Nichols judge won't step down

The second judge to oversee the murder trial of accused courthouse gunman Brian Nichols says he won't step down from the case. Nichols lawyers question whether Judge James Bodiford is impartial in the case, because he was quoted in a newspaper as saying he was friends with the judge Nichols is accused of killing. Nichols faces four murder charges in all stemming from a shooting rampage in 2005 that started at the Fulton County Courthouse.
