With a name like Tex McGiver, something was bound to happen.
He bypassed a level 4 trauma center to go to Emory University while his wife was dying.
Tex should never have been allowed to keep or own firearms after the mustang incident
It’s so funny hearing a therapist know everything about guns. I’m calling you Dr. Gunde from now on.
I’ve wondered where he got all the detailed info about guns.
I am puzzled about him falling asleep in a dangerous or sketchy neighborhood. Concerned enough to arm yourself then fall asleep?
Tex McIver. A name worthy of a character from the "Dallas" series.
He even looks like Jock Ewing!
He shot his wife, but who shot JR.
I need the wisdom of Dr. Grande in my daily life: "Let's look at the reasons for and against Paul finishing that box of Cheez-Its"
This is a really bizarre way to murder someone. But then ol' Tex seems like a bizarre guy.
Tex was a character
Maybe he was in early stages of dementia. But I am familiar with Edgewood exit as I worked downtown for almost 20 years. I have to question Diane's sanity for exiting there, unless you are going to your 9-5 weekday job.
121 fur coats…damn it’s like Diane walked up into a national park and said
_”I’ll take everything…that breathes and has a will to live.”_
Then her own husband murders her ass for money.
Rich people, huh
Grande knows a lot about guns.
Tex sounds like a real piece of work!
I never heard of this one. I missed how she ended up dying… well obviously from the gunshot, but it seems she was talking when she got to the hospital & then she was dead.
I rewatched a couple times trying to catch that same part but I think he kinda forgot to outright state that she died as a result of the shot.
@@benny_lemon5123
I think so too, or perhaps he accidentally edited that part out or something.
Why would he have selected the farthest hospital, Emory, instead of Grady, which is recognized as being the best hospital in the city for trauma and was closer if it was unintentional?
That remember me of a case when the wife shot her husband in his sleep. And was taking her time and drove slowly to the hospital when her complained about heartache. He didn't know he was shot till they show the Rx photo. He was saved and his wife was convicted but I don't know more about that. You surely heard about it.
4:44 This is weird because you don't say that Diane died. She was still alive and conscious in both the car and hospital, so I was like "oh, she actually survived", and then you skip to him being indicted for manslaughter. Didn't you leave out something important in the middle there?
That got my attention to. I have heard of this case before so I knew she died but Dr. didn’t mention it.
Even when my gun is unloaded and in a case the business end of the case is never pointed toward a person. We take gun safety extremely serious!
I can listen to even the most disturbing tales spoken in such a calm manner 😅
Asking the witness to change their story is a big mistake for him.
they reversed his conviction
Could kitty drive a Suburban?
@@bthomson
Who is kitty???
@@abelis644 check the name of the original commenter.
Thanks for your accurate description of firearms operation. It's not often one hears that, especially from a channel not related to such things directly. Good job Dr.
Dr. Grande definitely knows his firearms.
Agreed! It's refreshing.
He's a smart guy that prepares. A real Dr.
I absolutely love Dr. Grande's knowledge of cars and understanding of firearms. It's such important information in assessing the veracity of a person's story. Does a gun just "go off?" What's the difference in trigger pressure between single- and double-action?
@@christopherg9806 guns do not just go off unless there's a serious malfunction (part breaks) which would be obvious in an examination. Extremely rare. Extremely rare. Single action with hammer back might require between 2-4lbs of pressure. Very light and no movement rearward before firing. In double action it requires a much longer trigger pull and between 6-12lbs. Basically in double action it is only through purposely pulling the trigger can it go off. If it is in single action you could make an argument for a negligent oops. But then the hammer has to be back. In a covered hammer revolver it can only be fired in double action, meaning the trigger pull cocks then hammer and releases it, it usually requires 8lbs of force. And it is long but smooth. Long is relative of course. Handguns have a longer trigger pull than a rifle or shotgun.
Man I remember this case.
It seemed like a real bad case of I hate my wife and I know powerful people to make this go away.
No, more like he was guy who was declining in his career and finances. Then took a loan from his wife. He basically had no way to pay it back. He did some suspicious things after this shooting he called accidental. It helped the prosecutors case.
