High-profile trial switches venues

The murder trial of accused courthouse gunman Brian Nichols will not be held in the Fulton County Courthouse. Fulton County commissioners approved a lease with the city of Atlanta Wednesday to hold the trial at the Atlanta Municipal Court, which handles traffic cases. Superior Court Judge James Bodiford ordered the trial to be moved last week from the Fulton County Courthouse. Nichols is charged with killing four people on March 11, 2005, in a shooting spree that began inside the courthouse.
