About who the bio. Father is should not be addressed – They loved Michael and that was their dad. If later in life they want to find out, then that is there choice to do. Michael left his kids to his mom. That is it that is what was in the will. NOT to find the Bio. Father. The doctor should also be off the news. IF the kids find out or hear the news that will mess them up more, their dad passing has messed them up enough. Their dad was Michael let them be with that.

Randi Kay's unnamed source on the MJ story today was none other than The SUN, a UK tabloid. Is that her idea of real journalism, quoting a notoriously unreliable smear newspaper?

I have a question:

Will the interview Anderson did with the Iranian-American journalist in Paris ever air?

With reference to the second government stimulus proposal, we need to realize that corporate bail-out is not the answer! If you divide the hundreds of billions of dollars already spent, it would be equal to approximately $100,000.00 to $150,000.00 per every tax paying citizen in the United States! If the people had been given that money in the first place, the economy would have become self-stimulated by the people affording them to pay their mortgage, car and credit card payments. Let's not be stupid the second time around. Corporate America has and will continue to "Lock it Up"!

Michael was a gift, sent to us for what was a brief moment in time and taken far too soon. I have been a fan of his music and dance since my high school days in Toronto in the 70’s,…….. and still to this day listen to many of his masterpieces while riding the train into the office every morning. His music always gets my day going, kind of pumps me up for the day ahead !

Sadly enough it appears that society has had a hand in his early demise and we should wonder whether he might still be with us today if we had not had this insatiable need for a constant supply of MJ news (most of which was not true). We cannot imagine the pressure he must have been under over the years, not helped any by the constant barrage of tabloid headlines screaming out lie after lie, yet he continued to give of himself until the end.

To coin one of his songs, can’t we just leave him alone, if anything for his children who now have to grow up without the parent they loved so dearly. Do we not think they have feelings and can feel pain when they read or hear about their father’s current state ?

News is not sensationalism ……..the public has twisted the sensationalism to appear to be news and in the process have hurt many people along the way. Yes, justice must be served and if any person is found to have played a part in his death ……they must pay the price. But we don’t need to hear speculative reports about what he looked like during his autopsy etc.

Maybe those providing our news services with these stories should look in the mirror and think how they would feel if they were a young child and it was their parent being scrutinized under the microscope.

hi am a spiritual person and i was looking at the news and i see that the little girl you are looking for is not dead i see that she is around the the same circle and she don't like her father going to that place keep look you will find her

If indeed Michael Jackson is not buried I think they should preserve him the way Bob Marley family preserve him in Jamaica. They could erect a statue of him over neverland or do it the Bob Marley way over his ranch. These are the technicalities in the law of California. The law prevents the family from burring Michael Jackson on Neverland Ranch but it did not states that they cannot turn him in a statue or preserve him like Bob Marley on his Neverland Ranch. That is something for his family to think about.

Without a video camera running at the time of this murder, how can they be so sure the girlfriend did this deed? Couldn't someone else have figured out how to make it look like she did it, and then slipped out?

Are we still on this "McNair is a good man" kick thats being perpatrated by most of the media? The guy was not a good person, DUI's, cheating on wife, fights off-field with his eammates..come on already

If the Michael Jackson's children's situation teaches us anything, it would be to somehow use your own dna to have children. I don't understand why Jackson did not do so - either with high tech sperm bank, or "the old fashioned way". What a shame his talent has NO CHANCE of ever being even partially duplicated!

McNair's death is a tragedy, but it should be noted that, the tragedy would have never taken place had he been faithful to his wife. Maybe this will open the eyes of other men who are thinking of stepping out on their wives and children.

I read a news article that stated the weapon was found under the young ladies body, I don't know if that was the case or not but if it is true, how was that possible if she killed herself???

Anderson,
I love your program and I greatly appreciate your commitment to responsbile journalism. My question in the Steve McNair tragedy is one of semantics. If he was married at the time of his death, then why has the media universally used the term "girlfriend" to describe his mistress? In the recent scandal involving Gov. Sanford, "mistress" was on the only term used to desribe his extramarital relationship. What is the reason for the distinction?
Thanks
Dave Willis

I know what the police concluded and perhaps with good reason.

