You can also get a product market, then you can get your first big enterprise.

With KaE, the development of the Amazon is also the advantage of the development of the company. And that's the question as it is. Where the team, like security and compliance, is really worth it. It's long-awaited, it's almost out.

“That's why many startups are happy, and wait for them.”

And if it's not, it's still not worth it. Yet, start an Alfanta.com. I love you before this ceremony, and I love you more because of it. You may kiss your bro. They were inseparable.

Texts absolutely adore Diane. And Diane adore tax.

I feel like the prosecution has tried to make this out to be about someone who is successful and powerful, trying to get away with something like murder.

They don't know, texts entirely and personally, like I do. Well, women died after she was shot inside a car on this block. Previously, on Breakdown, welcome back. Before we plunge back into the story of Tex McIver. And I'm a reporter with the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and we've been covering the Tex McIver case since day one.

This was a enormously high profile case. They were a big time-powered couple. We're going to have plenty of beverages over here, so just everybody starts walking. Texts on to Ranch out in Putnam County, which is a pretty nice place for vacation home.

They woke up that morning, texts made sausage biscuits and coffee and took them upstairs to Diane and Danny Joe, her longtime friend.

They spend the afternoon playing golf, and they drive back to Atlanta. On their way back to their condo and bucket, they stop on the way at Longhorn to get something to eat. They have someone in a dinner. Danny Joe was driving because she didn't drink. My name is Bruce Harvey and I represent Tex McIver.

Tex is seated right behind his wife in the back passenger seat. They're going to hit traffic that just stops them still. So they're thinking we got to get off the interstate. We got to find a better way to get to Buckhead. According to Tex, he had been asleep, but when they go down this ramp, he wakes up.

It says, "I think this is a bad idea, ladies. It's a dangerous area. Will you hand me my gun, honey?" And she does. He felt back asleep. I think he fell into what he said was sort of a between being fully asleep and being fully awake.

According to Tex, the car comes to a stop. He was jolted awake. All right, he was handling the gun. He realized he was in my lap. He was ready to hang up when all of a sudden. Can a 30-8 special just accidentally go off?

“Never known it to happen. You have to pull the trigger.”

Jiminy, who? The gun would be right here in his lap according to what he said. So he was startled. He pulls the trigger and the bullet goes just to the left of the middle here. If you're trying to kill someone, you know that's going to be devastating to whoever's sitting there. Especially if you're trying to make it look like an accident.

Yes, I think so, yes. I think there are people who absolutely believe that he killed his wife for whatever reason, probably, for money. People get killed over money all the time. That's the dumbest plan on the history of the planet. And anybody that thinks that that is the way that Tex McCyver deliberately killed his wife is just living in a fantasy world.

They drove back to Atlanta on a Sunday night. They were headed to Tex and Diane's luxury condominium in Buckhead. On the night of September 25, 2016, Tex McCyver shot and killed his wife Diane. They'd been together for 16 years, married for 11 years.

“I remember the first time I ever met Diane.”

She just had such a commanding presence about her. According to Close Friend and Schwal, Diane was the love of Tex's life. She was beautiful and there was such an energy and electricity about her. The year was 2000, 47-year-old Diane was recently divorced with no children

In search of a fresh start, she moved into this luxurious condominium and Atlanta's swanky neighborhood, Buckhead. Everyone in the building was talking about her. Linda and Rans Winkler say their new neighbor was hard to miss. She wore Saint John and Chanel on the golf course.

She wore hats just about every day and she had a presence in a way of carrying herself. But, as Linda, no one paid more attention to Diane than another popular divorcee in the building. Well, the labor lawyer, Tex McCyver, the former met Diane.

“Did he have a love life that she knew of her dating life?”

No, he was so consumed with his work. He'd been through a very painful, difficult divorce. It wasn't until Diane came along that he was interested in having a romantic life. Tex was a decade older than Diane, but they soon became inseparable. Spending much of their free time at Tex's weekend home, fondly known as The Ranch.

With a couple was known for throwing parties for Atlanta's rich and powerful. Says, "Front and Putnam County Sheriff, Howard Seals."

