The man who fatally shot retired NFL star Will Smith after a car crash in 2016 has received a 25-year prison sentence following his January conviction on a manslaughter charge. Thursday's hearing in New Orleans marked the second time 36-year-old Cardell Hayes had faced sentencing in the killing. He was convicted of manslaughter in 2016 and later sentenced to 25 years. But the jury vote had been 10-2 and the conviction was later tossed after the Supreme Court outlawed such non-unanimous verdicts. Hayes was convicted by a unanimous jury in January, despite Hayes’ insistence that he had fired in self-defense, thinking that Smith had retrieved a gun from his SUV.
