Brian Nichols found guilty
Prosecutors listen to the verdict being read. Defense attorneys brought witness forward to testify how Nichols' state of mind began deteriorating after a long-time girlfriend broke up with him and he was charged with raping her in August 2004. The prosecution countered there wasn't anything wrong with his mind. He was just angry and seeking revenge because he feared spending the rest of his life in prison for rape. And he was conniving liar who would do or say anything to get free. Hyosub Shin / hshin@ajc.com
