Attorneys for Atlanta attorney Claud “Tex” McIver have accused Fulton County prosecutors of intentionally withholding exculpatory evidence generated by Atlanta police that would belie the murder charges currently pending against McIver in an emergency motion filed in Fulton County Superior Court on Monday.

McIver’s defense counsel, former Fulton County Superior Court Judge William Hill, said the police investigation following McIver’s fatal shooting of his wife, Diane McIver, including at least two recorded interviews that appear to vindicate McIver of murder, were “wrongly withheld” from the defense until after Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney denied McIver a bond following the lawyer’s June 6 arraignment.
