Nichols was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 2006. The sentence and conviction were upheld last year by the state Court of Appeals.
Prosecutors say Kiki Johnson and her unborn child were killed on July 24, 2004 when the car, in which they were passengers, collided with a vehicle driven by Nichols.
The accident occurred about four miles south of West Point on U.S. Highway 45 Alternate.
Nichols claimed the evidence did not support a murder conviction. The Appeals Court says there was evidence that Nichols' deliberately rear-ended the Johnson car, an action which contributed to the wreck.
