The judge presiding in the Brian Nichols murder trial is stepping down. Superior Court Judge Hilton Fuller has quit the case after a magazine article that quoted him as saying Nichols is guilty. Prosecutors have been trying to get Fuller removed from the case because he suspended the trial indefinitely because the state public defender's office cut off funding to Nichols' lawyers. Nichols is accused of killing four people two years ago after fleeing custody from the Fulton County Courthouse.
