KINGSTON, Jamaica, Monday March 27, 2017 – After serving three years of their life sentences, Vybz Kartel and his co-convicts are set to make an all-out bid for their freedom in another six months.
An Appeal Court judge recently gave the green light for the convicted murderers to launch their appeal.
Kartel, born Adidja Palmer, Shawn “Storm” Campbell, Andre St John, and Kahira Jones, were all convicted on March 13, 2014 of Clive “Lizard” Williams on August 16, 2011.
Thomas Tavares-Finson, attorney for Kartel, described the development as an “important step in the appeal process”.
