TL;DR Summary

Cardell Hayes is set to begin a retrial for the fatal shooting of retired New Orleans Saints star Will Smith almost eight years ago, after a 2016 confrontation following a car crash. Hayes, who has claimed self-defense, was previously convicted of manslaughter and attempted manslaughter, but the conviction was reversed due to a non-unanimous jury vote. The retrial has been delayed multiple times, and Hayes, a former semi-pro football player and father, is now facing a new trial on a manslaughter charge.
