Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has announced new charges against a convicted Detroit hitman, alleging he conspired with another inmate to provide false testimony for the inmate to get a new trial.

According to the AG's office, Vincent Smothers, 44, conspired with Shannon Anderson to provide the false testimony.

Anderson was convicted of second-degree murder in a 2007 shooting at a beauty salon in Eastpointe, where he shot two men, killing one of them.

It's alleged that Smothers and Anderson conspired to provide false testimony to a court in order to bolster Anderson's claims that the shooting was in self-defense.

Smothers, a well-known Detroit hitman, is serving 52-100 years in prison after pleading guilty to eight murders. He pleaded guilty in 2010.
