Nanker Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 True. But then we also comdemn those before they are found guilty as well. This is Amerika, btw. 272203[/snapback] From the CNN article... "ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Atlanta police said late Friday night they have found the car believed stolen by Brian Nichols, the suspect accused of gunning down a popular judge, his court reporter and a deputy that morning. Police were led to the 1997 green Honda Accord in a parking garage in downtown Atlanta about 11 p.m., police said. The Honda was parked in the same garage where a reporter for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was struck and his car stolen. Friday morning, Nichols overpowered a deputy on the way to court, then shot Fulton County Superior Court Judge Rowland W. Barnes and court reporter Julie Ann Brandau before killing another deputy while fleeing the building, Atlanta police said. A search for Nichols is under way in Georgia and the neighboring states of Alabama, Tennessee and the Carolinas. He is described as being a black male, 33 years old, about 6 feet, 1 inch tall and weighing 210 pounds. "We're not going to rest until we have him in custody," said Atlanta Assistant Chief of Police Alan Dreher. The shootings occurred about 9 a.m. as Nichols was being led into Barnes' eighth-floor courtroom, Dreher said. Nichols was being retried on rape, false imprisonment and other charges after a first trial last week ended in a hung jury. The second trial began Monday. Nichols -- who was in custody but was allowed to change from jail scrubs into street clothes, a normal occurrence when defendants face jurors -- apparently struggled with the deputy for the gun and overpowered her, police said. Sources told CNN the initial overpowering occurred in an elevator. Jeffrey Salamone, attending trauma surgeon at Grady Memorial Hospital, said the deputy escorting Nichols suffered injuries consistent with a graze wound from a gunshot. Salamone said Cynthia Hall suffered a small bruise on her brain and some fractures around her face. She was in critical condition, but was expected to survive. Once inside Barnes' courtroom, Nichols held people in the room at bay briefly before shooting Barnes and Brandau -- both of whom died at the scene, police said. Nichols then fled the building, where outside he shot Sgt. Hoyt Teasley in the abdomen, officials said. The sheriff's deputy was pronounced dead at the hospital, Salamone said. Authorities said Nichols carjacked at least five vehicles, the last being the green Honda Accord." You're absolutely right. I'm amazed the ACLU hasn't taken his case yet. The cops actually called him "Accused of gunning down three people." Man, this guy's been libeled big time, and someone's going to pay! Yes, siree Bob! You can't go off and say someone's accused of anything until they've had a hearing or they've been indicted by a grand jury. Sloppy. Very sloppy journalism, and even worse police work. I'm so dissapointed. I expect more from our public servants and those that bring us - the uninformed public - our daily news. Now people PLEASE! Just wait till we find out all of the facts before jumping to conclusions. You never know what the deputy said to him in the elevator that might have set him off. For instance, she might have said: "Well you worthless fuggin piece of human excrement in shoes, you get any last night? Your figure it out yet that your B word got AIDS, or are you so knuckle-dragging stupid that he had to tell you?" I know I might have. Three people murdered and another left with brain damage. Hah! That's a small price to pay for this guy's freedom. Let's take up a collection for him. Maybe the French would get involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 It appears the suspect has some roots in the Baltimore area. I'm shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjeff215 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Who? 270932[/snapback] Me. Turns out he shot someone else while stealing a vehicle as well. That's four for this guy in 24 hours. If there is a hell, he's got a spot reserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I just hope they keep his rights protected. After all, he's only been accused of a crime. Maybe he gave up because he didn't want to miss the games on ESPN tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
