The trial of Brian G. Nichols will take place in the building from which authorities say he escaped from a holding cell before murdering four people, including a judge, a court reporter and a sheriff's deputy. Judge Hilton M. Fuller's decision Wednesday came after a daylong hearing in which attorneys for Nichols argued that conducting the trial in any courtroom in Fulton County, Ga.'s Justice Center complex would prejudice jury members by exposing them to the crime scene.
