- Former Saints star was killed during 2016 confrontation
- Cardell Hayes says he acted in self-defense during shooting
A retrial was set to begin Monday for the man who fatally shot former New Orleans Saints star Will Smith almost eight years ago.
Cardell Hayes, 36, has long insisted he shot Smith in self-defense during an April 2016 confrontation after a car crash. Smith died and his wife, Racquel Smith, was wounded by gunfire.
