Former Raiders Defensive Faces Life Without Parole
November 12, 2015
Former Raiders defensive end Anthony Wayne Smith was convicted on November 5 of the murders of three people, but a mistrial was declared on a fourth charge stemming from the 2008 shooting death of another man. Smith, 48, was convicted of the Nov. 10, 1999, shooting deaths of Kevin and Ricky Nettles, and the June 25, 2001, stabbing death of Dennis Henderson. Jurors deadlocked over the Oct. 7, 2008, shooting death of Maurilio Ponce, so a mistrial was declared. Jurors also found true special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and torture, but prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty. Sentencing
