Fulton County's chief jailer said Monday that an emergency motion by county prosecutors claiming Atlanta attorney Claud “Tex” McIver is being afforded “preferential treatment” while incarcerated included “blatant lies.”
Col. Mark Adger said that “every material fact … is incorrect” in the emergency motion filed by Chief Deputy District Attorney Lyndsey Rudder. The motion asked a judge to terminate the alleged special privileges afforded to McIver and return him to the Fulton County Jail in downtown Atlanta.
McIver has been jailed since Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney revoked his bond in April just a day before a county grand jury upgraded an involuntary manslaughter charge—then pending against him—to malice murder. Last week, before prosecutors claimed that McIver was receiving special treatment, McIver's lawyers had asked McBurney to reconsider a bond and had accused prosecutors of intentionally withholding exculpatory evidence that would belie the murder charges now pending against McIver.
