Yesterday Jamaican star Vybz Kartel, real name Adidja Palmer, went to court again, and once again, his bail application couldn’t go through.
The result is that he will have to spend more time behind bars. Vybz Kartel was brought again down to Gun Court Division for answer of murder, conspiracy to murder and gun possession, but he was again remanded to custody since his lawyers, Tom and Chris Tavares Finson and Michael Deans, that also represents Shawn Storm , were forced to defer the bail application due to the lack of a witness statement.
Vybz Kartel will return to court the 26 of October. As for today they kept him in court for less than 3 minutes.
His lawyer told the press that his legal team couldn’t apply for the artist’s bail without first being served with a copy of the witness statement so before making the application for the bail they need to know what is contained in the statement the police is holding against Vybz Kartel.
There’s a document that Kartel‘s legal team couldn’t examine yet and that is vital to the fate of this case, but they can’t even establish if it exists so far.
“The defense went in court today expecting an indication as to whether or not the document that we have been hearing about, if it exists.
If it exists it must be served on the defense but that document was not served and there was no indication whether or not it exists”
as Vybz Kartel‘s lawyer put it.
Gaza fans & Kartel’s supporters gathered first outside the court, in the early am, and then moved outside The Half Way Tree police station holding Vybz Kartel‘s images and calling out for his release. Meanwhile his reality show “Teacha’s Pet”‘ 4th episode was aired last night on Jamaican national TV.
Shorty Palmer, Kartel‘s wife and baby’s mother, was very sad that World Boss didn’t yet obtain bail and she said she wasn’t feeling good, obviously,
” but at the end of the day good things come to those who wait and at the end of the day him affi get bail “she stated.
