Autopsy: Belcher’s blood-alcohol level was .17 when he shot Perkins [View all]

So the cops find Belcher asleep in his Bentley at 3 am and decide he's NOT intoxicated and help him call his other girlfriend who lives in the apartment building where he is parked. He goes inside, where she doesn't answer the door but her neighbors see him and describe his condition as "intoxicated". He goes inside and goes to sleep, gets up 3 1/2 hours later and drives home and murders his girlfriend.

Do you think the cops would have let him go if he had NOT been a Chiefs player?? Or did he manage to get drunk to twice the legal limit while he was asleep?

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher was legally drunk when he killed his girlfriend at their home and then himself outside the team’s Arrowhead Stadium practice facility, according to autopsy results released today.

The results show Belcher’s blood-alcohol level was .17 when he died, about five hours after police found him sleeping in his Bentley in front of his secret girlfriend’s apartment. That alcohol level is more than twice the legal driving limit.

The autopsy results for his live-in girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, showed virtually no trace of alcohol. Both autopsies showed no presence of illegal drugs.

Perkins’ autopsy showed she died from nine gunshot wounds, including one where the shot was fired at close range to the outside of her right hand, which could indicate she was trying to shield herself from the gunfire, according to a medical expert.
