Every good music lover should know Vybz Cartel...he is a Jamaican dancehall superstar that rocked the music airwaves from as far back as 2004.
He has been found guilty in a Murder case.
Kartel, 38, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, had been in custody since September 2011 and went on trial on November 20. He was charged with the murder of 27-year-old Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams. Prosecutors had alleged Clive Williams was beaten to death at Kartel's home in August 2011 after being lured there to answer for two missing illegal guns. His body has never been found.
Police testified they retrieved a text message from Kartel's phone saying Williams was chopped up in a "mincemeat" so fine that his remains would never be found.
The 11-member jury handed down its verdict less than two hours after deliberations began. Also found guilty were Kartel’s associates, Shawn Campbell (a.k.a. Shawn Storm), Kahira Jones and Andre St. John; a fourth associate, Shane Williams, received the sole non-guilty verdict.
The sentencing date is March 27th 2014. his lawyers have since stated that they will appeal the verdict.Riots have broken out in the streets of jamaica ever since the verdict was read.
