A massage therapist who spent the night in Atlanta attorney Claud “Tex” McIver’s bedroom the night after he fatally shot his wife, and who accompanied him to an interview with Atlanta police, testified Thursday that she never had a romantic relationship with him.

Defense attorneys called Annie Anderson to testify in McIver’s ongoing murder trial to counter references to her continued presence in the former Fisher & Phillips partner’s company in the days following Diane McIver’s death. That included testimony from Rachel Styles, Diane McIver’s part-time personal assistant, who said Anderson slept on a pallet on the floor of Tex McIver’s bedroom the night after his wife’s death.
