In the after math of VYBZ KARTEL GUITLY VERDICT and while awaiting for the sentence on MARCH 27, a lot of People, ALL OVER THE WORLD, are still VEXING and NOT ACCEPTING or BELIEVING THE VERDICT.
WHY?!!! BECAUSE OF TOO MANY SHADOWS, UNANSWERED QUESTIONS, CORRUPTED EVIDENCE & MUCH MORE.
KARTEL NEEDS A NEW TRIAL. A FAIR ONE. IS WITH THIS SPIRIT THAN A KARTEL’S FAN WROTE TO DPP HIGHLIGHTING HOLES IN EVIDENCE AND POINTING OUT A LOT OF THINGS THAT JUST DON ‘T ADD UP.
I am writing to you in regards to the Vybz Kartel murder trial.Not being in attendance at the trial (supposedly the longest murder trial in Jamaica’s history), I had to rely on media reports and unless much has been “lost in translation”, I do not think that based on the evidence presented a jury could have met for approximately 2 hours to examine the offerings presented in a 65 day trial (judge Lennox Campbell spent all of 6 days to do his summary).
Clearly jurors had long decided that the “WORLD BOSS” and his co-accused had to be sent away and they were not going to objectively examine the evidence presented.
I guess they were exercising their “common sense” as urged by judge Campbell – Jurors are not members of the court, or public opinion they are sitting in the court of law, the Supreme Court to be exact and the evidence presented must be beyond reasonable doubt to result in a conviction.
The police had also used Mr. Palmer’s phone while it was in their possession, an action which I suspect would have resulted in the collapse of the crown’s case in other jurisdictions.
A particular concern must also be the conduct of the presiding judge.
He did not come across as an impartial arbitrator but probably demonstrated bias towards the prosecution. he for example repeatedly refused to include timestamps of audio and video evidence during his summary.
I am not a fan of dancehall or a lawyer and i do believe that if you do the crime you should pay the penalty, that’s just it. I will say this though, the Jamaican system is known for its lackadaisical traits and cover up.