They were big entertainers. They were always having somebody there for some kind of party or some kind of political thing like that.

We had had the best yet party. Diane was always the life of the party. And she was always the boss of the party too. After five years together, Diane agreed to become Mrs. Tex McCyver. He cared about her, which was probably the very first time she had that experience in a lot of years.

He didn't need somebody cared about her. For her, just for her, not for her money. He had as much as she, in fact, in terms of liquid assets. He was further along than she. So having both suffered through painful and expensive divorces,

the couple decided to keep their finances separate. I don't know anyone, actually, who's combined their assets, having married at the age that they married.

“And you have to remember that Tex had this terrible, painful, expensive divorce.”

And he was never going to put himself in a situation like that.

Was there an issue of money between them? Not in the conventional sense, but when they started building this place, you can see this place. You see what it's like. Show place. Yes.

Linda is talking about this guest house on Texas property. Before the wedding, they say Diane insisted on building the massive party house that she named the saloon. Tex really didn't want all this. Diane wanted it. The scale of it.

And he told her that if she wanted it, she would pay for it. And she said fine. But money and who paid for what in that relationship would come back to haunt Tex, becoming a possible motive for murder.

“Is there any scenario where you can think that Tex would have shot Diane intentionally?”

Never. Never once. And Schwalse is she admired Diane and Tex so much that she asked them to be Godparents to her youngest son, Austin. They just adored him and they just poured so much love into him.

Tex was all the family Diane had and after his divorce, he was estranged from two of his children. Two old for children of their own and says they focused all their attention on Austin. And how did Austin feel about them? Oh, he adored him.

The ranch was their special place. And every year, it's where Tex and Diane insisted on hosting extravagant birthday parties for Austin. The birthday parties were legendary. A sign of how much they loved him. Tell me when you heard about what happened.

So he called me. It was in the middle of night. And as soon as I heard his voice, he said we lost Diane. And my immediate reaction was, "How am I going to Austin?"

And says Austin never once blamed Tex for Diane's death.

The actually was just really worried about, you know, how Tex was doing. He's never said I didn't shoot her.

He is profoundly regretful.

It was all a tragic accident according to Tex's defenders. But here's the biggest problem. No one, including Tex, can explain how his gun went off and killed his wife. Which is testing that day before yesterday. He still cannot give an answer to exactly what happened.

Will you remember after the death of him? Peter Fish on. Two days after Diane's death, Tex and his then lawyer met with Atlanta police department homicide detectives.

“I immediately called out and said everybody on, right?”

And then he goes against Diane.

And he goes kind of flat.

She says, "I've been shot." As detectives set out to investigate the shooting of Diane Bekiver, they focused on their best witness. You're taking any, like, see the glasses or anything like that? No, you don't worry about it at all.

And they focused on their best piece of evidence. That's how it's going to be done. And that's how it will be done. We'll see you next week with Shopee-Fi. We'll see you next week with Shopee-Fi.

We'll see you next week with Shopee-Fi.

“There is no doubt that Tex Bekiver pulled the trigger on the gun that killed his wife Diane.”

The question is why? Previously on Breakdown. Reporter Bill Rankin's breakdown podcast takes a deep dive into the Shakespearean drama surrounding Tex Bekiver. He's a 48 hours consultant on the case. Holding a loaded handgun, pointing at your wife, falling asleep.

Seems pretty reckless. Using a similar car, Rankin showed us how the bullet that killed Diane Bekiver traveled through the passenger seat of Texas SUV. It hits there. And it goes from right to left through the seat. And exes out here.

Right. And goes down slightly downward path through his wife's body.

“The bullet went through Diane's left ribcage and diaphragm.”

Severe to vein and artery in her spleen. And then hit several organs, including her left kidney and stomach. And she started to put it in. Honey and head shape. You know, her path down.

That night, detectives were anxious to hear Danny Joe Carter. The car's driver explained what Tex did after he shot his wife. "I want to take the bus to the hospital. I want to take the bus to the hospital. Tex decided to go to Emory University Hospital.

There were four hospitals. All approximately less than five miles from where the shooting is believed to have taken place. Emory was the farthest at about 4.3 miles. But one of the best trauma centers in all of Georgia, Grady was only about 3.2 miles away."

