 ATLANTA (AP) - A judge on Wednesday suspended the murder trial of a man accused in a 2005 courthouse killing spree because of problems the state has had funding his defense.Superior Court Judge Hilton Fuller said the funding situation forced him to postpone the questioning of potential jurors in Brian Nichols' case until Sept. 10. The questioning already had been delayed once because of defense funding problems.
Prosecutor Christopher Quinn argued that the trial should go forward as scheduled, saying plenty of money had been spent already by the defense.
Nichols, 35, is charged with killing four people and could face the death penalty if convicted in the March 11, 2005, attacks.
