A jury found Cardell Hayes guilty of manslaughter on Sunday night in New Orleans, hours after the prosecution and the defense completed their closing arguments and the jury began deliberations. Hayes was accused of fatally shooting former New Orleans Saints star Will Smith in an alleged road rage incident. Smith, 34, died after an altercation with Hayes in New Orleans on April 9. He was found dead in his Mercedes SUV with the driver's door open, slumped over the driver's seat, according to The Associated Press. Hayes can receive a possible sentence of up to 40 years in prison at his sentencing on Feb. 17, the Associated Press reported. Jurors opted for the lesser charge of manslaughter rather than the second-degree murder charge he faced, which would have carried a mandatory life sentence. Posted By Persist
