Brian Nichols timeline 2005-2008

Convicted killer Brian Nichols listens as Judge James Bodiford reads his sentencing on Friday night, Dec. 12, 2008. Nichols will spend the rest of his life in prison with no possibility of parole for murdering four people and brutally beating a guard, leaving her brain damaged, when he escaped custody at the Fulton County Courthouse on March 11, 2005 where he was on trial for rape. Here is a photo timeline documenting those three years. Hyosub Shin / hshin@ajc.com
