The case of accused Atlanta courthouse killer Brian Nichols still has financial problems, but the judge in the case has not ordered any further delays. Superior Court judge Hilton Fuller said Thursday that questioning of prospective jurors will stay on schedule to begin October 15th. However, the judge has expressed concern whether the trial will be fair, as the Nichols defense lawyers have not recently been paid for their services. The Nichols case has been beset by public defender funding problems--it has already cost the state 1.8 million dollars.
