McIver has admitted that he shot his wife, Diane, who was seated directly in front of him while dozing off to sleep while in the rear of the couple's vehicle late last summer, but he claims the gun was fired accidentally. He said the reason he was holding a weapon is that he was concerned about the safety of the in which neighborhood they were driving.
In an earlier interview with FOX 5 News, McIver denied he sought his wife's cash. In fact, he said, Diane's resources amounted to about one-half of his.
