Internationally acclaimed Dancehall superstar, Adidja Palmer, more popularly known as Vybz Kartel will report to court next month for the beginning of his ganja trial.
The
prominent deejay faces a May 22 court date in the matter, which will be
resumed after a three month delay. The new trial date was scheduled
earlier this week in the absence of Kartel, who was not brought to the
Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on the day of the hearing.
Presiding
resident magistrate, Maxine Ellis ruled that a writ must be issued for
Kartel’s release from a Spanish Town based jail where he’s currently
being kept in order to ensure that he makes the May court date.
Kartel has
been incarcerated since last September when he was initially arrested
at a New Kingston hotel following a major police operation in which they
discovered a quantity of marijuana. Kartel, amongst others were then
charged with illegal possession of marijuana
Meanwhile,
Kartel will appear in court on Friday as he once again seeks bail in
the Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams murder case. On Monday, the Crown handed
over audio and video evidence they believe will implicate Kartel and his
co-accused, including Portmore Empire protégé, Shawn Storm and
designer/road manager, Calvin ‘Moonie’ Haye.
Law
enforcement officials allege that Kartel and other took Williams to a
residence in Havendale, St. Andrew where he was later beaten and stabbed
to death after an argument regarding the disappearance of illegal guns.
