Accused cop killer William Woodward has been moved out of the DeKalb County jail, but authorities deny his claims that he was mistreated there.
Woodward was transferred to the Hall County jail Tuesday, Mikki Jones, a spokeswoman for the DeKalb sheriff’s office, said Friday.
Woodward, 27, is charged with murdering DeKalb police officers Eric Barker, 33, and Ricky Bryant Jr., 26, in an apartment complex parking lot on Jan. 16, 2008.
Prosecutors will seek the death penalty in a trial tentatively scheduled for September .
Woodward’s lawyers claimed in a court filing that he “was injured in an attack on him by another inmate.” They said that was part of “continuous harassment by correctional officers and inmates.”
The DeKalb district attorney’s office filed a response denying “any abuse or retaliation by state actors.” But prosecutors did not object to transferring Woodward, and Superior Court Judge Gail Flake signed an order to move him.

Oh, that poor guy, I'm sure he's in there wrongfully accused and is just a victim of society too. Please get this trial started, convict him, and put him to death. God bless Eric and Ricky's families.
waah, inmates are picking on me, waah, poor baby. Yes definatly a victim of society.
The eternal fires of Hell will be much worse than anything he'll see here on Earth. May our Lord show him more mercy than he did Eric and Ricky.
This low life and Bolton should share a cell together.
We'd all better pray that Judge Cynthia J Becker doesn't get the case, she'll be too involved looking at his website to see that he isn't a first time offender!
