Nichols judge could face high court

Prosecutors in the Brian Nichols courthouse shooting want the state Supreme Court to review the judge's refusal to step down from the case. The Fulton County district attorney's office accuses Superior Court Judge Hilton Fuller of being an advocate for the defense. In court papers filed today, the D-A's office asked Fuller to certify its disqualification request for immediate review by the high court. Fuller has indefinitely postponed Nichols' murder trial because of the lack of enough defense funding for the indigent Nichols.