Anybody who lives in Atlanta knows about Grady Hospital. And it's a level in trauma center. There were people who have said that he went to Emory Hospital, because it was going to take longer and maybe obliter bleed out. Family friend, Sheriff Howard Sills,

who is not involved in the case, says no way. And explains that Grady just was not on Texas radar. "If you're rich and you're flung it, then you don't want to go to Grady Hospital." This dramatic surveillance footage shows the SUV arriving at Emory's emergency room,

and Tex helping Diane into a wheelchair.

Then before surgery, Diane made a critical statement to her doctors.

Her husband did not mean to shoot her. "She said it was an accident." But two hours later, Diane McIver died on the operating table at 1249 AM.

This would be sitting in one of the way.

Two surgeons and scrubs in a chap that come on the floor and start walking to work." Now, it was up to detectives to determine, was it truly an accident? Or was it cold-blooded murder? This Smith and Weston 38 caliber revolver that killed Diane

was in the car's center console inside a plastic bag when it was handed to Tex by Diane. "We can't just break the entire office. We can't just break the entire office." The gun was still in the bag when it went off.

"The gun was still in the bag?" Yeah, I mean, it might have had this finger on the trigger.

The first rule of firing a gun is don't put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to pull

when you have your target in sight. "Lonforcement analyst and former police officer Vincent Hill says a guy like Tex should have known better." So to wake up out of this sleep, you're startled. Your fingers automatically on the trigger.

You pull this trigger and you do one shot. A kill shot in my mind is not likely. Lean into it. Cock the weapon. And Hill is not alone in his opinion.

“That's why I asked former Georgia Bureau of Investigation Agent Berk Davis”

to take me out to a gun range, not far from Tex's ranch. I wanted to understand the gun. "How were you doing?" Another revolver can be fired two ways. The handgun which only shoots one bullet at a time can be fired in two very different ways.

Single action or double action. Either way, it does not look good for Tex. Because experts say this gun only goes off if the trigger is pulled. In single action, the shooter pulls back the hammer like this. With the gun already cocked in this position, it hardly takes any effort at all to pull the trigger.

It only takes about two pounds of pressure to actually pull the trigger, which is why experienced gun owners say you only cocked this gun. If you know you are about to use it. "No one that I know of would go there with a gun and single action." A double action is a different story.

This gun is not loaded, but I want to show you what happens. In double action, you pull the trigger and the gun automatically pulls the hammer back, rotates the cylinder and fires. But it's not easy because it takes about 12 pounds of pressure to actually pull the trigger, making it much harder to fire it accidentally.

"It would be difficult." "But not impossible." "But somehow that gun was fired. And to this day, tax cannot answer this question." "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?" "Clearly a trigger was pulled."

“"The question is, was that a voluntary knowing and intentional action or an involuntary action?”

Based upon an accident." 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?" "There's I recall it was about 35 guns." Including rifles, handguns, and AR-15s. Would you describe him as a gun guy? "Yes and no, here in the south.

Everybody's got a lot of guns." "We're getting ready to put on a rodeo demonstration with real power." 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.

“"I think we've called it a Tex-book example of what not to do after you kill your wife."”

Bruce Harvey is one of the most distinctive members of the Atlanta defense bar. He is one of Brady Ponytailed and is back for decades.

Bruce Harvey was not Tex McIver's first attorney.

How did you first hear about it? "It was all over the medium." It all started at September 25. Harvey, a new Tex-through mutual friend, says he watched the news coverage for almost a year.

"They complete ongoing disaster.

Mismanaged from day one.

“I think resulting in the reason that we're sitting here to start with."”

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. Four days after the shooting, Tex had an explanation

in a statement made through a spokesman. He said that Tex told him to be asked for the gun because there were either homeless people, car jackers or black lives matter protesters. "What are we watching, Tex?" That gave Tex an air of being rich, white, and oblivious,

igniting a real-life bonfire of the vanities. "Why would you equate black lives matter protesters with car jackers? Why would you inject race into this?" That put the story into a whole other realm and it went national because of that.

