Former Los Angeles and Oakland Raiders defensive end Anthony Smith was accused of murdering four men over the course of a decade, and he was convicted Thursday for three of those killings.

Smith, the Raiders' first-round pick (11th overall) in 1990, was convicted by a jury in Lancaster, Calif. of shooting and killing Kevin and Ricky Nettles in 1999, and stabbing Dennis Henderson to death in 2001, according to ABC 7 in Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Daily News. Smith was also accused of being responsible for the 2008 murder of Maurilio Ponce, but jurors deadlocked on that count and a mistrial for that shooting death was declared, ABC 7 said.

Jurors also found true special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and torture, ABC 7 said. Prosectutors will not be seeking the death penalty, however. Sentencing is set for Dec. 21, and there will be a hearing to see if Smith will be re-tried for the fourth murder charge.

According to ABC 7, the Nettles brothers — who were murdered less than two years after Smith's final NFL game — were found with their heads wrapped in duct tape. According to testimony at the preliminary hearing, Ricky Nettles' stomach was branded with "a burn in the shape of a clothing iron."

Smith played seven seasons for the Raiders, from 1991-97. He had 57.5 sacks in his NFL career.

A Raider from the 90s. Old shtick is old.

It's not the Raiders that are killing themselves in the parking lot of their stadium or causing trouble at the indoor waterpark in KC...

Yet more rings, HOF players, and a much more desirable city to live in than KC.

You guys just make this crap up. KC has had more players arrested since 2000 than Oakland. In fact, Oakland has had less arrests than most of the teams in the league in that time frame.

You believe Oakland is a more desirable city to live in than KC? You're nuts. Oakland is a complete shit hole.

Maybe he's in a gang. If you're in a gang, Oakland's post -apocalyptic look and feel is probably quite desirable.

What do you mean, "maybe"?

He was actually a pretty decent pass rusher for them.

Better pick than Percy Snow