However, I am wondering if they looked into the possibility of "honor killing" by Ms. Kazemi's family? Just as a possibility. Because it sounds unrealistic to expect a 20 yr old with no gun experience to shoot a burly former NFL QB from a "distance" and hit him in temple and twice in chest, and then have the wherewithal to go up close to this dying or dead (but profusely bleeding) gunshot man and shoot him again in temple at close range and then shoot herself.

Just does not add up.

AC, I have read the press release today concerning Steve McNair. Please give your theory on why Sahel would shoot herself in the right temple with her LEFT hand, which is where they found "partial" gun shot residue.......Hmmmmm???

I did not want to believe the murder suicide of McNair and his girlfriend but since they say she bought the gun 2 days before
then she must have planned this and he was probably breaking up with her. Another tragedy.What makes people so desperate they kill the ones they love?

Why should anyone but the family and friends of these two people care? When a celebrity dies, the media should report that so-and-so has died, and then move on. Reporting the death is news – everything else just cheapens our society.

At the concluding press conference, it was stated that after Ms. Kazemi shot Mr McNair, she shot herself in the RIGHT temple with her LEFT hand. I say left hand because it was stated that her right hand did not have any gunpowder residue. How is that possible to shoot yourself like that? I am a female and often go to the range. She had to be very strong to shoot one-handed, FIVE times. What is your take?

Anderson, I was very touched by the quote you gave on air about a child that loses a father. Bless you. I have a question about Steve McNair? If it was so obvious about the suicide murder, why did it take so lon to declare it as such? Karla from Mobile, Alabama

I would really love the media to leave MJ alone now. He's dead. Don't go after his kids. They don't deserve that. Noone in the public really wants to hear anything anymore about him. It's only some Media like TMZ or FOX who really want to perpetuate the stories for their own rating and not because the public wants to hear it.

Please, find some other stories. I heard Sanford cheated on both his wife and his argentinian hootchy mama with a chilean dude, go after that story. It might be true. Just leave MJ alone.

For some reason, this murder is fascinating. Wealthy, respected football great has it made, apparently has a beautiful family and then can't keep his britches zipped and ends up in his own little production of FATAL ATTRACTION. Photos of his murderer (found on off-brand Web sites) show a needy, young woman who is desperate to be sexy and desirable (in other words, you wouldn't take her home to Mama). There is obviously a pattern here. Did Michael have a history of serial relationships? Why did he rent a condo only 6 miles from his house and was his wife aware he even had it? While he may not have been getting a divorce (and obviously hr did not plan to marry Murder Girl despite what he told her), he obviously didn't have a normal marital relationship since his wife hadn't seen him in two days and he seemed to get away on a lot of vacations with his girlfriend. Come on ... the wife had to be turning her head to this or she had already written him off or something. There is a lot more to this story. I hope Ann Rule gets a hold of it and writes a true crime book .... I think she would have tons of materials to work with.

It's such a tragedy to see such a waste of life. Mr. McNair made a bad decision to date a woman outside of marriage. As no one today wants to acknowledge the good book says "You Reap What You Sew! This was the ultimate to reap...My heart goes out to his family.

Just curious whose gun was used? Did she go out & buy a gun? Or was it lying around the house? Doesn't sound like a spontaneous event.

There was gun powder residue on Kazemi left hand, making her left handed? Yet, the shot that ended her life was on her right temple. How did she manage to shoot herself on the right temple with her left hand? Think about it... pretty difficult for a left handed person to shoot herself in the right temple. Double homicide...

is this mark cooper and can i hang

Obviously, Mr. McNair was playing fast and loose outside of his marriage. It may become clear that he dumped the one who decided to shoot him in favor of another. How he could buy her a Cadillac SUV, in both their names, and have a condo love nest, without his wife knowing about it must have made him think he was invincible. As it turned out, he was not invincible. A very sad ending to a great career. Now what is his wife and children to do, how do they live with this? Will other sports heroes learn from this? Probably not.

i think McNair ate all of the 3 double whopper hamburgers they bought off BK..he was so freaking hungry and the lady got so mad

other explanation could be,,she thought it was a bebe gun

They said in the breifing today that she had gun shot residue on her left hand....YET SHE SHOT herself in the right temple?/// How can that be

Has anyone questioned why the gunshot residue was on Kazemi's left hand if she shot herself in her right temple?

