Vybz Kartel And Shawn Storm Latest Picture

The sentencing of Vybz Kartel and three other co-accused follows a 65-day trial, the longest in Jamaicanhistory. Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, was found guilty of killing Williams at his house in Havendale, a suburb north of Kingston, on 16 August 2011. Also guilty are Shawn Campbell and Kahira Jones, who were sentenced to serve a minimum of 25 years, and Andre St John, who can apply for parole after serving 15 yearsof a life sentence. A fifth defendant, Shane Williams, was found not guilty.

“As far as [Kartel] is concerned, we are not surprised about the sentence based on the posture of the judge at this stage,” one of Kartel’s lawyers, Christian Tavares-Finson, told the Jamaica Gleaner “We will be appealing both conviction and sentence on instructions from our clients. Kartel has maintained his innocence, and that he’s interested in appealing his conviction.”
