This is just gross negligence. And .. if I was related to the court reporter, I would be filing a lawsuit against the Sheriff's office.
I'm wondering if Nichols had been in and around the area long enough to have figured out that nobody was watching the area.
And .. secondly, why was a WOMAN in with a MAN who was changing his clothes. I really doubt MEN are allowed to be with WOMEN prisoners when they dress for court ..?? Hmmmm?
The judge and prosecutor had asked for more protection and this is what they got?
A female deputy alone in a room that is supposed to be monitored via video but in fact was not?
What was the security before the sheriff's office beefed up? Someone in a wheelchair and a frying pan?
On CNN last night they said it was Nichols 10th trip through that changing room so he knew the procedure very well.
And good point about a woman alone while a man is changing.
There was an interview on wsb radio last night with a Renee Rockwell, iirc. who said that he had been through the drill around ten times during his two trials.
