Published on: 07/25/08

Three more jurors were qualified out of 11 interviewed Friday during jury pool selection in the Brian Nichols murder trial.

It was proceedings' first day at Atlanta Municipal Court. The trial was moved from the Fulton County Courthouse because two of the killings Nichols is accused of committing happened in a courtroom there. A third happened outside the courthouse.
