Smith, who the Raiders will reportedly release, will be sentenced to one year in jail and three years of probation as part of his plea agreement.

When you look at the injuries suffered by the now Ex-Boyfriend, you have to think Smith got off light. When Raiders got wind of him taking a plea deal, they released him.
Two witnesses testified they saw a man they identified as Smith stomp the head of Christopher Woods as he lay bleeding and unconscious near the corner of Colorado Boulevard and Arroyo Parkway.
Woods, a social worker in Atlanta, testified he recalled walking on the street, then his next memory was waking up at Huntington Hospital. Doctors inserted a metal plate and screws underneath his right eye and conducted reconstructive surgery on his left eye socket to repair five facial fractures.
Woods also tore his left anterior cruciate ligament, suffers from blurry vision and believes his injuries will require more surgery.
Alicia Brown, a cousin of Smith, testified she, Woods and his then-girlfriend, Rayna Smith, spent the day drinking vodka, then joined Sean Smith in Old Town Pasadena for tequila shots. Rayna Smith became combative, Brown testified, and her brother tried to calm her not long before the alleged assault.
Smith had just signed a four year-$40 million deal with Raiders in 2016, but NFL contracts aren’t guaranteed, so the Raiders don’t owe him anything.
If convicted he would have looked at seven years in jail.
