With TV, newspapers, radio talk shows and social media debating each gritty detail, Kartel says he cannot get a fair trial in Jamaica.
Following a 65-day trial, he was handed a life sentence. Acquitted in that case, Kartel was implicated in the August 2011 murder of Lizard, whose body has never been found. 29, 2011, following his arrest at a Kingston hotel for possession of marijuana, Kartel was charged within days with the July 2011 killing of promoter Barrington “Bossie” Burton. “I deffo think they’ll do extremely well in the game, or they can’t say ‘Addi a me daddy,'” offers Kartel, who has seven children, noting, “they’re all happy so I consider myself a real G that handles his business.” It caused me and my woman’s (Shorty) relationship to be destroyed as far as intimate love is concerned but we’re very cool and have never been in a better place,” Kartel commented two of Kartel and Shorty’s three children, Jaheim (Likkle Vybz) 17 and Akheel (Likkle Addi) 15, are pursuing music careers and make appearances on Of Dons and Divas. “Being in prison for the last nine years definitely took a toll on my family, my parents and especially my kids, early on.

Following the appeal denial, a release from Mr. The appeal hearing in Jamaica, just like the trial, was a joke, a kangaroo court, a circus.”
Law and statute are what the council deals in, not corruption. “I would like to say re the Privy Council that I am going to be out soon. Catherine Adult Correctional Facility in Spanish Town where he is serving a life sentence, eligible for parole in 2046, Vybz Kartel (born Adidja Azim Palmer), 44, in his first interview in nearly four years, condemned the Jamaican court system and welcomed the chance to have his appeal presented to the Privy Council. “Regardless of the outcome at the Court of Appeal, we are going before the Privy Council because the rules allow it we should be there by the end of 2020 or the beginning of 2021.”Ĭommenting from the St. “An important question we will put to the Privy Council is whether or not Kartel received a fair trial the judge was duty bound to ensure that his constitutional rights were protected, and that was not the case,” comments Isat Buchanan, lead attorney in Kartel’s appeal. Three days after the release Of Dons and Divas, on June 29, Kartel’s lawyers will return to Jamaica’s Court of Appeal and make a motion to have his case heard by the UK’s Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the final appellate court for Jamaica. The injustices expressed by Kartel throughout “Worldboss” align with his legal team’s opinion on his 2013/2014 trial, his murder conviction for the killing of associate Clive “Lizard” Williams and the April 3 denial of an appeal to overturn that decision, handed down almost two years after the July 2018 appeal hearing.
