An Emory University police officer testified Thursday that he overheard Atlanta attorney Claud “Tex” McIver in the hospital emergency room asking his attorney, “What do I say? What’s the plan?” as McIver’s wife was dying.

Officer Frank Stroupe testified in McIver’s ongoing murder trial that emergency room personnel were treating McIver’s wife, Diane McIver, for a gunshot wound as he passed by the waiting room where McIver and his lawyer, Stephen Maples, were talking.