Who was the mother of his other two children not created with his wife?

I would just like to say the doctor Klein is not a friend of Michael Jackson because if he was he would not be going against his wishes when it comes to his children. I feel he is also a liar, he stated that based off what he read he would not want to see the children with Joe Jackson. If he was a friend that traveled with, knew and cared for Michael Jackson he would know first hand about Joe Jackson. It is very sad but from what I have seen the people that were around Michael Jackson were people that did not care for him, that goes for Debbie Rowe, Dr. Klien, the doctor that was with him at the time of his death and numerous others. It is painfully obvious that this man needed help. And lastly reconstructing his face Dr. Klien that would explain the lip injections as far as I am concerned Michael face looked more distorted than it ever had at his death and it is due to you and your injections. Shame on you.

Sorry, but I can't help thinking: If you play with fire, you're going to get burned.

May McNair r.i.p.

Anderson, I would like to express my heartfelt thank you to you and to your network for the beautiful coverage that you did for our Shining Star and Beloved King, Michael Jackson. Berry Gordy captured the essence of this great man when he stated that simply, "Michael Jackson was the greatest entertainer that ever lived." Thank you for setting the stage for Jackson's legacy with the utmost compassion, kindness, reverence and dignity. Your coverage was truly fit for a King. Thank you Anderson Cooper. In your own right, you too truly are a star.

AC. Has anyone looked into the theory that Sahel killed McNair because she was disgraced by him? I have read reports that she found out he was seeing someone else, who may have been his wife. In this situation, not knowing that it was his wife she felt as though he made a fool of her. I read online that if a persian woman is disgraced suicide is her fate. Is there any truth to this?

Annie Kate.........Yes, McNair was still living with his wife and four children. What a freakin' waste.

POLICE RULE TOO FAST IN McNair Murder

We assume that Nashville detectives pulled cell phone records for McNair and the young lady for that night. As well as checked both of their e-mail accounts. This often reveals if there were contention between Steve and the young woman.

If nothing contentious is found in their private chats –one can safely rule suicide out.

A more likely scenario is that someone confronted her as she entered the apartment and waited for McNair to arrive. Their cell phone records will develop an accurate timeline. Because I doubt if he would come by and she not know he’s coming.

The angles that the bullets entered McNair is puzzling. Two shots to each temple–humm. She was careful to make sure she shot him from both sides of the head..humm

I also would not give up on the ex-boyfriend so fast –check his associates a little closer.

And please, never rule out that she could have bought the gun for someone else…maybe a family member even –they are deeply religious and do not approve of dating outside their culture..she could have opened the door to such a person or was forced inside earlier.

What 20-year old with a brand new luxury vehicle, a rent free condo, money to buy what she pleases –will be willing to end all of that-why would she kill the goose that laid her golden eggs?

If she had "financial troubles" and you're dating a millionaire why would you kill the only person that could help you solve your problem?

Also, reports say McNair bought the Escalade as a gift but she was to make the monthly payments –ON AN ESCALADE! ON A DAVE & BUSTER's salary?? Has Nashville's detectives gone mad?

the friend’s story is also a bit fishy…how do you look directly at Steve when you walk in the door and not notice that he has two bullet holes in his head and chest from which he is soaked in blood and not notice there is blood coming from the head of the young woman –he says he looked at Steve and then walked in the Kitchen. If I have not been able to reach my friend all morning -the first thing I would do when I walked through the door would be to try and engage in a conversation such as –hey man I've been trying to reach you all morning"..this guy does not say a word and walks into the Kitchen–hummm. Detectives should check into he and McNair's friendship and possible business dealings a bit closer.

Also check phone records of McNair and the friend that found him to determine if he had knowledge of McNair’s plans to visit the condo that morning. You can probably figure this out by pulling his McNair's phone records.

This case should not be closed.

Concerning Steve McNair murder – There was a 911 call saying there were two injured people. If the girl shot McNair then shot herself how did a third party know there were two injured people? Who made that 911 call? How were they able to come to the conclusion that two people were injured without being there to see it?

i was wondering what the time interval was in between the death of McNair and the death of his girlfriend

idc

I don't understand why so much coverage of Steve McNair. He used to be famous for playing football many years ago. According to the story, he is married with four children. He was having an affair at age 36 with a 20 year old, and she suspected he had another girlfriend on the side. This man is not someone to be looked up to. Why can't people get a divorce? Then they can hang from the chandeliers with 100 people if they want to! Just get a divorce!

It would be nice if someone find out why Sahel Kazmi, a 20 year old beautiful young girl was dating 36 years old McNair? Why do we always love to protect the famous people and leave out/sacrifices, in this case, the girlfriend? It is a shame no one is speaking on her behalf.

A tremendous amount of "soul searching" should go into our headlines....

An NFL star, shot in the prime of his life?? Just to screw a 20yr. old?? She obviously wasn't mature enough for a relationship with an unfaithful husband and absent father of four!!!!

Loved his music, but all the headlines and accolades for a child molester???

REAL people are dying and struggling to keep families and themselves together!!

I say we ditch the famous and concentrate on helping and discovering the ACTUAL people that make up our world. We might be less "interesting", but we matter more for our diligence, our hearts and our day to day reality with no drivers, body guards or nannies!!!

Just a person...with a beautiful son, a true loving husband and the hope that someday, people will remember that if you are looking for something...it is no farther than your own backyard.

At the concluding press conference, police chief stated that after Ms. Kazemi shot Mr McNair, she shot herself in the RIGHT temple with her LEFT hand. I say left hand because it was stated that her right hand did not have any gunpowder residue. How is that possible to shoot yourself like that? I am a female and often go to the range. She had to be very strong to shoot one-handed, FIVE times.Was she right or left handed? What is your take?

Enough of Michael Jackson. Every night I turn on CNN and think there must be something important in the world by now. This is not an earthquake, a tsumami or the death of Mother Theresa. Great musician...that's it. That's all. Great musician. Now move on. Please. really...PLEASE!

AC Doug Ritchie Q: Did no one hear five gunshots ring out? Surprising in a Condo that no one would hear and report that unmistakeable sound. So sad and such a waste of a great athlete.

Anderson,

Do we know the wherabouts of Ray Lewis at the time of this murder?

Why do they not call McNair situation what it really was ?? He was a married man with children and yet he was having an affair with a woman certainly not his wife. She should be called an adulteress instead of a girlfriend and he should be said to have been having an adulterous relationship outside his marriage. It is no different than the SC Senator's messy affair other than it may not have been financed by public funds. Instead it was funded by money he made as an idol to many young people who needed a role model with character and integrity instead of lust.

Why are the media (including CNN) referring to Sahel Kazemi as McNair's girlfriend? She was his mistress...he was married. Unmarried men have girlfriends.

How was Kazemi able to buy a handgun in the first place?

that what happen when sleep around so dont sleep around

Thanks CNN for your coverage of michael jackson i think you were fair
and didnt attack a dead man like peter king, if u didnt have the guts to say it when the man was alive then sitdown somwhere. What a coward
and p.s i wouldnt want my kids around congressman peter king.
I support the troops im a veteran and they should get more, but thats not Michaels fault he visited millitary bases to lift the spirit of troop and yes
millitary people are mourning michael jackson too.

Honestly, I think the motive was jealously mixed with mental instability. There are some reports that say that Kazemi thought McNair was with another woman, maybe his wife, maybe someone else. I think he told Kazemi he was getting divorced in order to get her to date him, but when Kazemi found out that he had no intention of leaving his wife she flipped thinking her life was over without him and decided to take him with her. I mostly feel bad for his kids, but on the outside it doesn't seem like his wife deserved this either.

