Where on earth did he get a machine gun? Surely those aren't carried by court security.

And didn't he have to get searched at all before court? Where did he get the pot?

MSNBC reporting he was charged with having a machine gun in the past.

The machine gun was a prior charge... not today.

No.....I'm sorry; he had a machine gun and a hand gun when he kidnapped the girl friend!

The pot and the machine guns are merely what Atlanta courts takes off of the average citizen before they enter court.

James Bailey, a juror in the trial, said the jury was not in the courtroom at the time of the shooting. Nichols, who also faced charges of sodomy, possession of a machine gun, possession of a handgun, and possession of a large quantity of marijuana, had not taken the stand yet in the trial, which started Tuesday.

Bailey said Nichols made him and other jurors nervous. "Every time he looked up, he was staring at you," Bailey said.
