Tex and Diane had it all. A sprawling estate, deep pockets, even deeper connections. Until the night, neither of them wished to relive. The night only one of them can. She said, Tex, what did you do? You shot me. Tex's wife Diane was dead. Their storybook marriage was unraveling. The attorney accused of murdering his wife owed her thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars. Because Tex had blood on his hands, blood he says got there by accident. But he's going to have to prove it to a jury.

But that still doesn't explain how the gun went off. Guns just don't magically go off on their own. The tragedy of Tex and Diane became one of the highest profile criminal cases in Atlanta history. The power-brokering lawyer in a cowboy hat kills his wife. There's a million things in life that are hard to explain. And everyone has questions. Yeah, I mean, people do dumb shit all the time.

Because Tex isn't just fighting for his freedom, he's fighting for his fortune. Well Diane's fortune. Join us as we dive deep into a world of power, money and greed and one man's secret quest to grab the million-dollar fortune of his deceased wife.