@@WithoutRemorse12
Yeah he was definitely desperate and instead of facing his fears decided to kill the woman he most likely just
Married for a sugar mama.
Surely he could've come up with a better plan if that was the case lol
Motive as old as time - greed. I always wondered if that other lady in the car had more involvement.
Did he get any money?
As always, Dr. Grande, I appreciate your understanding of firearms in explaining the event. Many in the media are completely ignorant of these details and believe guns just "go off" on their own. Also, everybody knows the sound of power door locks and I believe the "clicking" the driver heard was Tex cocking the hammer. I suspect did this on purpose, but definitely not beyond a reasonable doubt. Your theory on his motive aligns with the conclusion I came to as the video progressed. It would be interesting to know if Tex had anything more than a friendship with the woman driving, as she would make the perfect alibi to this "accident."
"Kill her in the kitchen and calling it a baking accident," made me laugh out loud. The kind of observation Bob Newhart might make.
Malice murder is exactly what they should call the made for TV movie.
So ok! I know I am not the only one who started smiling when they read "magically ' in the title! 🤣🤣🤣!
I think he knew exactly what he was doing. When someone wants to murder, they really don’t think about every detail. GUILTY!
his conviction was overturned stay mad
Amen!
Raving nonsense.
There's only 2 possible ways that gun could've gone off: 1) By magic...but since magic doesn't exist, then it must be option 2) it went off somehow because of his doing.
some older types of revolvers can discarg with out pulling the triger it was the way they was made. Though with the two diff stories that is kinda hard to belive.
@@TwiztidPain exactly what make & model of revolver is known to randomly shoot on its own accord??
> not trying to be argumentative- genuinely asking, i really want to know + can’t seem to find anything online
Alex Baldwin knows how this happens!
@@joegonzalez1941 good one! 🤘🤣👍
Maybe he was cleaning it ?
Every time I heard the name "Tex" I couldn't help but smile. Dr. Grande has me smiling through the entire video.
“Nah it was dumber than that…something like…Rex?”
It’s my birthday today and I get to start it off with a Dr. Grande video 🥳❤️ thanks for the upload!
Happy Birthday, Jamaal! 🎂
Happy birthday to you! 🎈
Happy birthday
@@susieangelo6410 Thank you Susie! :)
@@queeb70 Thank you!!!
I watched this case on many different shows. It's been on Dateline, 48hrs & a few more. When Tex got sentenced, he made the most awkward, strange, bizarre speech before court ended🤦♀️
Thanks again doc, fun as usual. As we all know, (except Alec that is) modern firearms don't discharge unless the trigger is depressed. It is a safety feature.
Diane pretty much owned Tex. The minute he tried to file for divorce, she could call in his debts. Likewise, should she decide to get a divorce- more likely since she was married to someone who was ridiculously bad with money- she would get everything again. As you suggested, I think the thought of that outweighed anything he might feel for his wife.
---------------- what in the name of agathaChristie writers-brain cramp club was the sob spending it on ...?
I've always had an interest in True Crime.
Also, I enjoy your channel.
I'm beginning to think there are a lot of crazy people that don't look or act crazy. They are just crazy.
I'm glad I enjoy my own company.
Thank you.
Peace 💕🇺🇲
There are crazy people out there...they don't even know they are crazy.
@@judybrown7601
Good one, Judy.
I've been tested and my sister had brain surgery twice. So we know we're not crazy ones.
Peace
I think your final thoughts are solid. Anyone who knows firearms knows you don't cock a self defence gun. This makes it too easy to shoot something you don't want to shoot. Also manipulating a handgun while it's in a plastic bag would be difficult if not impossible. Like you said, he saw an opportunity and took a chance. If she lived it would be, "oops. Sorry."
I think the reason Dr. Grande cracks the dry jokes is to prove the absurdity of some things said by the subjects.
