The wife of a Fulton County judge gunned-down in an Atlanta courthouse 3 years ago will get over $5-million dollars. The $5.2 million dollars to be paid to Claudia Barnes will settle one of several suits against Fulton County and sheriff Myron Freeman. Judge Rowland Barnes was one of four people killed in the shootings in March 2005. Brian Nichols is the accused gunman. Jury selection is underway for a trial that has been delayed several times.
