Smiley stabbed the man he fought with multiple times, and was convicted this summer by a jury of wounding with intent. When he appeared for sentencing last month, Justice Emma Peters found that while he had been provoked, his response was excessive. According to evidence presented to the court during the trial, Smiley believed that his wife, who was also at the party, was having an affair with another man. At some point during the fight, Smiley picked up a knife and stabbed the man several times in his shoulder, armpit, upper arm and chest. His eye, which had been previously damaged in an unrelated incident, was also injured in the fight, and he went on to lose his sight altogether in that eye.
