Another former NFL player, Joe McKnight, was shot and killed in Nawlins this past week. Road rage incident again. Killer then remained in his car until the Sheriff arrived, admitted to the crime, booked and set free within nine hours.

Guilty. Still just so damn sad.

Yes it is sad. Don't even know what to feel about this guy. A huge part of me wants to hope he rots in Hell and gets gang-raped daily in prison by Saints fans, but, you just never know what went on that night. Media sensationalizes everything, I actually heard a report that Mr. Hayes cried when he realized it was Will that he killed. Two things are certain, a GREAT Buckeye was taken away from us way too soon, and a young guy that none of us know anything about has thrown his life away, basically, over nothing.

Peace

Man who killed Saints' Will Smith gets 25-year prison sentence​

The man who fatally shot retired New Orleans Saints star Will Smith during a confrontation following a car crash in 2016 received a 25-year prison sentence Thursday in a New Orleans courtroom.

It was the second time Cardell Hayes, 36, had faced sentencing in Smith's death. He was convicted of manslaughter in December 2016 and later sentenced to 25 years. But the jury vote had been 10-2 and the conviction was later tossed after the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed such nonunanimous verdicts.

Hayes was released on bond after having served more than four years of the original sentence. He remained free during multiple retrial delays, some due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But he was taken back into custody following the unanimous Jan. 27 verdict and had been awaiting sentencing at the New Orleans jail.
