Vybz Kartel Sentenced To Life In Prison

Could you do that hard time?

We may have heard the last of the legendary singer Vybz Kartel. Today (April 3rd), Kartel was sentence to life in prison for the murder of his former associate Clive “Lizard” Williams.

An undeniable, yet divisive, talent, Vybz Kartel has entered into a career phase his seemingly invincible ego, as the self-designated World Boss, might have never envisioned: a life sentence, handed down today by Justice Lennox Campbell in Jamaica’s Supreme Court. Several roads were closed within the vicinity of the downtown Kingston courthouse in anticipation of today’s sentencing, which was originally scheduled for March 27th. This was the longest murder trial in Jamaica’s history and prosecutors say Williams was murdered after a failed business deal

Shawn “Shawn Storm” Campbell, Kahira Jones and Andre St John were also given life sentences in connection to Williams’ murder.

Kartel will not be eligible for parole until he serves 35 years of his life sentence, while Shawn Campbell and Kahira Jones will be eligible for parole after serving 25 years of their life sentences; Andre St. John will be eligible for parole after serving 15 years of his life sentence. Williams body was never found and the jury voted 10-1 to convict the four people. The one juror who voted against the decision has since been charged with attempting to bribe other jurors into changing their decisions.

Clive Williams was murdered in August of 2011, the same month Vybz Kartel released Kingston Story.

This guy is 38 years old, he’ll be 73 when he’s eligible for parole, at that point he might as well just spend his last couple years chillin’ in the bing.
