Randall Wayne Mays was convicted of capital murder, and sentenced to the death penalty for fatally shooting Henderson County Sheriff\u2019s Department Investigator Paul Steven Habelt, 63, and deputy Tony Ogburn, 61 on May 17, 2007. The officers were killed in the shootings after responding to a disturbance at a residence in Payne Springs. A third officer, HCSO Deputy Kevin Harris, was shot in the leg during the May 17 shooting. He did survive. Mays\u2019 attorney, Jeff Haas of Tyler, filed his appeal stating  Ineffective Assistance of Counsel. Some of the points he hopes to bring out are the fact that there was no Change of Venue applied to the case, as well as May\u2019s mental state at the time of the trial. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATHENS &#8212; The man who was convicted of killing two Henderson County Sheriff\u2019s Department officers was back in court Tuesday.
