Members of the local and international media descended on the Fulton County Jail again Wednesday morning, braving the heat for hours on end in the hopes of spotting some of the defendants coming or going. Around 10 a.m., reporters were joined by a South Carolina couple eager to take in some of the action themselves.
Patty and Rusty Bickford said they drove from Columbia for the previous night’s WNBA game, but swung by the jail to “see justice served.”
”If he did half of what they say he did, he’s guilty as a dog,” said Patty Bickford, 70, a retired Lockheed Martin employee. ”It’s just fun watching history unfold, and being my age, I have seen so freaking much.”

Nadine Seiler, a home organizer from Waldorf, Maryland, walked past the jail wearing a custom-made headband featuring a photo of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
“I’m anxious that our democracy is in peril,” said Seiler, who arrived in Atlanta on Wednesday morning. She said she also attended the former president’s previous arraignments in New York, Florida and Washington D.C.
The 58-year-old Trinidad native dubbed her travels the “Trump Indictment Tour 2023.”
