A day after his murder conviction in the Home Circuit Court  Vybz Kartel was visited by the mother of his three children, Tanesha Johnson, more widely known as just Shorty.

Shorty Tanesha Palmer spoke with the press Friday after visiting with Vybz Kartel behind bars.

“He said he got an unfair trial and that everybody who’s behind it knows that he got an unfair trial,” “He’s holding up. He said he left everything in God’s hands. He sends his love for his kids. He sent his love for his real supporters,” Shorty added.

Vybz Kartel and friends Shawn ‘Shawn Storm’ Campbell, Andre St John and Kahira Jones were convicted on Thursday of August 16, 2011 of the beating death of Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams over the disappearance of two illegal guns. /

Shane Williams was acquitted at the end of the five-month-long trial but later on it was discovered that he is to be charged in connection with another murder so he’ s still in custody.

On Friday, Shorty and her relatives who were at her home were of the view that Vybz Kartel had been set up. 

“I don’t think he got a fair trial either. I don’t think they had enough evidence to convict him,” said Cydionia Johnson, Vybz Kartel’s sister-in-law.

A few hours before, Teresa Palmer, Vybz Kartel’s mother, said from her Portmore home that her grandchildren — 10, nine and three yeas old — were expecting the release of their father.  Later, Tanesha Johnson said that the incarceration of Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, had been wearing on them, especially the 10-year-old.

“He has been taking it hard. He locks himself in his room. He prays a lot and he’s not talking much. They ask how their friends’ fathers are around them and they cannot live without their father,”

Johnson said that she tries to explain the situation to them as best she can.

Vybz Kartel and co-accused will know the sentenced on March 27.
