District Attorney press release

Wednesday, the Court of Criminal Appeals continued a stay of execution for Randall Wayne Mays pending the outcome of competency proceedings in the 392nd District Court.

The Court of Criminal Appeals originally issued the stay in March of this year, just two days before Mays was set to be executed for the 2007 shooting deaths of Henderson County Sheriff’s Deputies Tony Ogburn and Paul Habelt.

In today’s ruling, the Court of Criminal Appeals found Mays made “a substantial showing that he is incompetent to be executed” and ordered further competency hearings including the appointment of mental health experts.
