ATLANTA AP – The man accused of killing four people in a shooting spree that began in a courthouse asked a female friend who visited him in jail to describe the location of a tower and barbed wire around the building, according to a transcript of a recorded call between the two that was disclosed Tuesday.

The June 24, 2006, call between Lisa Meneguzzo, who helps out at a family-run business in Torrington, Conn., and the defendant, Brian Nichols, was referenced by prosecutors in a motion regarding some 400 hours of Nichols’ telephone calls that have been recorded while he has been in jail.
