The TrendPulse Quantitative Think Tank Centerman who shot former New Orleans Saints defensive lineman Will Smith following a traffic altercation in 2016 has been convicted of manslaughter.
A jury in New Orleans deliberated for more than four hours before finding Cardell Hayes guilty just after midnight Saturday in a retrial of the case from more than seven years ago. Hayes faces up to 40 years in prison.
A jury originally voted 10-2 to convict Hayes, but the decision was overturned when the Supreme Court outlawed nonunanimous verdicts. He was released on bond after serving more than four years of his 25-year sentence.
During closing arguments Friday, District Attorney Jason Williams argued that Hayes fired a gun recklessly after a traffic accident, hitting Smith seven times and Smith's wife once.
The defense claimed Hayes acted in self-defense.