AC:

The Mc Nair mess. There is no mystery here. It was a foregone conclusion, and this particular "movie" has played many times: (1) Black guy, white girl; (2) married man and psycho mistress; (3) football star with lots of money, and loose women; (4) black man with wife and children screwing around with white women; (5) black man buying a Cadillac for his white mistress; (6) female with low esteem, no education, a failure in every way, seeks a way out by trading sex for gifts and attention from guys with money.

There are no surprises here. It's the stuff of TV soap operas, but tragic when it plays out in real life. McNair was a loser and adulterer, and the whore that killed him was no less morally bankrupt. Like it says, "You reap what you have sown." The real victims are the children, family and friends of the two found shot to death.

I don't have any questions about the Steve McNair story......I already knew what happend....he cheated on his wife....he cheated on his wife a crazy person.....crazy person went crazy!....shocking..

No questions here, McNair had many women in Houston, TX when he played for the Oilers. Infamous for his lifestyle outside the game. When we heard about this unfortunate incident, we thought the crazy girlfriend must have found out abouth the many others........men will be men......and golddiggers won't leave rich men alone. What makes the crazy murderer think he would leave his awesome family for trash. When you prostitute yourself and sell yourself short, you get disrespected. We thought he slowed down as the years go went by...tragic for both. We are all worth more than we know.

Anderson Cooper Number One!

two young lives ended too soon. so sad!

I'm very upset how the MEDIA don't mind parading Michael's children all over the TV with so many lunatics out there who could try to kidnap them or worse. If they were anybody else's children the MEDIA would be the first to talk about how DISRESPECTFUL they (CHILDREN) are being treated. Regardless of how the MEDIA feels about Michael I think it is very wreckless how they are treating his children.
Several of you really disgust me with your self rightous acts. As if your pasts are lilly white. It seems the ones here lately throwing the stones seems to be the ones the stones are falling back on.

I also wondered about who was the mother or who were the mothers of the two sons of Steve McNair not mothered by Mechelle McNair. If one of the sons is already 17, then he was born before Mr. McNair married his wife. Mechelle McNair commented in one article that she had gotten her nursing degree after marrying her husband because you do not know if your marriage will last.

If she was shot in her RIGHT temple, why was there only gun residue on her LEFT hand?

I certainly don't condone what that poor girl did, but the real culprit here was McNair. He was obviously leading this young girl on and she was dazzled by his money and celebrity. She just lost it when she realized she was being used.

Hey, McNair had a wife and four kids.... what a loser!

I thought the gunpowder was found on her left hand, but her gunshot was to her right temple. How does someone shoot themselves in the right temple with their left hand? Information courtesy of profootballtalk.com. Go florio!

How can a 20 year old who purchased a gun a few days before the killing even know how to use it? How can someone at that age even know how to load the ammunition and shoot straight into a man of his size? Sounds strange.

I think it's a shame that people have to result to murdering another upon the realization of self-failure. People need to except responsibilty for their failures and learn to overcome them. This young lady, may god rest her soul, was sleeping with a married man and knew the consequences yet could not handle them. People! Start excepting responsibility and feel better in the morning.

This story was supposed to be about Steve McNair NOT Michael Jackson. He has had his day (two weeks now in fact) and has left the city of LA in even more debt. Where is his family and fans when the bill needs to be paid?

My prayers go out to Mrs. McNair and her boys....To have someone knock and inform you that your husband has an apartment,a mistress and he has been murdered, is too much for any human to process...God Bless her and the boys...

AC – when are you, Robin Roberts and Suzy Kolber coming out of the closet?

where are the answers to those questions posted?

