Son's Plea Denied in Retrial Hearing
Breaking News
In a groundbreaking legal development, Jamaican dancehall artist Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, has been freed after serving 13 years in prison. The Court of Appeal in Jamaica has ruled against a retrial for Palmer, citing concerns about the prosecution's case.
The decision follows a retrial hearing in which the prosecution argued for a new trial. However, the court determined that there was not sufficient evidence to warrant a retrial and dismissed the prosecution's request.
Palmer was initially convicted of murder in 2014 and sentenced to life imprisonment. His son's plea for leniency during the retrial hearing was dismissed by the judge.
Residents of Waterford in Portmore, St Catherine, where Palmer hails from, have expressed joy and relief at his release. The court's decision marks a significant turning point in the long-running legal saga involving the dancehall star.
