The court-appointed administrator of Diane McIver’s estate is suing not only her husband, who shot her to death, but also McIver’s best friend and sole witness to the shooting.

Estate administrator Mary Margaret Oliver, a Decatur attorney and state representative, authorized the wrongful death suit, which names Diane McIver’s husband, former Fisher & Phillips partner “Tex” McIver, and Dani Jo Carter as defendants. The suit was filed on behalf of Diane McIver’s estate by Atlanta attorney Robin Frazer Clark on May 15 in DeKalb County State Court.
