Nichols trial costs dispute goes to state high court

The argument over who should pay the bills for the trial of accused Atlanta courthouse killer Brian Nichols will be heard by the state’s high court today. The many legal costs have already led to a trail delay. There have been cuts to the budget of the public defender system which have affected the proceedings. It’s believed the costs amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Fulton County has been ordered to pay a portion of the state’s expenses for the trial.
