participated in her state of mind we think. >> police also say kazimi had mounting financial problems. the waitress was making two car payments and facing an increase in her rent. all that stress on top of the dui arrest prior to the shooting. she was driving and he was the passenger driving a cadillac she could barely afford. adam may, wjz eyewitness news. >> police records show during that dui stop, kazimi told the officer she wasn't drunk, just high. she was charged with dui and mcnair paid her bail. a million dollar funeral. los angeles officials say the funeral for michael jackson cost that city nearly a million and a half dollars. much of that money went into overtime pay for employees providing security and traffic control. city officials thought the price tag would be a lot higher. we heard $4 million going in. they are asking fans to donate money to help cover costs. a web site where you can do that. world leaders continue to meet at the g8 summit in italy.