"You have this very rich, very powerful white guy

and a city that's predominantly black.

“I think that's why this case is so appealing to the public."”

Texas attorney at the time publicly denied that his client ever said he was afraid of black protesters. But the damage was done and things were about to get even worse. TBS 46 has an exclusive look tonight at the diamonds, the first, and the designer bags about to go on auction. This was pretty stunning. Just two months after shooting his wife, Tex started selling off Diane's extensive collection of valuable belongings.

Her most expensive jewelry for coats and handbags would go to the highest bidders at an auction. The district attorney's office filed motions to block the sales, but a judge denied their requests. And as the executor of Diane's estate, Tex said he had no choice. "Why?" According to Tex, he said that in her will, Diane had left a lot of money to some of her employees and some of her friends.

So he needed that money to pay them. "No, I'll let money went into the estate and not to him." But timing in this case was everything. "Tex has come under fire for holding the two sales while still at the center of the house." "Judder to have gone forward at that time, coulder to have waited, the answer clearly is yes.

And that's something we just have to deal with." At least, Tex still had Danny Joe Carter. Danny Joe was his best witness. The only other person in the car when the gun went off. The night of the shooting, Danny Joe told detectives, in no uncertain terms,

she believed Diane's death was an accident. "There is not a doubt in my heart that was completely one of the trouble I can have." But on February 2, 2017, a little over four months after the shooting, Danny Joe changed her story. Not been nice to me and tried to manipulate me.

In a third interview with investigators conducted inside of Texas SUV,

Danny Joe alleged that on the night of the shooting, text told her to lie. "He tried to get me to lie. Supposedly to protect me from getting all wrapped up in this." Danny Joe said, "Tex walked up to her and said, "Why don't you just tell police you weren't in the car?" "There's no question she was in the car.

There's no question she was driving. There's video tape at Emory Hospital." Rose Harvey concedes that Eddie's possible text was just trying to protect his friend. Danny Joe, at that particular time, was being hounded by the media.

“And I think a lot of this effort was to try to allow her to avoid the media crunch.”

Not designed for her not to talk to the police or not to give a particular statement. But there was no media at the hospital. "There was going to be." "Are you saying that texts me have told her to tell the cops she wasn't in the car so that people would stop pounding her?" "Yes."

So, text may have told her that. "If he did." But there is no denying this. Days after the shooting, text orchestrated a meeting with his lawyers and two reporters. Where Danny Joe was to make a legal and public statement that the shooting was an accident.

When she was a no-show and stopped taking his calls, text left this frantic voicemail for her husband.

Danny is about to send me to prison.

“Please erase this voicemail message, but call me right away.”

You all have no idea the problem this is causing. It's innocent, but it's absolutely nuclear for me." So, what does he want to be examined? Well, we don't have to explain what he means. They have to explain why it is a crime for him to do that or how it relates.

Bruce Harvey was still watching from the sidelines. When on December 20, 2016, text got some good news. The Atlanta Police Department concluded the shooting was not an intentional act.

Based on their findings, the Fulton County District Attorney charged text with involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct.

After spending his birthday behind bars, text McIber bonds out of jail just before Christmas weekend. But with the case now when the hands of the District Attorney's office, they decided to launch their own investigation into the shooting.

“There was a bond hearing where the lead prosecutor Clint Rucker strongly hinted that they didn't believe it was accidental.”

That made everyone think, "Whoa, okay, this has given even more serious now." Hi, my name is Lloyd Lockridge, and I'm the host of a new podcast from Odyssey called Family Lore. In this podcast, I'm going to have people on to tell unusual and sometimes far-fetched stories about their families. I've heard my whole life that she ended at the Margarita. And then, we're going to investigate those stories and find out how much of it is true.

He gets a patent one month before the ride by this, "Oh my God, please follow and listen to Family Lore," an Odyssey podcast available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your shows. A little over a week after text McIber was charged with involuntary manslaughter, there was more breaking news in this case. Startling new information in the shooting death of Diana Giver.

Oh, we're going to affiliate CBS 46 uncovered evidence that at the time of Diane's death, tax owed his wife $350,000.

