Nichols trial enters sentencing phase

The death penalty phase of the Brian Nichols trial is set to begin this morning in Atlanta. Nichols was found guilty last week in the fatal shootings of four people in spring 2005, in a spree that began in a downtown Atlanta courthouse. The dead included a judge, court reporter, deputy and federal agent. The sentencing phase was delayed from Monday--Nichols’ lawyers were given two days to prepare for another round of witnesses.