AC does it not stands to reason, everybody is looking for upward mobility – at any cost?
Unfortunately, the guy looking for a fling, became the victim. She also was a victim. She fell for his world-win sweep. He nade a firm believer out of her – he spared no limits. His slush fund. She invested her youthful feelings. The thought that she was and had been "had" by the big timer, jaded her thinking. She didn't realize that her pay were the things.
Not everyone can take that full blown humiliation. She couldn't settle for the car and memories. In her mind, she was led to thinking all or none. She could not face her family and friends.
On the other hand, that's the biggest game played on youthful minds with the Black women. Once they have been sidelined or derailed, they find a way to move on. The price is hefty! Mental health is mental health. It's just that by-and-large the Black woman internalizes that it was all her fault, when it's not! The rationalization that "every dog has its day and some have two or three," sustains them as they hide in the church to lick and/or heal their wounds.
The player got played, finally! It looked like his wife might have lowered her standards, at first. I'm grateful that she was not aware of this silent mess.
Having Been there – Done that, it takes years to get a new life. You always have a 'de ja vue' feeling when meeting new people because of the first horrific encounter. Surely, one cannot go forward, looking backwards.

It goes to show that us men should only have one woman. We can't play with the minds of women. May God bless all that was hurt.

AC Did his wife really not know of the affair? There was a picture of his wife and McNair on June 25 and she was smiling. Is this why the girlfriend killed him, because he was NOT leaving his wife (rumored they were looking for a new house?)

Why is this woman being called a girlfriend. McNair was married. She is most appropriately termed a mistress, jezebel or harlot. Do not dignify this foolish girl's behavior. McNair was also an adulterer.

AC, I heard Mcnair's wife was planning to divorce him since he had this affair going on. Is that true?

Feel sorry for a guy who cheats on his wife, she accepts it. No deserves to die.. but pity...no

I really enjoyed your coverage of Michael Jackson's memorial. He realy had a lot of friends. This was evident. he also had a lot of fans. I hope he really finds peace now. My heart goes out to his family and his children.

Am just wondering but have investigators questioned Mcnairs's friend on whether Mcnair was planning on breaking up with kanemi. Did kanemi have a drinking/deep depression issues? It would be nice if more information on kanemi was released so having an idea of the type of person she was would help.

Mike, Toronto ON

AC Shay Did anyone ever think that if he had been home with his wife and kids this would not have happened. When you cheat on your spouse you open the door for this type of thing to happen. Respect the sanctity of marriage.

RE: McNair murder
If I read the report correctly there is something really odd going on. How/why would the young woman shoot herself in the right temple and thne have gunpowder residue on her LEFT fingers? She would have had to reach around her face and shoot left-handed to do this. Was she left -handed? or is the report inaccurate?

Thank you for covering Michael Jackson in a decent manner. Since we don't see anyone else in the horizon with his kind of star power despite all the rumours and problems, it was good reporting. Keepup the professional work.

Why the friend who found them dead did not call the Police himself and had to call one of the McNair's friends, first?

i have a question. ok, mcnair is sitting on the sofa, supposedly asleep. she shoots him in the right temple, then twice in the chest and then once in the left temple. i guess his head stays completely stationary after the first shot to the head? then they say she sat down next to him and shot herself in the right temple, planning to end up falling into his lap. but she ends up on the floor with the gun underneath her.
they also said there was trace gunpowder residue on her left hand and didn't mention any on her right. hard to shoot yourself in the right temple with your left hand.
i'm not disputing the conclusion. i'd just like to see a diagram of how this happened.

Was McNairs girlfriend pregnant? Was the ethnic pressure of a supposed Middle Eastern decent with a black man, coupled with a pregnancy, what took her over the top? The DUI coupled with the pregnancy pushed McNair to cut it off, pusher her over the edge?

Separately:

There must be some arrangement between McNair and his wife for his extra marital affairs – how could someone be out in the very public eye with a young woman with so many people being aware – he must of had a agreement with his wife about something like this.

Anderson,

Thank you for your wonderful reporting on such pertinent issues as the Michael Jackson spectacle... Seeing his freakish face plastered on "news" channels like CNN for nearly two weeks has been a refreshing departure from the regular drivel you try to sell the American people. I am also very proud of you!! You've really come a long way from your simple roots as an Astor-fortune heir and CIA training. Kudos fine sir! You are definitely the embodiment of the American Dream!! Rags to riches... or is it riches to more riches... I forget (it must be all of the flouride in my water...) But I digress...
The way that you can read the news that is selected for you to dispense to a dim-witted populace is marvelous! What a command for the English language you possess.And, of course, how can I not comment on your stunning blue eyes! Absolutely lovely. Thanks again for all that you, and CNN, continue to do to, I mean, for, the American public... We really did not need all of those additional brain cells anyway! Keep up the good work.

