Death penalty still possible for Nichols

Courthouse gunman Brian Nichols could still face the death penalty in federal court. Nichols was given 428 years in prison without parole on Saturday for killing four people in March 2005 during a shooting spree that started at the Fulton County Courthouse. He was spared the death penalty because the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict. Nichols could be tried on federal charges because one of his victims was a U.S. customs agent.
