(May 9, 2008)—A jury Friday in Athens convicted a 48-year-old East Texas man in a shooting that left two Henderson County sheriff’s deputies dead and a third injured.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Randall Wayne Mays.

Deputies Paul Steven Habelt and Tony Price Ogburn were shot and killed after responding to a domestic disturbance call on May 17, 2007 at the Mays house near Payne Springs, about 50 miles southeast of Dallas.

Mays, who did not testify, was convicted in the killing of Ogburn.

I think they need to start televising execuctions, so criminals will get the message, and stop giving people life in prison. I think they should actually give prisoners a choice between electrocutions, hanging, or the needle. Let them decide their own death, and I bet some of them will caught the get right bug!
