A judge said today the murder trial of accused Fulton County courthouse shooter Brian Nichols has been thrown into "turmoil" by a district attorney's lawsuit questioning whether the judge should be removed from the case. Defense lawyer Robert McGlasson said before the trial resumes there should be a "cooling-off period" because of the lawsuit, because several of Nichols' attorneys aren't being paid and because some state legislators have openly criticized the judge hearing the case.
