Vybz Kartel and his co-accused are back in the Home Circuit court in Kingston today to continue their murder trial.
Trial, which is now in its third and final week, saw some major developments last week after the prosecution introduced their star witness Lamar Chow.
DETAILS: Vybz Kartel Trial: Key Witness Admit To Lying, Testimony Crumbling
The defense attorneys will continue to cross-exam the witness in court today.
Vybz Kartel, born Adidja Palmer, along with protege Shawn “Storm” Campbell, Kahira Jones, André St John, and Shane Williams are all charged with the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams.
Chow testified that he saw the whole thing played out on August 16, 2011 at a house in Havendale.
Authorities say Williams was beaten to death over a missing firearm.
The trial was originally scheduled to run until Friday, December 6.
Update:
Lamar Chow told defense attorney Tamika Harris that he is not afraid of Vybz Kartel but rather his friends that he has around him.
Tamika Harris is the lawyer representing Andre St John in the trial.
Update:
Like previous attorneys, Tamika Harris also accused the prosecution star witness of fabricating the story to avoid a gun charge.
She pressed the witness to come clean about his story, however, he hold firm saying he is telling the truth.
Update:
Public Defender Earl Witter handed over a letter he allegedly received from the prosecution key witness in November 2011.

Vybz will never speak
dont know if the laws in JA are simular to those in the US but if the law says “beyond the shadow of a doubt” then Addi will walk……..to much holes in this guys story
hope shawna sstorm gets out too
When does vybz speak??
Never
Trendsetter u might be correct I mentioned that before . If it happens that way lets see who Kartel real friends are.
When we look at Chow’s statement that he’s fearless of Addi, its a silent message about the whole ordeal, that he might have witnessed.
huh?
Looks like Addi will walk free but some / one of his co-accused will remain behind bars . That’s my opinion based on all facts put forward so far.
They haven’t even found Williams body yet. There could be no murder at all!
