Vybz Kartel, born Adidja Palmer, was charged for Burton’s murder along with Nigel Thompson and Lenburgh McDonald.
Last week Senior Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Jeremy Taylor told a judge that Vybz Kartel attempted to bribe the witness in the case with $3 million.
Taylor also accused the former Portmore Empire boss of being the mastermind behind an underground criminal enterprise that trade illegal guns.
