Intent: The Tex McIver Case - No Spoilers!
The question of who shot and killed Diane McIver in her vehicle in 2018 isn’t a mystery. Everyone knows it was her husband 78-year-old Claud "Tex" McIver. He’s admitted to as much. The real puzzle was his intent, hence the name of this podcast. Was it a malicious plot as the authorities of Fulton county Georgia believe or terrible decision-making as claimed by Tex? From Valut Studios and hosted by reporter Kaitlyn Ross, this show features experts and friends of the family weighing in on what they think happened as the case and its eventual trial are simultaneously covered. Every one of the 8 episodes is filled with information. This isn’t a case that could be summed up in one or two 60 minutes episodes. Race, contentious divorces, privilege, guns, favoritism, and so so much money are all elements in this case. The pod’s rating comes with a pretty notable asterisk because it was released as what seems like a second season to a different, very popular show The Officer’s Wife. The case could be made that both involve domestic violence and questionable murder of spouses. However, many reviewers are quick to point out the obvious benefit using the same feed would mean for the performance of this newest segment of the feed. Some parts of the show do have a slightly sensational tone which isn’t my favorite but isn’t overwhelming either.
