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. Colton Parayko Jersey . Parker had 26 points and eight assists and San Antonio beat Toronto 112-99 Monday night.

Alex Pietrangelo Jersey .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. Garry Unger Jersey . -- Adam Snyder returned to the San Francisco 49ers this season because the offensive lineman thought it was his best opportunity to win a championship. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos won the Super Bowl in an unorthodox manner and theyre out to defend that title in an unconventional way as well.In this age of the high-powered passing games, they won it all with a devastating defense. Theyll try to do it again with a throwback offense that features an old-fashioned fullback and a QB that shield the ball as well as he slings it.Our room is a big, big, big part of what we want to do, running back C.J. Anderson said Saturday. No matter whos back there, its on us to get this offense to go.When Peyton Manning retired, coach Gary Kubiak reinstalled his version of the West Coast offense that blends roll-outs, bootlegs, play-action passes and plenty of handoffs.General manager John Elway drafted Utah running back Devontae Booker and Nebraska fullback Andy Janovich to help an offense that will be led by Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian or Paxton Lynch, who are involved in a rare three-way training camp audition.The uncertainly can curtail the receivers rhythm early on, but all this isnt to say that Pro Bowlers Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders are taking a back seat in 2016.Kubiaks offense was at its zenith in the late 1990s, when fullback Howard Griffith cleared the way for Terrell Davis to gain 1,750 and 2,008 yards in 1997-98. But both of those seasons also featured a pair of 1,000-yard receivers.Were going to be physical from the start and I think putting a fullback in the offense helps out with that a lot, Anderson said. We can get more 21 personnel (base formations) and then we can get in a lot of different matchups and hopefully we can get eight men in the box.That would oppen up things for Sanders and Thomas, Anderson said.ddddddddddddThey get 1-on-1 coverage, that safety has to choose one and the balls going to go the other way, Anderson said. So, I think the philosophy is great. Its just up to us to execute it.To that end, Anderson is in tip-top shape.After signing a four-year, $18 million contract this spring, Anderson, who had weight issues early in his career, reported at about 217 pounds as he seeks to start 16 games and topple the 1,000-yard barrier for the first time.Anderson has only run behind one fullback in his NFL career, James Casey, who was released a month into the 2015 season as the Broncos realized they had to alter their approach for Manning.Anderson likes what the fullback brings to the mix, recalling some of the best ground games of his youth.The Cowboys did it with Emmitt Smith and Daryl Johnson, (LaDainian Tomlinson) had Lorenzo Neal. Of course, T.D. had a fullback here. Even Warrick Dunn had Mike Alstott, Anderson said. And all those offenses won big.Were getting back to the ground and pound: Run game and play defense, Anderson said. But dont be surprised, we will put the ball in the air because we have playmakers on the outside.Game notes Kubiak said MRIs were encouraging on NTs Sylvester Williams (shoulder) and Phil Taylor (knee) and both are expected back in action this weekend.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton ' ' '
