Brian Nichols timeline 2005-2008
The four victims are shown on a courtroom monitor in mid-December 2008. Nichols had earlier admitted killing Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes, who was overseeing his rape trial, Barnes' court reporter, Julie Ann Brandau, and Sheriff's Deputy Sgt. Hoyt Teasley, who pursued Nichols, on March 11, 2005. David Wilhelm, an off-duty federal agent, was gunned down during a robbery that night. John Spink / jspink@ajc.com
