Kartel Murder Trial: Public Defender Subpoena To Hand Over Witness Letter
Kartel is jointly charged along with his protege Shawn “Storm” Campbell, Kahira Jones, André St John, and Shane Williams for the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams.
Yesterday Public Defender Earl Witter handed over a hand written letter to the court which is believed to be sent to him by the prosecution’s main witness.
A hand writing analysis will be done to determine if the witness did in fact penned that letter, a notion he denied in court yesterday.
The witness allegedly wrote the letter the Public Defender in November 2011, after saying he saw Clive Williams after the day of the attack on August 16, 2011.
The witness also allegedly complained in the letter that he was being forced to testify by police officers.
According to authorities, Williams was beaten to death at a home in Havendale over a missing firearm believed to be belonging to Vybz Kartel.
His body has not been found.
If found guilty the accused men could received life sentences.

Trial adjourned early today because no witness was available to take the stand.

Then what next because we need to know when di world boss is back in court
It is clear that Clive Williams was killed no doubt about that – It is also clear that Chow was there when it took place – If Kartel and is friends are innocent give answers to the following – why would your own dog bite you – answer if your scare the animal – what could cause the animal to be scared – why did they not go back to the house when finished at the hospital If the only thing that happen was a dog bite – where is the dog – For what reason did they go to a guested house after just been bitten by a dog would you – why was the house burnt – we are so fixated on what is irrelevant we overlook the facts that are right in front of us
Well the prosecution did a poor job at presenting the case I would say.
Yes I agree – they are going for the slam dunk – and it could back fire
How do you think this could back fire if its to happen, just curious Stephen.
you right alot of this case dont make no sense at all . if i was afraid of kartel or his friends i would not be getting in a car with him knowning he can take me somewhere else to kill me right.worldboss is being set as a example .Same sh– did they to tupac wit his rape charge
Whether innocent or guilty, the evidence so far is, circumstancial at best, and complete fabrication at worst. These aren’t the levels of proof, that should dictate a man’s liberty. I for one, am still awaiting the viewing of the alleged video tape. May I suggest that it is obvious, that there has been a hidden agenda to this case, all along. Peoples lives should never be subject to the whims of those who have the power, but so often that is the case.
I just imagine the huge crowd that will be there on hand to celebrate when the Teacher do road come Friday
