World Boss Vybz Kartel and co-accused faced today their 13th day in trial at the Home Circuit Court in downtown Kingston.
Yesterday Kartel’s trial was adjourned early due to lack of witnesses to take the stand and a large crowd gathering outside the court.
Justice Lennox Campbell granted the attorneys time to meet with a telecommunication expert from Digicel.

The meeting was initially scheduled for Monday, but was delayed because the lawyers were told the system was down for maintenance. The judge also requested that the Director of Public Prosecution, DPP, got involved to ensure these persons make themselves available.There is also a handwriting analysis being done on a letter the prosecution star witness allegedly sent to Public Defender Earl Witter.
This morning,Sharon Bryson, a government forensic scientist, gave her testimony in court.
She told the court that the blood stain found at Vybz Kartel’s house in Havendale did not match the DNA from a uncle of the victim. As a result, she cannot confirmed if it was CliveWilliams’ blood. Bryson said that a swab was taken from a man supposed to be Williams’ uncle but the DNA samples did not match.
Under cross-examination by defence attorney Tom Tavares-Finson Bryson said that if it was said by the police that William’s blood was found at the Kartel’s house that information would not have come from her.
