Randall Mays was scheduled to be executed later this month, but a judge removed the death warrant amid questions over his mental faculty.

Judge Joe Clayton of Henderson County withdrew the death warrant about two weeks before his Oct. 16 execution, according to the Texas Tribune, which reported that his attorneys filed a motion that said he was recently diagnosed with schizophrenia.
