Last month, former Nashville police officer Vincent Hill filed a 32-page complaint seeking to reopen the Steve McNair murder case. On Thursday, a three-member grand jury panel opted not to do so.
Elizabeth Merrill of ESPN.com reports that the panel concluded that insufficient evidence exists to present Hill’s theory to a full grand jury.
“Win, lose or draw, it’s historic to just get it at that stage,” Hill told Merrill. “Obviously, they thought there was something worth hearing just to even listen to the case.
“I would say that it’s not over at this point.”
We would say that it is over.
But that doesn’t mean that we think it should be. We’ve long been troubled by the notion that Sahel Kazemi, a 20-year-old woman calmly pumped multiple bullets into the body of a sleeping McNair, especially after Armen Keteyian of CBS reported that the man who sold Kazemi the gun is himself a convicted murderer who traded 49 calls and text messages with Kazemi on the day before the incident, even though he claimed initially that he barely knew Kazemi.
