Vybz Kartel, released from prison

In a significant development, the Court of Appeal has ruled against retrying Jamaican DJ, Vybz Kartel and his co-accused for the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams.

The judgment was delivered by a three-judge panel consisting of Justices Marva McDonald-Bishop, Paulette Williams, and David Fraser.

Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, along with Shawn “Shawn Storm” Campbell, Kahira Jones, and Andre St John, were initially convicted of Williams’ September 2011 murder.

Although their appeal to the local Court of Appeal in 2020 was unsuccessful, the UK-based Privy Council later overturned their convictions on March 14, 2024, citing juror misconduct.

The case was then sent back to the Jamaica Court of Appeal to determine whether a retrial was warranted.

Today’s ruling brings an end to the legal proceedings, setting the four men free.”
