I was just curious as to why Fox4 isn't covering the trial against Randall Wayne Mays; the man who killed the two law enforcement officers May 17, 2007.

Quote from Athens Daily Review:
"Mays was indicted last June for the May 17, 2007, shooting of Henderson County Sheriff’s Investigator Paul Habelt, 63, and Deputy Tony Ogburn, 61. Habelt and Ogburn were shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance at a Payne Springs residence.

A third deputy, Kevin Harris was also shot in the leg during the incident. He has been present at many of the pre-trial hearings."


If I recall correctly the shootout in Payne Springs was big enough news that Fox4 made an appearance; yet no mention of his trial? Why is that?
I realize that Cedar Creek Lake is not "dead center" of your viewing center; it is a bit to the south-east of Dallas. But why is it that the shooting was important enough to cover, but yet Fox4 can't even mention the trial?? Why? Has everyone forgotten the fallen men already?
(I apologize beforehand if I have somehow missed where Fox4 has mentioned the trial.)

For anyone who is perhaps interested, here are some of the write-ups done in the Athens Daily Review:
