ATLANTA -- Weapons were intercepted on two separate occasions during the past week in the sentencing phase of the Brian Nichols trial, said Superior Court Judge James G. Bodiford.

Channel 2 has confirmed the widow of a federal agent killed by Nichols had the gun in her purse. She said she forgot the gun was with her.

In a statement released to Channel 2, Bodiford said a gun and a razor were confiscated by security officers from persons attending the trial.

A high-placed source told Channel 2 that Candee Wilhelm was stopped by courthouse security when deputies found a pistol inside her purse as she tried to enter the building Tuesday. The source said Candee Wilhelm, widow to federal agent David Wilhelm, said it was an accident and she forgot the gun was in her purse.

Candee Wilhelm was not arrested or taken into custody. No charges have been filed.

On Thursday, Nov. 13, officials said a razor was taken from a man at the security checkpoint on the 6th floor of Atlanta Municipal Court where the death penalty case was moved because the Fulton Superior Court was the scene of three of the four deaths.

Reports of both incidents were forwarded to Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard who will decide if charges will be lodged against the man and woman.

The death penalty phase of trial has been taking place this week. Nichols was found guilty of all 54 counts against him on Nov. 7.

The jury deliberated for 12 hours before finding Nichols, 36, guilty of fatally shooting Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes and court reporter Julie Ann Brandau in the Fulton County courthouse and sheriff's Deputy Hoyt Teasley just outside the building in 2005. A fourth victim, federal agent David Wilhelm, was killed at a north Atlanta home he was renovating.

The same jurors who found Nichols guilty are deciding between life and death for him. The judge told the jurors the death penalty phase of the trial could go past Thanksgiving. If that happens, jurors will receive a four-day weekend for the holiday.

Police said courtroom visitors and press have to go through two security checks to get to the floor where the trial is happening.
