NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans District Attorney should not be allowed to prosecute the man accused of killing retired Saints star Will Smith, his defense attorneys say, citing a report by the prosecutor that accuses them of witness tampering and other wrongdoing.Attorney John Fuller and his associate, Gregory Carter, asked the trial judge in a motion filed Thursday to remove Leon Cannizzaro and his staff from the murder case against Cardell Hayes, citing the baseless and inflammatory accusations in a 206-page report Cannizzaro sent to local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.Nola.comThe Times-Picayune reported that the document alleges that Fuller, Carter and another associate sought to intimidate witnesses and jeopardized the safety of witnesses in cases unrelated to Smiths death. The D.A.s report, which has not been made public, also alleges they are under federal investigation.These public accusations, without formal charging, demonstrate District Attorney Cannizzaros personal animosity toward John T. Fuller and Associates, the defense motion states.In response, state District Judge Camille Buras delayed an otherwise routine evidence hearing and scheduled arguments on the motion for July 20.Cannizzaros office had not filed a response in the court record by Thursday afternoon and did not immediately respond to questions from The Associated Press. The U.S. Attorneys Office declined comment, as is routine when asked whether it is investigating individuals.Prosecutor Jason Napoli has said the evidence shows Hayes provoked the April 9 confrontation by intentionally ramming Smiths SUV -- after Smith had earlier bumped Hayess Hummer -- and then threatening the unarmed man with a loaded .45-caliber handgun.Fuller countered that Hayes fired in self-defense, fearing for his life after Smith struck him several times and went to get his gun, too.A detective testified he saw no evidence Hayes had been injured. Police also said they found Smiths 9 mm handgun, loaded but not fired, inside the SUV.Hayes, also faces attempted murder for the wounding of Smiths wife, who was shot in the legs. Trial is scheduled trial for Sept. 20. Chidobe Awuzie Jersey .ca NFL Power Rankings, overtaking the Denver Broncos and remaining ahead of NFC competition San Francisco, Carolina and New Orleans.

BUDAPEST, Hungary -- The FIA has issued a clarification of what is allowed under the team radio restrictions following Nico Rosbergs penalty at the British Grand Prix.Rosberg and Mercedes were penalised after he was informed of how to work around a gearbox issue towards the end of the race. Extensive restrictions on team radio were introduced this year to enforce Article 27.1 of the Sporting Regulations, which states drivers must drive the car alone and unaided, and Mercedes message was deemed to be in breach.Rosbergs penalty reignited the debate over what should and should not be allowed under the radio restrictions, leading the FIA to release a further technical directive to the teams listing what is not allowed to be said.Significantly, point two on the list (see below) requires an indication of a problem on the car to also include an irreversible instruction to enter the pits. As a result, a problem such as Rosbergs would require a pit stop if the team decided to inform the driver of the issue. Under the revised radio restrictions, the team could then talk the driver through the problem once he is in the pit lane.The full list of banned messages can be found below :Driver aids in 2016: Stricter enforcement of Article 27.1 A. Restrictions on team-to-driver communications applicable with immediate effect These restrictions will apply: - To all communications to the driver including, but not limited to, radio and pit boards. - At all times the car is out of the pit lane with the engine running and the driver on board (with the exception of the slowing down lap once the driver has crossed the Line at the end of the race). The following is a list of the permitted messages. Any other message, including any of those below which we suspect has been used as a coded message for a different purpose (including a prompt to a driver), is likely to be considered a breach of Article 27.1 of the Sporting Regulations and will be reported to the stewards accordingly. 1. Acknowledgement that a drivers message has been heard, this may include repeating the message back to the driver for the sole purpose of confirmation. 2. Indication of a problem with the car, any message of this sort must include an irreversible instruction to enter the pits to rectify the problem or to retire the car. 3. Information concerning damage to the bodywork of the car. 4. Instructions to select driver defaults, this must be for the sole purpose of mitigating loss of function of a sensor, actuator or controller whose degradation or failure was not detected and handled by the on-board software. It will be the responsibility of any team giving any such instruction to satisfy the FIA technical delegate that this was the casse and that any new setting chosen in this way did not enhance the performance of the car beyond that prior to the loss of function (see Article 8.dddddddddddd.4 of the Technical Regulations). 5. Indication of a problem with a competitors car. 6. Marshalling information (yellow flag, red flag, blue flag, safety car, virtual safety car, race start aborted or other similar instructions or information from race control). This would include a reminder to switch off the SC delta time function after crossing the first safety car line twice from the time the SC was deployed. 7. Passing on messages from race control (this would include a countdown to the start of the formation lap and telling a driver that the last car has taken up position on the grid at the end of the formation lap). 8. Wet track, oil or debris in certain corners. 9. Weather information. 10. Information concerning the drivers own lap time or sector times. 11. Lap time of a competitor. 12. Helping with warning of traffic and gaps to other competitors during a practice session or race. 13. Instructions to swap position with other drivers. 14. Number of laps or time remaining during a practice session or race. 15. Position during a practice session or race. 16. Push hard, push now, you will be racing xx, take it easy or similar (you are reminded about suspected use of coded messages when giving these messages or any words of encouragement). 17. When to enter the pits (or go to the grid during reconnaissance laps), any message of this sort may only be used if the driver is to enter the pits on that lap. Having been told when to enter the pits drivers may also be told to stay out if there has been a change of circumstances. Drivers may also be told what to do once they have entered the pits, e.g. drive through, stop in the box, practice pit stop, into the garage or similar information related to the pit stop. 18. The drivers own race pit stop strategy as well as those of his competitors, this is limited to the timing of pit stops and which tyres will be (or have been) used. For the avoidance of doubt, no car or power unit set up may be included in any such strategy discussion. 19. Reminders to use the pit speed limiter, change tyre settings to match the tyres fitted to the car or to check for white lines, bollards, weighbridge lights when entering or leaving the pits. 20. Driving breaches by team driver or competitor, e.g. missing chicanes, running off track, time penalty will be applied etc. 21. Notification that DRS is enabled or disabled. 22. Dealing with a DRS system failure. 23. Oil transfer. ' ' '
