Vybz Kartel and Co-Accused Denied Bail
In a recent ruling by Supreme Court Justice Andrea Thomas, dancehall artist Vybz Kartel and two of his co-accused were denied bail. The court emphasized that, without a verdict or acquittal from the Privy Council, the murder charge remains active. Despite the Privy Council’s earlier decision to overturn their 2011 murder convictions, the court ruled they must stay in custody until the appeal’s conclusion. The decision follows a habeas corpus application filed by Kartel’s legal team.
