Latest News On Vybz Kartel’s Court Case: Still Waiting To Get Leave For Privy Council

World Boss Vybz Kartel, real name Adidja Palmer, and co-accused Shawn ‘Shawn Storm’ Campbell, Kahira Jones and Andre St John, are still waiting to get leave from the Court of Appeal in Jamaica, so to have their case heard before the Privy Council in the United Kingdom.

This has been the plan since their original appeal was denied in April, for the murder case of Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams.

Jamaican attorney Bert Samuels, who represents  Shawn Campbell, remarked and called “incestuous”this relationship, which sees him going to the very same court for leave to take the matter to a higher court.

“I am asking you permission to appeal against you,” he explained.
“The accused men’s right to a fair trial was breached when the case was allowed to continue on the advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions Paula Llewellyn, despite a poison jury,” Samuels said.

The attorney told to the Jamaican press  “We want leave on everything. We want permission to appeal on all points.”

Samuels insisted that with or without permission from the local Court of Appeal, the case will reach the Privy Council in England.

“If they refuse, it isn’t the end-all and and be-all. You can apply for what is called special leave. All you have to do is convince them [Privy Council] of the rightness of your case,” he added.

Samuels told the press and he and his team has already  been in contact with their legal representatives overseas.

“We have had about five Zoom conferences with the British lawyers and they are ready,” Samuels said.

Six weeks ago, lawyers Isat Buchanan, representing Kartel; John Clarke, representing Jones and St John; and Bert and Bianca Samuels filed an official application on the men’s behalf to get leave to go to the Privy Council with the matter.

It was heard by the local Court of Appeal on the week of Monday, June 29 by video link., Senior Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Jeremy Taylor opposed the application, arguing that there are no constitutional issues, therefore, the application should be rejected.

Gaza fans are even appealing to Kim Kardashians, asking her to help Addi’s case.

Even while behind bars Kartel’s popularity does not know a stop. He recently released a sling of new songs, endorsing new females acts like in the latest ‘Sometimes Love Dies’, featuring Renee 6:30 that came out with the music video, watch it below, as well as the official music video with Tashina for the bedroom’s song ‘Best **** Ever’ posted with the music video below, and he launched his daughter ‘s music label Adianna Music releasing the first single titled “Vybz Kartel – Play Our Song”.

That is not all becuase while still incarcerated and waiting to bring his appeal to UK Vybz Kartel, real name Adidja Palmer, called out, and rightfully so, Jamaican dancehall artists like Shenseea, Stylo G, Spice and Teejay for releasing dubplates in favor of politicians.

Jamaican elections, scheduled for the begging of September, are incoming and while some politician go door to door to campaign, some others pay entertainers to record dublates in their favor.

The same politicians that banned dancehall songs and artists from the airwaves or accused the artists to be the cause of crime in Jamaica are now using dubplates to win their electors sympathies. Vybz Kartel, The Teacha, once again schooled all of them writing on his IG

“Dancehall burn politics, now artistes doing dubs fi dem.smfh..me stop do conscious song bout ya.. a bay gun lyrics !! cause unuh beyond learning tpc!”