I realise that this is a serious matter, but judging by the title I thought you might entertain us with some classic lighter moments...hilarious when you paint pictures of "how did he think that would be possible?". I also like the fact that you take us through the result of the trial and your thoughts on the verdict. Laughter and learning...Thanks Dr Grande
"So now the SUV is his bathroom? That can't be good for resale."
I'm glad he didn't. One this isn't the best video to joke about and second his humor is better when he doesn't push it.
Laughter and learning are a great combination indeed
Shooting a 38 special from a snubby, through a car seat, in front of a witness, is a VERY poor plan for a successful murder. If that were tried ten times I'd bet about eight of them would not result in a death. I agree with Dr. Grande that this is best seen as a manslaughter -- either voluntary or involuntary.
I think he cocked the hammer while they were driving and it went off
@@willnill7946
Guns don’t just go off. You have to pull the trigger.
The Government can spin all kinds of circumstances to make anyone a cold blooded murderer. I don't think Tex was guilty of murder, either.
Yes, but there is premeditation in the scenario Dr. Grande laid out.
The best channel on TH-cam
Hope you're doing well Dr G.
What I did was cast a magic spell so that my guns don't ever go off unless it's legal. It's amazing! Some people are always casting those spells of negligence so their magic isn't good. Just goes to show that you have to study to be a good wizard
The Old " gun went off by itself" trick.
Word to the wise... If you find yourself in a relationship with someone who goes by the name Tex, stop immediately and look in the mirror. If you can see it's you in the mirror, I have some bad news. If you see Tex in the mirror, I have worse news. 😐
lol. Very clever! 🤣
Just another classic oopsie-daisy. Hey, at least there seems to always be a pot of gold to help with the grieving process. Thanks, Dr. G - I’m up past my bedtime but you’re worth it! 😘 🌙
lol oopie daisy...
I find it interesting that people thought a couple, who had separate accounts and still did business with each other, had a good relationship.
It sounds like he had a strong financial motive to committ the crime.
EXCELLENT theory on what happened, I can totally believe that.
Great explanation and helpful analysis, thank you
I missed the part where she died. Didnt she also speak to police and say it was an accident
Same. I’m confused
This happened near me. I remember this case vividly.
Perfect timing. So glad to have a Grande story to watch. I know this story and I am looking forward to Grande’s analysis. Thanks, Grande.
Me too! I always comment on his name!
I agree with your theory. I think that the wine also emboldened him. Great analysis as usual. Keep up the good work. I can’t get enough of it 😎
I can picture so well those dogs jumping in the car and turning it back around. Man you made me laugh so hard
With the name of magiver you think he would have improvised something more with that plastic bag. More of a MacGruber move, Macgruber thinking "We need to break into that lab!, but how to get past that guard??" MacGruber says" Chelsey, quick, pass me that bag!", Chelsey "you got it MacGruber" MacGruber "now give me a towel and that revolver!..." later he proceeds to walk up to the henchmen sentry making crying baby noises, whilst cradling the bag like an enfant wrapped in a towel. When he's close enough he shoots the guard through the bag, - MacGruber intro music .
🤣🤣🤣
"This certainly doesn't help resale value."
😂
Yess king go off
Given his previous actions during the Mustang incident, this guy seemed overly worried about crime. I believe it was the same issue when he decided to have the gun on his lap.
He either had his finger on the trigger, seemingly thinking a carjacking might happen any second, or he nodded-off in the same position, then suddenly woke-up. I think he accidentally shot his wife because he was paranoid & terrible at handling a weapon.
He was terrible at transporting and storing his gun too. Who carries a revolver in a plastic bag? A cheap vinyl pocket holster might have prevented this?
It is not a good neighborhood. I question why she wanted to exit there when just one to 2 miles farther they could have exited onto or close to Piedmont.
I don't think he said "bathroom." He probably said "backseat" and the nurse didn't hear it right. He's unequivocally guilty though, nonetheless.
How do you mean "unequivocally"?
I'd be willing to bet that Dr. Grande knows more about guns than any psychiatrist . I am very impressed. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he had a side gig, around side arms.
