No sense zone

Brian Nichols, the man arrested in a deadly Atlanta courthouse rampage, was on his way to the courtroom at the time without handcuffs or leg irons because of a long string of legal rulings against letting a jury see a defendant in shackles.

I wonder which of the judges making such rulings would have been willing to escort him, unshackled, from his cell to the court room.
