Cardell Hayes' bid for a new trial over the killing of former Saints star Will Smith will include seeking an appellate court's review of a fake subpoena used in the case by District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro's office, according to a new court filing by his appeals attorney.
Among a list of 13 items that attorney Paul Barker wants sent to the Louisiana 4th Circuit Court of Appeal by Criminal District Judge Camille Buras' court is a copy of the so-called "DA's subpoena" sent to Hayes' girlfriend, Tiffany Lacroix. Barker also wants the transcript of a pretrial hearing that addressed the subpoena.
