Following the death of Will Smith, we previously reported that Cardell Hayes Found Guilty Of Manslaughter of Will Smith.

Five years after Cardell Hayes received a sentence of 25 years in prison for manslaughter and 15 years for attempted murder is now claiming it was in self defense.

The 34-year-old Hayes was charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder and later convicted of the lesser charge of manslaughter and attempted manslaughter by a split jury vote of 10-2.

Hayes is now set to undergo a new trial.

Here’s more from NOLA.com:

Hayes was convicted in December, 2016, of manslaughter and attempted manslaughter by a non-unanimous jury eight months after Smith was killed. But the U.S. Supreme Court overturned his convictions last July, after the higher court found non-unanimous jury verdicts unconstitutional.

Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Judge Camille Buras on Monday set the date for Hayes’ retrial after a pretrial conference with Hayes’ attorney, John Fuller, and prosecutors with the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office.

A pre-trial conference is reportedly scheduled for June 23.

Wow, are you kidding?
