Attorneys for courthouse gunman Brian Nichols have tried to withdraw from the case. Defense lawyer Robert McGlasson told the judge Friday that the defense team could no longer represent Nichols because of allegations against another defense attorney.
The arguments were cited as prosecutors prepared to introduce letters Nichols wrote to Lisa Meneguzzo, a Connecticut woman who was implicated in helping plan an escape plot. The letters accused defense lawyer Jacob Sussman of wrongdoing. Superior Court Judge James Bodiford told the lawyers it was too late to quit.
Nichols is accused of killing four people in a shooting spree that began at a downtown Atlanta courthouse in spring 2005.
