Judge questions
defense delays
ATLANTA (AP) - A
Superior Court judge on
Monday questioned a defense
request to delay the fast
approaching murder trial of
a man accused of killing four
people in a shooting spree
that started in the court
house where he was being
tried on rape charges.
Judge Hilton Fuller said
he needed more time to con
sider whether he will delay
Brian Nichols’ Jan. 11 trial.
But he appeared skeptical
about why the defense is
not prepared, more than 20
months after the March 11,
2005, shooting spree that
started at the Fulton County

“What would you say to
the comment by the state
that this case has been going
on for a while and you have
four lawyers and why is it
taking so long?” Fuller asked
defense lawyer Henderson
Hill.
Hill said the defense needs
to review evidence recently
turned over by prosecutors,
including tapes of Nichols’
conversations while in jail
since the shootings. That
makes it impossible for
the defense to be prepared
for trial in less than two
months, he said.

- Thousands of protesters
paraded, chanted and raised
white crosses Sunday out
side Fort Benning, the home
of the Army’s Airborne,
Ranger and Infantry train
ing, as they continued a
17-year effort to close a
military school they blame
for human rights abuses in
Latin America.
“This is about men with
guns,” said the Rev. Roy
Bourgeois, a Catholic priest
who spent five years as a
missionary in Bolivia and
founded the group, SOA
Watch, in 1990, to close the
school.
“People of these countries
are hungry,” said Bourgeois,
a naval officer during the
Vietnam War.

Georgia Aquarium bringing
more business to Atlanta
ATLANTA (AP) - Hotels
in the city have seen a more
steady flow of guests since
the opening of the Georgia
Aquarium.
Aquarium officials expect
to have seen 3.6 million visi
tors by the time of its one
year anniversary later this
week. And the aquarium’s
success has also helped down
town businesses around it.
“No one anticipated the
level of success that the
aquarium has brought to
downtown,” said Lauren
Jarrell, spokeswoman for
the Atlanta Convention &
Visitors Bureau, which is
responsible for selling the
city to conventioneers and
tourists. “It brought more
visitors downtown, filled our
hotel rooms and gave inves
tors a reason to believe that
the climate is ripe to move
their investment into the
market.”
Mike Sullivan, spokes-,
man for the Omni Hotel at
CNN, said the hotel has been
surprised by the number of
aquarium packages it has
sold.
“We thought we would see
a lot of activity in the sum
mertime when schools were
out, but we sold close to
200 packages a month year
round,” Sullivan said.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2006 ♦
As of October, more
than 2,000 individuals and
families have spent $240
to $290 for an Omni deal
that includes tickets to the
aquarium, an overnight stay
at the nearby hotel, break
fast and aquarium-related
goodies.
The aquarium’s success
also is helping fast-track
$2.5 billion in new invest
ment in downtown Atlanta,
which includes hotels, resi
dential units and retail,
said A.J. Robinson, presi
dent of the downtown busi
ness group Central Atlanta
Progress. At a meeting last
week, Robinson gave the
building industry a summa
ry of downtown Atlanta and
where it’s going. Atlanta,
which has always had strong
convention demand, now
has a tourism destination to
match.
“Our whole community
is awash in a new attitude
and optimism,” Robinson
said, giving the credit to the
aquarium.
