Cardell Hayes is claiming self-defense, but it will be a hard case to prove considering he shot Will Smith in the back, not once, but 7 times.
Here are the breakdown of the wounds from the Coroner.
“These bullet tracks had entrance into the left upper back (1), left mid-back (2), left lower back (3), and left lateral chest wall (1). Many of these bullets perforated vital organs, including the lungs and heart. One of these wounds was a perforating wound, with both an entrance and an exit wound. This bullet entered the left upper back, traversed soft tissue, and exited from the right shoulder area,” the coroner’s statement said.
Hayes was arrested for 2nd degree murder, but his not been officially charged in the case.
