Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The article contains a statement that suggests the prosecution is seeking justice for Will Smith.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The article does not provide any information about conflicts of interest.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • Ciolini said re-trials tend to favor the defense, and it may be very hard for New Orleans District Attorney Jason Williams to get all 12 jurors to agree to a guilty verdict. In criminal cases, typically, the defense would have an advantage because they have heard all of the state's evidence
  • The April 2016 crime shocked the city -- former New Orleans Saints Super Bowl Champion Will Smith, shot dead after an argument following a car crash in the Lower Garden District.
  • This is the second time it’s being tried and if this case hangs again, you could expect that Jason Williams' office is going to be forced into offering Cardell Hayes a pretty sweetheart deal

Cardell Hayes to face manslaughter retrial in Will Smith shooting case

Broke On: Tuesday, 23 January 2024 A manslaughter retrial for Cardell Hayes, who killed former Saints player Will Smith in a 2016 road rage shooting, will begin on Monday. The case hinges on whether Hayes acted in self-defense when he fired at Smith after a car crash. Evidence from the first trial showed that Smith was drunk but did not support Hayes' claim of being threatened by Smith with a weapon. Despite this, Hayes says he heard a pop and did not target Racquel Smith, who was injured in the shooting. The retrial is seen as a chance for justice by Will Smith's family.
