Atlanta Fox channel reporting the shank was found on Nichols while entering the courtroom this past week. Supposedly there was a meeting afterwards in the Judge's chambers, but the reporters have not been able to find out what transpired at that meeting. If he'd been caught trying to bring a weapon into the courtroom, the Judge would have been within his rights to have this defendent in restraints in order to protect the court.
shoulda...woulda...coulda
I'd like to see a story about the trial last week; I wonder how many "hung" jurors there were.
