Vybz Kartel’s defence team may have significantly damaged the prosecution’s case following the revelation of new cell phone evidence in his appeal case.
According to the deejay’s attorneys, cell phone evidence shows that the alleged murder victim, Clive “Lizard” Williams, was actually in St Catherine at the time of his supposed killing.
On Monday the defence team scored a significant victory as a panel of judges approved an application for three pieces of fresh evidence to be heard in the entertainer’s appeal trial.
The new evidence, which also includes a written statement from the prosecution’s star witness reveal several contradictions with his testimony.
Vybz Kartel In Good Spirits, Anxious About Appeal
Kartel’s lawyer’s pointed out that the witness claimed he arrived at a house in Havendale at 8 p.m. on the day of the murder in August 2011. However, he told the court in his sworn testimony that he arrived sometime between 5 and 5:30 p.m.
The appeal case is scheduled to continue on Monday, July 16 where attorneys will argue on behalf of their respective clients.
In 2014 Vybz Kartel, and his three co-accused Shawn Campbell, Kahira Jones, and Andre St John were convicted for the 2011 murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams. The victim’s body was never found.