“You are supposed to pay her back with interest by December of 2014.”

That never happened. Text said that the money was Diane's contribution to the construction of that saloon on his ranch, and that, for tax purposes, Diane wanted it to look like a loan. There was $350,000, but it wasn't ever actually going to be paid back by him. For the $350,000 was a function of nothing more than taxes.

But on paper, it does look like a loan, and one that tax was expected to pay back. That could be argued that he didn't want to have to pay that off. Meanwhile, the Fulton County DA's office was looking for a possible motive for murder.

When they heard that Diane may have had a second will,

subpoenas were obtained to search the couple's financial records. And that's when this happened. During a search of their condo, tax was found to be violating the terms of his bond. With, of all things, possession of a gun. They found a gun in a sock drawer that he probably went to all the time when he was getting dressed,

and they found ammunition in the drawer right above it. Text insisted that the condo had already been searched for and cleared of any weapons. So the Glock pistol, which he claimed had once belonged to Diane, must have been planted. The judge didn't buy it. Mr. McGyver possessed the gun. I am going to revoke Mr. McGyver's bond.

After four months out on bond, tax was back behind bars. When the very next day there was yet another stunning announcement by the DA's office. A grand jury that had been hearing testimony for weeks concluded there was enough evidence to charge tax McGyver with the murder of his wife. It was surprising that it leapt so far from an accident to a cold, cruel, intentional killing.

Text would spend the next eight months in jail. Seeing loved ones only through video screen visitations. "Oh, awesome. Mommy's there we go." And desperately trying to get out on bond again. "Well, I love y'all. I hope to see everybody on Wednesday if things work out.

I love you, Austin." Then Bruce Harvey took over the case. "I don't believe. I don't believe in my heart of hearts. I don't believe as we're sitting here.

Harvey got tax released and put on house arrest.

Then he said about preparing for trial. On a case where there had been one public blunder after another. "Are you concerned about being able to seat an impartial jury?"

“"Yes. I am. I think tax has been unfairly vilified in the court of public opinion."”

jury selection in the trial of tax McGyver began on March 5th and took a whole week. Today, jury selection got underway in a Fulton County courtroom. "And a pool of more than 140 potential jurors. The morning, everyone." When the trial began, Chief Senior Assistant District Attorney Salita Griffin delivered the state's opening argument.

The day that the defendant shot his wife in a bag. His life was spinning out of control.

And what became fairly clear is that the prosecution believes tax McGyver's motive for murder was money.

"The easiest way for him to gain control was to kill Diane." "Is money a motive here?" "No." Very simple answer. He is much worse off without her. "I think that is a huge red herring. You know why? Because they've got nothing else."

"Now this is a case about maintaining an image of wealth and power that the defendant created for himself." "And the links that he went through to keep it." "Alright, what are you doing?" testimony in the murder trial of Tex McGyver began on March 13th and lasted 20 days. By closing arguments, the jury had heard two very different theories of why Tex McGyver shot his wife.

"I will talk to you about the facts." Prosecutor Clint Rucker and his team painted an ugly picture of a man who they say was broke. "And so desperate for money that he murdered his wife." "He was taken on money and he was regained control." Evidence showed that McGyver's salary at his law firm had been cut by more than half.

While the state says he was living way beyond his means.

“And remember, the McGyver's kept their finances separate.”

"Remember this email?" This is a couple of months before the murder. This is what the defendant says to his wife. "I am seriously trying to reduce my monthly expenses." "Why?"

"Because it's monthly expenses at the rest of the world with 20 to 25,000 dollars a month?" "What does he say?" "I plan on hitting the lotter." "Sometimes this week." The state believes that Tex was using Diane for her money.

But what drove him to murder is this. Before they were married, Tex borrowed 750,000 dollars from Diane. As payment, the state says he "deeded her half of his ranch." "What that meant was that now the property was no longer owned solely by the defendant."

“In 2011, Diane loaned Tex another $350,000 dollars.”

But this time, she made Tex sign a promissory note. They gave her the right to four clothes on the ranch if Tex didn't pay up. So when the loan didn't get paid, she said, "I will put another closet here that says." You know what? It's not that I don't have to wait until you don't pay me.

