IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF FULTON COUNTY


STATE OF GEORGIA

STATE OF GEORGIA,
Plaintiff,
INDICTMENT NO. 17SC153902
v.

CLAUD LEE MCIVER


Defendant.

RENEWED MOTION FOR BOND

Mr. McIver previously filed a motion for bond (after the partial reversal of his
convictions by the Georgia Supreme Court). Mr. McIver proposed that he would reside
with his sister and brother-in-law in Texas while on bond, and would abide by any
conditions of bond this Court required, including wearing an ankle monitor. This Court
held a hearing on October 7, 2022 and at the conclusion of the same denied bond for
Mr. McIver expressing concerns about Mr. McIver being a risk of flight, especially if he
resided in Texas. However, the Court invited Mr. McIver to ask for reconsideration of
bond in the future.
More than a month has passed since that hearing, and a date for Mr. McIver’s
retrial is still not set. Since the last hearing, Mr. McIver has been endeavoring to find a
residence in the state of Georgia that he could use if granted a bond. He is now prepared
to provide details of his proposal to the Court at a hearing on the matter.
Additionally, as the Court may remember, both Mr. Samuel and Mr. Harvey are
counsel of record for defendants named in the case of State of Georgia v. Kahlieff
Adams, et al, 22SC183572. That case is pending before the Honorable Ural Glanville in
Fulton County Superior Court. The case is set for trial to begin on January 9, 2023.
Yesterday, at a hearing, Judge Glanville reaffirmed that the trial would go forward on
that date, despite the State’s request for a continuance. The trial is expected to last six or
more months. This will obviously cause conflicts for a lengthy period of time for two of
Mr. McIver’s attorneys. In the Kahlieff case, both Mr. Samuel’s client and Mr. Harvey’s
client are in custody. Undersigned counsel also has certain trial dates already set for
January in other matters.

1
Therefore, in light of the unknown date of his retrial, and the time that has
passed since the expiration of his sentence of the remaining count of conviction that was
sustained by the Supreme Court, he asks the Court to set this matter down for a hearing
and, at the conclusion of the same, to GRANT this motion and set a reasonable bond in
his case.
