A bond hearing was scheduled Thursday, March 18, for Hayes, the man who fatally shot ex-NFL star Will Smith in New Orleans in 2016 following a confrontation over a traffic crash. Hayes was sentenced to 25 years in prison for a manslaughter conviction in Smith’s shooting and attempted manslaughter for wounding Smith’s wife. But the verdict from the jury was not unanimous — jurors voted 10-2 — and has since been ruled unconstitutional. (Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office via AP) **FILE**
