re: Cardell Hayes attorney requests NOPD not handle investigation

Let it be known, lnch is the measurer of reaches

You said Will Smith has a longer rap sheet than the murderer, Hayes.

No, i said that Will Smith's rap sheep was just as long as Hayes.

quote:

Hayes, the 28-year-old charged with second-degree murder in Smith's death, was convicted only of non-domestic-related misdemeanors: one count of possession of drug paraphernalia and another count of illegal carrying of a weapon,

Like Hayes, Will Smith was once charged with a crime that, if convicted, would have prohibited him from owning a gun. In 2010 Smith was accused of misdemeanor domestic abuse battery involving his wife Racquel. A domestic violence conviction, even if a misdemeanor, bans a person from legally owning or carrying a gun. But Will Smith was never convicted: His charge was dismissed after he completed counseling and community service and at Racquel Smith's request.

They were each only arrested once. I'm not trying to troll you or win some stupid game in your made up mind. THESE ARE FACTS

That's 2 charges for Hayes and one on Will, oh wait there is that pesky 2nd murder charge also so that's three for Hayes one on will.

Although this is obvious speculation, this is the only possible scenario that Hays is justified.

Shirtless man and smith scuffle with Hayes

Mrs smith is able to retrieve gun

They don't even have to scuffle, maybe they just bowed up to one another somewhere between the two cars. Mrs. Smith then exits the vehicle with gun drawn or holding the gun.

Hayes shoots her

---

Witnesses Said they saw her outside the car on the ground shot in the legs. They heard the 2 distinct shots first. Smith could have then ran back to his car to grab his gun (if someone shoots my wife I am going to try and kill them no matter what). While Smith is reaching into his car with his feet on the ground Hayes shoots him knowing that he is going to come out firing because his wife was just shot. This could explain the timing between the 2 volleys of shots and why they knew the first 2 were directed at Mrs Smith.

At first I assumed Mrs Smith was caught in the crossfire and if that is the case Hayes would be convicted because you are responsible for every bullet that leaves your gun even if firing in self defense. Again, everything is speculation right now but there is no doubt this is going to be an intriguing trial.

If she had the gun outside of the vehicle then why would Smith be shot inside the vehicle in the back 7 times with feet outside the vehicle? Am i missing something about your theory?

Hayes got the weapon charge from the drug charge. It really is just one incident.

That's two charges on the rap sheet. Not one

OK, I missed this part of his lawyer's statement

This case doesn't sound as black and white as many folks want it to be. Doesn't mean the outcome won't be what those folks think it will be, but the route to get there isn't straight and narrow or doesn't sound to be.
