Mays Rejects Plea Offer

Cameron Mays has rejected an offer by prosecutors to plead guilty to Second Degree Murder.

Mays, along with his attorney Kia Richardson, was in Third Judicial District Court in Ruston this morning.

The offer included a life sentence that would run concurrently with the life sentence that Mays is now serving, after he was convicted in April, 2016 of aggravated rape. Also, the offer included dropping other charges against him.

As a result, Mays is now set to go to trial at 9:00 AM, 2/25/19.

He allegedly killed retired Grambling Professor Susan Hashway in her Paynter Drive home in June of 2012.

Appearing for the prosecution was Assistant Attorney General Michele Thompson.

Presiding was Division B Judge Tommy Rogers.
