A Fulton County assistant district attorney argued Tuesday that a former Fisher & Phillips law partner facing murder charges in the shooting death of his wife should not be released on bond because he was attempting to influence witnesses and prominent public officials—foremost among them a Fulton County judge.
Assistant District Attorney Clint Rucker said during Tuesday’s arraignment of Claud “Tex” McIver that Fulton County Superior Court Judge Craig Schwall had visited McIver—who is godfather to Schwall’s son, Austin—at the county jail after McIver was indicted and his bond revoked.