I can foreclose at any time. As we say here today, the loan is in default. By killing Diane, the defendant will regain sole ownership of the ranch. The jury heard Danny Joe's claim that Tex asked her to lie. They also heard about the Black Lives Matter statements and the auction.

But there was more. They heard what happened to Diane's ashes after she was cremated. Took him 42 days. Pick up his wash remains. That's why I found.

Tuck back in a closet. In a car at board box. It's just not right. But the defense team told a very different story. A love story.

Then we're in love. Nobody ever saw them arguing. Nobody ever heard her say, "I'm not foreclose if you don't pay me my money." This is the big one. Bruce Harvey and the defense team tried to show that Tex did not need Diane's money.

Tex was not rogue. Nor was he in dire financial strength.

The state's calculation put Tex's net worth at 1.7 million before Diane dies.

But what the defense tried hardest to hammer home was that the shooting.

And remember, that's what Diane said before she died.

The three people that were in the vehicle all said it was an accident. And as for the gun? Remember the expert with the firearm? Harvey used the state's own gun expert to show that anyone can fire the gun accidentally.

“Remember him demonstrating the weapon in pulling the trigger when he testified right here?”

You know, it's the trigger. Oops. He's demonstrating it for you on the witness stand. He accidentally pulls the trigger. He says, "Oops."

The shooting could not have been premeditated, says the defense.

Because it was Diane who told Danny Joe to take that exit when they hit traffic. And after Tex was handed his gun, he fell back asleep. The defense also presented an expert who said Tex suffered from a long documented sleep disorder, which might explain why he unintentionally pulled the trigger and can't remember how. Often times when people aroused from these, they don't aroused quickly.

They frequently have amnesia for this. As the case was about to go to the jury, the defense suggested that the state had not proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt.

We do not convict people in farms of speculation, but on the bedrock of fact, they tried to stand up for itself.

And on behalf of the state, the rucker pleaded with the jury to punish Diane McIvers' killer. Who was staying for Diane McIvers? A great woman she tried to be. The jury deliberated for about 29 hours. At one point each set in the back passenger seat of McIvers SUV, holding the gun that killed Diane. On their fourth full day of deliberations, the jury sent a note to the judge saying they were deadlocked.

We don't see it at all, to overcome our differences. But the judge told them to try again, then just two hours later, they reached a verdict.

“Was it malice murder, meaning text intended to kill Diane?”

Felony murder, text shot Diane with the intention of causing her bodily harm, but had not intended to kill her. Felony and voluntary manslaughter he acted recklessly, or not guilty. Well, when the jury came back in the form and read, not guilty on malice murder, I was like, oh my goodness. But then they said this, guilty of felony murder, guilty of felony murder, text was clearly stunned. The jury felt that he shot Diane without malice of forethought, but intending to do bodily harm.

Might have been a compromise for the jury. It's no compromise for a text McIvers because malice murder and felony murder both carry a life sentence. A mandatory life sentence. It's a complete tragedy. I mean, that closes the circle.

Everybody loses. Text handed over his belt and was handcuffed. Fulton County DA Paul Howard brought it back to the victim, Diane. We would like to say to Diane, we hope that you are watching, and we hope that you felt that we stood for you, and we stood for the things that you represented.

“Give them the shot, but they don't mind what life is serious.”

At his sentencing hearing, text spoke directly to Diane. I know she's here. I feel the present. I'm speaking to you. Don't know you're brought in, Lord Joy, I'm still alone. Let's feel them on this earth to be burned out. But it's what he didn't say that stood out.

I didn't ever hear you say you're sorry for what you did. To me, that silence speaks volumes. Prosecutors say this is justice for Diane.

She didn't need justice when it's a terrible accident.

“She's in heaven right now, just our broken.”

Text McIvers won his appeal for a new trial in 2022,

with the Georgia Supreme Court ruling that jurors should have been able to consider

“the lesser charge of misdemeanor involuntary manslaughter on January 26, 2024.”

He pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in exchange for a prison sentence

of eight years with credit for time served.

McIvers was released in January 2025.
