He wasn't driving

I know a few ordinary folks, that have been able to call someone, to pick them up and leave
While the driver got popped

I have no idea on the legal protocol of that, but it's a bit strange considering she's underage.

That's kind of usually how it is, one person mentions they are ready to part ways probably because they are ready to try it with someone else. I'm not sure how it is in Tennessee, but here all you have to do is live in separate places for a year duration and then the divorce papers can be filed and its just in the matter of the judge signing off on it. So its usually already living separate lives and just waiting for it legally to be done. Why should anyone wait around for another person when the inevitable legally will happen as it was decided?

There is no "waiting period" in TN if both parties are willing to divorce. My first wife asked me to move out in Sep. 02 and our divorce was final by mid Nov that year.

fwiw i read that it ws the same cop who had given him his dui a few years back. he might be a smooth talker or she may have just pitched a huge fit and warranted the extra attention. but he must have been intoxicated to some point for not being able to take the vehicle. as for the consent laws, would that hold him accountable even with her name also on the title? anyone know how that applies?

I heard it was the same cop too. I also heard she was high rather than drunk, but the laws are still the same. Not certain about that though.

It isn't that quick when you have children.

In the press. conf. Don Aaron just did he stumbled when asked if any evidence in the condo was moved before the police arrived. He also seemed very concerned about the amount of time that went by from when the bodies were found and the police were called, close to 1 hour.

Police Allow McNair To Walk Away From DUI Stop - NewsChannel 5.com - Nashville, Tennessee -

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - NewsChannel5 Investigates took a closer look at the Sahel Kazemi DUI arrest and whether McNair received special treatment.

Days before the shooting Metro Police arrested Kazemi for DUI. McNair was a passenger in the car, but he was not arrested.

Tennessee law state you can be arrested for allowing a drunken person to drive your car. If you hand over the keys you can still be charged.

Attorney David Raybin said plenty of car owners, who weren't even driving, have been arrested for DUI in Nashville.

"That routinely results in a DUI arrest in Nashville," said Raybin.

When police pulled over Kazemi on Broadway Thursday morning with Steve McNair in the passenger seat, police let him go.

"No I think the officer acted appropriately in that circumstance," said Raybin.

Raybin said the officer acted appropriately because McNair was not the only owner of the vehicle. The 2007 Cadillac Escalade was jointly owned by McNair and Kazemi.

"She was a co-owner. So she had every right to drive the vehicle and give herself permission to drive the car," said Raybin.

Metro police have arrested McNair before. Five years ago he was shown taking a field sobriety test. His blood alcohol level was double what the law allows, but a judge threw out the case ruling the officer did not have probable cause to pull McNair over in the first place.

Officer Shawn Taylor made that stop five years ago and he stopped them last Thursday.

"He acted appropriately in this particular case by not arresting Mr. McNair," said Raybin.

Kazemi was 20-years-old and not old enough to legally to drink. The arrest report stated she admitted to drinking eight hours earlier. Raybin said McNair bears no responsibility for her actions.

"She was not under 18. She was an adult, and there is no such crime as contributing to the delinquency of an adult," said Raybin.
If Kazemi had not been part owner of the car, McNair could have faced a DUI charge, but because it was part hers, McNair was not responsible for her driving.

I felt like this explains a lot of our questions.

Just read where one of the news sites are claiming the family was looking to buy another home. Not so sure the wife was aware of the supposed divorce.

They might've finally decided to get divorced. But a divorce wasn't about to be finalized if nothing had even been filed in court yet. It's a very lengthly process from the time you actually file for divorce til the time it's finalized.

Not true. It is not all that uncommon to come to an agreement between both parties before the divorce is even filed in order to make it go faster. I know of several who have done it that way and never even stepped foot in court.
