The headline reads: "Former Nichols judge critical of DA." The Cracker Squire says: "Judge Fuller, zip it; when will you learn not to comment."

From the AJC:

The former judge in the Brian Nichols' murder trial, Hilton Fuller, said Saturday that prosecutors share the blame with defense attorneys for all the delays and millions of dollars spent in the case.

Howard declined to comment Saturday, citing a gag order on the case.

State lawmakers and others harshly criticized [Judge Fuller's] handling of the case, including his decision to hire four attorneys for Nichols, running expenditures in the case up to $1.8 million.

Fuller suspended the trial indefinitely last year when state money for the case was cut off. He resigned from the case in January after he was quoted in The New Yorker magazine saying, "Everyone in the world knows he [Nichols] did it."