Your fellow sheep in the pen,

Jarod D.

I have been with quite a few married men and I know the pain that comes with it...I could identify why she did what she did....it's a very sad situation with no winners.

If McNair's girlfriend shot herself in the right temple, how did gunshot

If McNair girlfriend shot herself on the right temple, how did gunshot
residue get on her left hand?

ABC last night ran adds saying they had an exclusive interview with Debbie Rowe, that inverview was from 7 years ago but they failed to mention that...shame on ABC!

I loved Michael and understand that he created a door for blacks but I think the door was cracked open already by Jimmy Hendrix, Michael just opened it wide open! Does anyone see that???

My only question is why, of the multiple people that she told she planned to "end it," did no one try to find out what she meant. Also, between this and Gov. Sanford's debacle, I think it's becoming clear that one way or another men are going to learn the consequences of infidelity. I'm not justifying her action, I'm just saying that if he had been with his wife, where he presumably vowed to be, he would likely still be alive. Additionally, if she had honored his commitment and not pursued a married man, one ten years her senior no less, this tragedy would never had to occur. Just something to think about.

AC My name is Doni, and my question is regarding the person who was renting the condo with McNair. I know a lot of questions have arisen about him not calling 911, and instead calling another friend. The authorities have said that there was no "clean up" done to cover up or hide anything.
I'm inclined to believe that he, the corenter, is also married, and had a companion with him when he entered the condo. In order to protect his own outside relationship, he may have chosen to just leave with his companion instead of calling the authorities. What's your opinion on this?

I think that the media took the Michael Jackson coverage too far. Sure he was accomplished and broke barriers...in the 80s. The whole memorial coverage was more like a concert instead of a memorial service, not to mention the city of Los Angeles had to ask for DONATONS in order to pay its police officers for providing security! I'm more interested in issues that are really important at the moment, such as North Korea, nucelar weapons, China, the situations in Honduras and Iran, etc. Nearly 14 days of MJ coverage was too much to bear...I hope we can all go back to hearing news that contains largely need to know and important information.

No matter how the news cover the McNair story, it was a crying shame that this individual cause so much pain for that young lady to end both of their lives. Because of his ways, his sons lost a father, his wife lost a husband, his family lost a son, brotther and for way.... The young lady died of a broken heart.... What shame.... The games men play only hurt the women they love.

When is enough.....enough... I feel so sad for his wife and kids. The truth hurts but it also sets you free.

Another example of someone who led a very questionable life by normal decent standards who the media will treat as a hero. Black people's transgressions are glazed over as if they've never happened - it's white guilt at it's zenith.

Steve was disgracing his wife and four children. MJ settled 2 molestation suites, and I'll have to watch the BBC to see how our troops are doing in Iraq. Sometimes I wish I was braindead so I could just watch Fox - you people are killing me.

Why were there no gunshots heard when she shot him? I realize it was July 4th weekend, but from looking at the condos they seem close together. Wouldn't a neighbor have awoken to FOUR gunshots? Also, did she buy the gun illegally?

How much drugs was in his system? Where was his wife and kids?

Thank You....For doing a wonderful job covering the memorial.I cried the entire time.what a big loss to his family and fans..rip MJ

Thank you for your tasteful and dignified coverage of the Michael Jackson tragedy. (unlike some in the media.) We have truly lost the best entertainer of all time. He was an exceptional entertainer ,man and beloved father.
My personal opinon is to leave the question of paternity of the children alone. .No matter what ,Michael was and will always be their father. As once said "any man can father a child but it takes a special man to be a daddy ."And Michael was "daddy".The media has no place digging into who's the "biological" father . In my opinion this "bio" dad ( if he is not michael ) has no moral right to them.

People are quick to judge the so called needle marks in the autopsy.report as signs of drug abuse. . We do not know Mr jacksons medical history and therefore have no right to make rushes to judgement.

