Here’s Everything We Know About Vybz Kartel’s Appeal Trial Set For Next Week

The long-awaited appeal trial for incarcerated Dancehall artist Vybz Kartel and his co-accused is set to begin next Monday, July 9.

The “Highest Level” deejay’s appeal case is set to finally begin in the Jamaica Court of Appeal next week, four years after his attorneys filed the motion.

According to the deejay’s legal team, they are highly confident they can overturn the entertainer’s current life sentence for the 2011 murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams as the trial was marred by several irregularities.
