ATLANTA -- Three more victims of the March 11th courthouse shootings have announced plans to sue the Fulton County Sheriff. Gina Clarke and Susan Christy stared down the barrel of Brian Nichols’ gun. In the minutes before police say Nichols murdered Judge Rowland Barnes and court reporter Julie Brandau. And tonight, they want compensation for their lives being turned upside down. There are now at least 6 lawsuits filed or about to be filed, in the wake of March 11.

Experts say they could cost Fulton County between $10 and $20 million.

Gina Clarke is a courthouse survivor, a Brian Nichols hostage, from Friday, March 11. She says, “I’ve never dreamed working in the court system 22 years. Actually, I knew it was tough, but I didn’t know until you’re standing in those shoes, how tough it is.”

Today, her attorney informed Fulton County, Gina plans to sue, for her mental and physical injuries.

Clarke says, “It’s a hard feeling, to know that they didn’t care enough to check on somebody who was held in the back with a gun to their head.”

It was just before 9 a.m. in Downtown Atlanta. Gina and fellow case manager, Susan Christy, were alongside the courtroom, in Judge Rowland Barnes’s chambers. Nichols walked in, and held them at gunpoint.

Clarke describes it as, “It’s just a horrible feeling.”

Their attorney has asked them not to talk about specifics, but they both expressed their feelings in a previous television interview. When asked if anyone with the Sheriff’s Office ever called her to check on her welfare to see how she was doing, Christy answered, “No sir.”

When asked how she felt about that, Christy responded, “Let down, disappointed.”

Clarke and Christy’s notice to sue alleges their injuries were due to “the gross negligence of the Sheriff” who failed “to properly secure Brian Nichols,” and failed “to provide the courtroom security mandated by (Georgia law.)”

Sheriff Freeman told us, when he first learned victims planned to sue, “There were some things that were obviously wrong, but whatever improvements that the commission thinks to improve, we’re working on them to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

Channel 2 has also learned that the wido of slain customs agent David Wilhelm, has filed suit. She's asking for unspecified damages, alleging Sheriff Freeman and his deputies failed to do their jobs.