McNair Case: News article says she shot him with her left hand (residue found) but also says she shot herself in the right temple. Seems odd if she was lefthanded.??? Also, why the time lapse in calling the police?

Has anyone researched the mental health aspects of Sahel Kazemi? There was a report that she had identified herself as "high" to the policeman who stopped her for DUI recently. Was she strung out? Was there any history of bipolar, depression, ptsd or other disorders? Murder/suicide is a pretty big leap of motive for a non-addicted normal person.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
AC Concerning Steve McNair murder – There was a 911 call saying there were two injured people. If the girl shot McNair then shot herself how did a third party know there were two injured people? Who made that 911 call? How were they able to come to the conclusion that two people were injured without being there to see it?

Steve McNair was a "babe" all right. Any woman would fall for him,
and to her detriment, as was the case with Sahel Kazimi. As for wife
Mechele, what could she expect? Men are not hardwired to be
monogamous, especially one as attractive as Steve McNair. Marry
such a guy: Expect philandering. Resisting all the females falling
at his feet is more than such a man can resist. "I love my wife,
but ,oh, you kid!" And sure, the Steve McNairs of this world can be
as nice, generous, and reliab le in all kinds of ways outside the bedroom as anyone can hope for. Needless to say, perhaps,
sex can cause all kinds of troubles. Too bad these two young, alll right people became involved in an affair which led for them, and
for others attached to them, such unfortunate results.

Reports suggest that everything was fine between McNair and his wife and she did not know about the affair. However, his girlfriend assumed he would divorce his wife shortly. Everything seemed to go about fine until just before Kazemi bought the gun. What happened during that time? Did he confess that he lied to her about divorcing his wife? Did he confess that she is not the only one he's dating? She seemed to be happy with him, what shook her? Whatever happened, he was always and will be a great football player and leader.

Anderson,
Please, Please send me a AC360 t-shirt.. I am a daily reader of CNN on the internet. You guys do a wonderful and fair job of reporting the news.

"Do you have questions about the murder-suicide?" So, AC, you have some "inside scoop" which points to something other than a murder-suicide? It was staged to look like a murder-suicide. By whom? Oh, yes... interesting.

I haven't watched CNN all week.
I'm no MJ fan.
ohh and this story is old news..

Boo Hoo for McNair. He got caught the best way possible. Cheaters do it to themselves.

AC It does not fit right. Think about this if she shot him in the head first like they said from a short distance then still in rage shot him two more times in the chest after he was dead with a 9mm then sat down beside him and at close range shot him again in the head what head would be left with a 9mm and then shot her self in the head does not make since . And the person that found them saw them in the living room and when to kitchen because he did not see any blood what about parts of McNair head being blowed off with two shots from a 9mm. I think this is a good cover up and a really good set up. No way did she do it and then sit beside him and shot him in the head and herself and just get a little trace blood on her. Sounds more like when someone else shoot him and then when she came into the room shot him again and then they shot her look at her x . Just because she bought a gun does not mean she was the one that used it. one shoot yes two more rage another does not make since only if the 4 shoot was because someone was mad because he now killer her and blamed McNair because he did.so shoot him again after he shoot her.

Anderson,

This whole thing sounds fishy to me. How does she have gun residue on her left hand and a wound to the right side of her temple?

AC Is there a latent bias or logical explanation for the media calling this woman in which McNair had a martial affair with his "girlfirend?" Granted she was young, but she is an adult by legal standard. In Governor Sanford's case, the woman was characterized in the media as his "MISTRESS", and it was common knowledge he and his wife were on a trial separation. Also, in the case of Senator Ensign, any reason the media when talking about his affair, they refer to her as the MISTRESS? Even the murderer, Scott Peterson, in California, who was married to a very beautiful young woman, his sexual liasion was characterized as his MISTRESS. Can you help me understand how the media determines whether the other woman is a girlfriend or a MISTRESS? By calling her the girlfriend is akin to saying a relationship did not exist between him and his wife, almost as though her roll as his wife is some way lessen or marinalize. Please explain this one for me.
