NEW ORLEANS -- A judge in New Orleans postponed until Friday a hearing on whether the New Orleans district attorneys office should be barred from prosecuting the man charged in the shooting death of retired Saints defensive end Will Smith.Cardell Hayes is charged with second-degree murder. Defense attorney John Fuller says District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro and his staff should be kicked off the case because he has made baseless accusations of wrongdoing against Fuller.Judge Camille Buras was scheduled to hear the arguments on Wednesday. However, she agreed to a postponement for two days after Fuller said he has more information to file to back up his motion.Hayes is set for trial Sept. 20. Prosecutors say he provoked an April 9 confrontation by ramming his SUV into one driven by Smith -- after Smith had earlier bumped the rear of Hayes vehicle.The defense attorney has argued that Smith was the aggressor and that Hayes fired in self-defense after Smith went to his own car to get his gun.The motion to remove Cannizzaro was made last week following a story in Nola.comThe Times-Picayune on a 206-page report Cannizzaro sent to local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. In the report, Cannizzaro alleges that Fuller and others sought to intimidate witnesses and jeopardized the safety of witnesses in cases unrelated to Smiths death.The report, which has not been made public, also alleges that Fuller is under federal investigation. The local U.S. attorney declined comment.Hayes is also accused of attempted murder in the wounding of Smiths wife, who was shot in the legs.Cheap Nike Shoes Online .

He has been out since a surgical procedure in September, with the Blue Devils willing to bring him along at a conservative pace.Coach Mike Krzyzewski said mid-December was a logical time to consider that Giles might be ready for game action.Duke (10-1) has won eight games in a row but hasnt played since demolishing UNLV 94-55 on Dec. 10.Junior guard Grayson Allen scored a career-high 34 points in the game against UNLV, a rather premature outburst in some respects because he has been dealing with an array of ailments.I think over the exam period is a time where, and then maybe Christmas, where we can get him closer to 100 percent and then hopefully work these guys in a little bit, Krzyzewski said.Freshman Jayson Tatum has averaged 15 points and seven rebounds in the three games he has played for the Blue Devils since a preseason foot injury.

Everything is first class. Theyre champions. You dont even have to know people inside the program to tell what you are dealing with.Tennessee State is off to an 8-2 start for the second season in a row. However, the Tigers are winless in nine previous meetings against teams in the ACC.That includes a 67-55 overtime loss on Dec. 10 at North Carolina State. Since then, the Tigers whipped Alabama State 68-46, allowing only 13 first-half points.This will be the first meeting between Tennessee State and Duke. The Tigers are 1-33 all time against Top 25 opponents in Division I.Well try to put together the best game plan available to give our guys the best chance to go out there and win the next game, Ford said. We are just very appreciative, our entire university, our program and our alums, that we are going to have the opportunity to play at Cameron Indoor Stadium against a first-class program. ' ' '
