News Annals of bizarro: Still no death sentence for Nichols
Posted by Mara Shalhoup on Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 10:40 PM
The jury now has been deliberating for three days on whether to send convicted courthouse killer Brian Nichols to his death.
The guy shoots a judge and court reporter dead in their own courtroom; kills a deputy en route to his next crime, a violent carjacking; and later guns down a federal agent — and it takes THREE DAYS to decide his fate?
The latest from the AJC is that the Judge Rowland Barnes' widow is "almost numb just from waiting."
According to the story, the jury will reconvene on Saturday if it can't reach a decision today.