Good one 😄
I think it's kind of creepy
Tex seems to be gun happy and a liar too people. I can't believe he shot his wife. The friend should have driven to the nearest hospital. Such a tragic situation, and a senseless murder of his wife. I'm so pleased he was caught out,and will spend time in prison. My sympathy goes too her family and loved ones. Thank you Dr Grande. Brilliant analysis, tragic outcome and informative topic.
I thought Grande said the the verdict was overturned? So why is he doing time? 🤔
I hope Diane's family got every piece of property and every dime Tex had. The only one who would believe his story is Alec Baldwin.
Hi Dr. Grande. Another case, in my opinion, of a group of people who have no empathy=personality disordered. I've known people throughout my entire life who're like that. My remedy is=don't have anything to do with troublemaking bullies because you can't mix business with basic. I've found it extremely rare to meet anyone who's serious about anything. Thanks for another on point analysis, peace & spectacular times hopefully await you, love, Janine Smiley🤩😉😍😎😀👒👑💍💎📿💄🍉🍐⛾❕❗💯🆒️😘🙂🍫🍯🎂🍰🍦🍨🍧🥧
Hey Dr. Grande💞 Thank you for the new video. Insomnia is the absolute worst, but these late night videos of yours are the best!
The shade in the title. 🤣
When we conduct ourselves as if we're living in the wild, wild west mixing that purported mindset with alcohol and a possible inability to self-modulate, bad things can happen whether that is the intended consequence or not. What a heart-breaking and destructive way to learn that lesson. Blessings to everyone involved. EDITED: Rights come with responsibilities.
I think that area genuinely is dangerous, isn't it?
@@eadweard. Dangerous for people driving in a locked car on a main thoroughfare? I don’t think so. If it was so dangerous and he was so worried, why did he fall back to sleep?
@@kitchenskills5427 Well possibly. And him falling asleep doesn't mean it wasn't dangerous.
@@eadweard. if he were so worried that asked for a gun to protect himself, fight or flight should have kicked in and kept him awake and vigilant. This and then directing care to Emory instead of Grady which is closer and better for trauma, combined with asking people to change their stories and immediately calling his attorney cry make him look very guilty.
@@kitchenskills5427 I didn't say he was worried; I said I thought that area was genuinely dangerous.
Thank you Dr Grande. That was a brilliant analysis and topic. Thank you once again Dr Grande, you are the best.
Hi mom! 3 months old already! Wow! Time flies! 🕰 Best to the family! 💐
@@bthomson Thank you he's beautiful.
Impossible for a shrouded hammer revolver like that to go off without intentional finger help. Maybe if it was "pre-cocked" (?) Naaah. I've always muddled over that one since this case first occurred. Since I was a boy, number one rule: Finger never touches trigger without intent to shoot. Okay, back to American Horror Story Season 4 Freak Show. The Giant Lady is sorta hot.
My guess is it could have been unintentional negligent discharge - especially if Tex cocked the gun which was pointed in an unsafe direction & broke trigger discipline while distracted. It wouldn't be the first such preventable accident caused by violating at least three safety rules....more like five or six rules in this case. Who carries a revolver in a plastic bag?
Tex was definitely trigger happy
IKR, Tex McIver apparently. For an old millionaire attorney this guy sure was a bonehead on many levels.
Tbf it’s simply a case of a liberal elite handling a firearm they know nothing about. The rules only apply to the rest of us not elite’s… at least that is their belief. Dude just wanted to off his wife for her money, again not surprising.
Lol “This certainly doesn’t help resale value” 😂 😂 😂
Hahahah I literally said on a comment the other day that I would love to see someone psycho analyze this guy! 🙌🏻
Fell asleep to your older videos teaching about mental disorders, back when you wore a tie. I love those! These are great too, I enjoy you’re teaching days for sure though 😊
Your*
"Consider this a divorce" >BANG
I would like to see Dr Grande on forgotten weapons with Ian chatting about accidental use of weapons.
Nice report and analysis again.
Dr. Grande is too funny! His humor creeps up on you.
This happened here in my city I live in. Tex has an expensive apartment in a high rise so there was no need to carry a gun. Also why was a gun in the car loaded with a round chambered. This whole case stinks...period
What a weird remark. He had a concealed carry gun. What does his nice apartment have to do with that?
