Fulton County courthouse shoother could get help with defense

Accused Fulton County courthouse shooter Brian Nichols could get help with his defense if his lawyers get their way. Nichols is on trial for the March 2005 shooting of a judge and three others. His lawyers want a judge to decide whether or not the prosecutors should transcribe 400 hours of taped conversation from Nichols' phone. A ruling is expected on June 13. The judge hearing the case has suggested state law favors the prosecutors. Jury selection for the Nichols trail is scheduled for July.
