Steve McNair:

New evidence has surfaced, regarding the death of Steve McNair. CBS News has discovered a possible third party.

According to Mike Florio:

As it turns out, another bit player has assumed a much more central figure.

Kazemi supposedly bought the gun from Adrian Gilliam Jr. in the parking lot of her place of employment. Police and Gilliam have characterized the transaction as a routine thing, with Gilliam now facing federal charges due to the fact that, as a convicted felon, he is not permitted to own a gun.

Keteyian interviewed Gilliam in prison, and the man who was convicted in 1993 on three counts of armed robbery and one count of second-degree murder claimed that he barely knew Kazemi and that he couldn't remember her name or how they met.

Per Keteyian, however, Kazemi's cell phone records demonstrate that she and Gilliam had been in almost daily contact in the weeks preceding Kazemi's death, with more than 200 calls and text messages exchanged between them.

The day before the July 4 shooting, Kazemi and Williams traded 49 calls and text messages.

Gilliam also called Kazemi at 12:02 a.m. on July 4, only a couple of hours before she died.

So while none of this means that Kazemi didn't pull the trigger on McNair and then herself, the fact that a convicted murderer is lying about his relationship with Kazemi is something that authorities who might prefer an open-and-shut case cannot in good conscience ignore.
