After several days of rescheduling and delays for a range of different reasons Vybz Kartel’s trial, for the alleged murder of Barrington ‘Bossy’ Burton, started today.
The Home Circuit court finally selected 12 jurors,this past Friday, and Justice Bryan Sykes also did lay down the rules for the case.
The judge told the 12 jurors not to research any aspect of the case and disregard any previous information they might have about the case while Adidja Palmer played not guilty last week.
“What you read and heard largely consist of inaccurate information,” Justice Sykes said.
Any juror found in contempt of court orders could face stiff punishment.
The judge also ordered lawyers representing both the prosecution and the defense not to speak to the media until the trial is concluded.
