She was not reported to be alone while he was dressing. I heard she went in to take off his cuffs so he could dress and she was alone with her weapon, against the protocol. No one has said she was in the cell while he dressed but the poster you replied to and I don't know where she got that information. It is false as far as I know.

The newspaper reporter who was carjacked mentioned that the guy didn't have a shirt on. Makes one think that he was in the middle of changing when he got the gun from the guard. But that doesn't mean she was in the room with him. He possibly was dressing alone and then got her to come into the room with him.

From ajc.com:

Deputy Cynthia Hall had shooting suspect Brian Nichols in a holding area on the eighth floor of the Justice Center Tower in downtown Atlanta. Nichols was changing his jail clothes to his street clothes to appear before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes in his rape case.

Before Hall was able to handcuff Nichols after he had changed, Thompson said, he grabbed the deputy's gun and shot her and grabbed her keys. Nichols needed the keys to leave the the hold room, which was between courtrooms 8A and 8B in the newest part of the courthouse.
