ATLANTA (AP) - The murder trial of a man accused of a shooting spree that began in a courthouse has been suspended for about a month by the judge, who cited state delays in covering some defense expenses.
Superior Court Judge Hilton Fuller said Thursday that individual questioning by attorneys of potential jurors in the trial of Brian Nichols will be delayed from Monday until March 27.
Nichols' attorneys and the agency that covers costs for indigent defendants have clashed over the payment of some expenses. The defense had cost the state $1.2 million as of Dec. 31.
