Dancehall artiste, Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer is expected to know if he will continue to serve his life sentence or walk free tomorrow (April 3rd) as Jamaica’s Court of Appeal will deliver its judgment in his murder case.

Kartel and his co-accused have been waiting for about 20 months on the ruling following their three-week appeal hearing in July 2018.

The Dancehall artiste, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, and co-accused Shawn ‘Shawn Storm’ Campbell,  Kahira Jones, and Andre St John were convicted in 2014 for the 2011 murder of Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams.

According to Bert Samuels, who is representing one of Kartel’s co-accused, Shawn ‘Shawn Storm’ Campbell,

“At 9:30 tomorrow morning, all the attorneys will receive the judgement on their phones,” he told The Jamaica Gleaner.
