Tex McIver's Retrial for Wife's Murder Begins Monday
The retrial for former Atlanta attorney Claud Lee "Tex" McIver III, who was convicted of killing his wife in 2018 but had his conviction overturned by the Georgia Supreme Court, is expected to begin on Monday. McIver's request for bond ahead of the retrial was denied by the court. The original trial drew national attention, with McIver admitting to shooting his wife but claiming it was accidental. Prosecutors argued that McIver intentionally killed his wife for financial gain. The jury found McIver guilty of felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during a felony, and influencing a witness, but acquitted him of malice murder.
