Cardell Hayes was officially charged with 2nd degree murder of Former Saints player, Will Smith, after a grand jury felt there was sufficient evidence to proceed to a trial. Shortly after, Hayes entered a not guilty plea.

Hayes has maintained from the start that the shooting was in self defense as he feared for his life because Smith was going to get a gun. The grand jury didn’t agree so much with his view of things.

Hayes was indicted for 2nd degree murder, attempted 2nd degree murder (for Smith’s wife), aggravated assault with a firearm and aggravated criminal damage to a vehicle.

As a result of the indictment, Hayes’ bond was raised to $1.75 MILLION. He is still being held behind bars and faces life in prison if convicted.
