Our Editor's Take

Intent: The Tex McIver Case is a true crime podcast. It discusses one of the more controversial true crime cases in recent Georgia history. The podcast makes listeners wonder if the case presented here is as simple as it seems.

Tex McIver was a successful attorney based in Atlanta, Georgia. His wife, Diane, was a respected business executive within the local community. In 2016, tragedy struck the family. Tex shot Diane dead in their home. Why would this man kill his cherished wife? Why would he kill this beloved member of their community? Was it an accident? The podcast explains the story.

The police investigate further into the case. Yet they find that parts of Tex's story are inconsistent. But was Tex capable of killing his wife on purpose? Why would he want to harm her? The Intent: The Tex McIver Case podcast tells the story.

When the state finally decides to charge Tex with his wife's murder, he mounts an intense legal defense. As an expert attorney, he knows how the state is going to react and fights back at every chance he can.

The case ends up in front of the Georgia Supreme Court. Will Tex get away with the most heinous crime a husband could perpetrate against his wife? Or is his story about the gun going off actually true? Is an innocent man on trial in this case?

This true crime podcast is about more than a murder investigation. Intent: The Tex McIver Case is an examination of how a loving marriage can unravel over time. It details how money and power can make a situation even more corrosive. Each episode runs between 30 to 45 minutes.
