Vybz Kartel’s Legal Saga Continues After King Charles Approves Murder Conviction Quashal

FOX 5 New York’s Lisa Evers provides insights into what may follow after King Charles approved the decision of the UK Privy Council to revoke murder convictions against dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel and three other individuals. Sources confirm that Jamaica must compensate all court costs incurred by the four men, who have been imprisoned since their arrests for Clive “Lizard” Williams’ disappearance in 2011. However, despite this victory, doubts persist about whether they will be freed immediately as the Privy Council sent back the case to Jamaica’s Court of Appeals. The four men were convicted during a trial that lasted over two years and involved allegations of bribery among jurors, which did not result in their acquittal at the time. Kartel’s attorney Isat Buchanan revealed on camera with Lisa Evers that the Court of Appeal has scheduled hearings from June 10 to June 14 to determine whether they will be released or face a new trial. This decision, according to legal analyst Robin Nunn, raises serious questions about how Jamaica’s lower courts handled these convictions involving Vybz Kartel and his co-defendants. FOX 5 New York continues to provide exclusive coverage as this case progresses towards its conclusion; stay tuned for further updates.