@@eadweard. Not completely sure, but I think he means that Tex lived in a high rise, so he was relatively safe when he was at home. As soon as he leaves, that advantage would be gone, though.
Love how you educate us about firearms. Love your analysis. Love your channel. Love 💘 you. Keep up the good work and take care.
I think you nailed it. He really is a tool. Imo
He sounds pretty guilty to me. Great analysis as usual. Thanks Dr G😊💜💜
Your right on that one. How are you going my friend. The family and I wish you love and hugs. Also for your mum too 😃😜❤💙💙💙✉🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🎆
@@cottontails9003 Hello friend. I'm pooped so going to bed. Seeing Mum Weds again, thx for thoughts & compliment on comment. He knew how to handle a gun, just made poor excuses for planning her murder. Hugs across the miles to you all. Goodnight😴🌃🌜💛💛🥛💟💟🌻🌻♾

omg you cracked me up... car accident, baking accident, cleaning accident...😆😅🤣
Could there have been drinking involved?
There was; Tex and Diane drank wine at the Steak House, hence they were driven by Danny Jo.
121 fur coats? and she lived in Georgia?
Perhaps she traveled to Aspen a lot?
This is such an unusual and intriguing case! Thank you for the review, Dr. Grande.❤️
One of my dad's coworkers when I was a kid was also shot in the back in an SUV during a hunting trip. He survived but was paralyzed and it was confirmed to be an accident. please check your guns often, clean them and make sure you have the safety on. When keeping it in a vehicle, don't put it in places that could cause risk to others. It's heartbreaking and a harsh reality.
some older types of revolvers can discarg with out pulling the triger it was the way they was made. Though with the two diff stories that is kinda hard to belive.
Thanks for the upload and your analysis, Dr. Grande.
Thanks for the video DR.GRANDE.
Yes.. I think that you’re right… excellent analysis!
Excellent case analysis! ❤️
Thank you Dr. Grande! 💙
The Supreme Court got it right and Dr G, as usual, got it right too. 👍
Back seat as a bathroom… I can tell you from working at a body shop for 13 months, someone’s kid used a Dodge Journeys sto n go as a bathroom. Fun day for the detailers.
Thanks, Doc!
Amazing content
I watched this case on Dateline; it was bizarre then, and still doesn't make sense 😳. This old man never should have had a gun in his hands 😐
never heard of "plastic grocery bag carry" but I'm sure it's at least as advisable as purse carry 😅
I love his metaphors
Great ASMR. Thanks.
I’ve always wondered if he meant to kill his wife. Thank you
Thaught the good doctor said "Tax MacGyver" as in a acountent that do your taxes with a paperclip, duct tape and a car batteri! 😅
can you look into and make a video about the eliza fletcher case?
121 fur coats! What!
I thought McIver didn't like to use guns? No, wait, that's MacGyver... My mistake.
Was Tex drunk? If he was inebriated and disoriented an accident seems more likely. If you wanted your wife dead, killing her in front of an eyewitness seems incredibly stupid.
Knowledgeable discussion of guns
Dr. Grandi never explained when Diane died-the day of the shooting? 2 days later? 2 weeks..months?
I found this video as entertaining as a backseat bathroom.
I’ve seen this one before but def appreciate your analysis 🧐 Dr.G and your jokes always make me lol this is not a funny matter but your dry/dark sense of humor gets me rotfl my husband just looks at me like wtf and I’m like isn’t Dr Grande so freaking funny and awesome 👏🏼 …much respect to you and condolences 💐 to the families, thanks!
Your analysis is spot on - if you believe what the driver said. We only know what the driver said and the killer said - I believe the driver was in on it and it was planned. People that rich would have a Garmin or some type of directions in the car or on their phone. 123 fur coats? Give me that gun!
So glad I live in Canada. There is no need to keep a loaded gun in your ride or in the home. Occasionally we get some spectacular crimes but over all, crime is substantially lower in Canada due to a number of factors social factors.
