Tex McIver

Was the gun in single action or double action?

Good question.

Texas lawyer Bruce Harvey is one of Atlanta's most successful and sought-after defense attorneys.

What is your challenge with this gun?

But Tex was clearly no stranger to guns.

Out at the ranch, he had what many would consider an arsenal of weapons.

After Diane's death, Tex asked his buddy, Sheriff Sills, to go out to his ranch and collect his guns for safekeeping.

So you cleared out how many guns?

As I recall, it was about 35 guns.

Including rifles, handguns, and AR-15s.

Would you describe him as a gun guy?

We're getting ready to put on a rodeo demonstration with real cows.

But the idea that Tex McIver should have known better was about to become a central and recurring theme for the 75-year-old lawyer.

It gets really crazy.

Bruce Harvey was not Tex McIver's first attorney.

How did you first hear about it?

Startling new information in the shooting death of Diane McIver.

Harvey, who knew Tex through mutual friends, says he watched the news coverage for almost a year, while McIver made a mess of the case and his reputation.

It started right after the shooting.

Atlanta's media immediately began clamoring for an answer to why on earth Tex had been sitting right behind his wife in his SUV with his finger on the trigger of a loaded gun.
