NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The Latest on a hearing for the man charged with second-degree murder in the April shooting death of former New Orleans Saints defensive end Will Smith (all times local):
10:40 a.m.
A judge has refused to remove the New Orleans district attorney's office from the prosecution of a man who is charged with second-degree murder in the death of former Saints defensive end Will Smith.
State Judge Camille Buras on Friday rejected arguments that District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro's office should be removed because Cannizzaro has shown personal animosity toward defense attorney John Fuller.
