Being behind bars won't silence Vybz Kartel's outspoken views on the "injustice system of Jamaica." Kartel was acquitted in the death of 27-year-old promoter Barrington "Bossie" Burtona, yet remains incarcerated for the fatal beating of friend Clive "Lizzard" Williams. He said the numerous murder allegations (including a third, this time involving former road manager Patrick "Roach" Samuels) are bogus.

"The injustice system of Jamaica is trying to use me as a scapegoat for crime, so they're trying to build a case that doesn't exist," he told Boomshots.com via an email in response to trial delays that have kept him in custody for two years.

Kartel — who nicknamed his jail bid "the Kartel inquisition" — wrote that he's most affected by the separation from his family. "That's the most painful thing. Not seeing my family especially my kids."

Speaking of which, Kartel doesn't want kids to follow his lead in skin lightening, but will continue to practice if freed. "No I won't stop bleaching," he asserted. "It's my skin."

Earlier this week, the 37-year-old's record label released Kartel Forever: The Trilogy, a triple-disc effort comprised of old hits and other music recorded "before he was locked away," according to Tad Dawkins of Tads Records. "They were never released. So what the producers did, they just put new instruments and gave it a new mix, like the new kind of stuff that’s going on now," he explained.

In a press release promoting his album, Kartel assured fans that despite the incarceration he's "still up to the time."

Sharing his own optimism, Dawkins said he sees Kartel's legal issues as fuel. "He also thrives from controversy," Dawkins said. "He will take something and turn it around and twist it so he will look good. He loves controversy — like what's happening now with the police when they raided his cell. He’s getting so much press out of it you'd never believe it."

gaza lord could be home for christmas

Adidja Palmer, Vybz Kartel’s government name, second murder trial is only two weeks away but Jamaican authorities could possibly drop the case before the high profile trial even get off the ground.

Sources close to the case told Urban Islandz that the witnesses are still not cooperating and maybe in hiding which makes it very difficult for the prosecution to prove their case.

“The second trial is suffering the same faith as the first, witnesses are just not coming forward despite efforts to get in touch with them,” the source told us, requested his identity being withheld.

The source also told us that authorities may have exhausted all their delay tactics and will be hard pressed to bring their case before the court.

“They have exhausted all their tactics to delay the trial and the police didn’t help the case when they made a statement claiming that they found contraband in his [Vybz Kartel] jail cell. So its now or never for the prosecution,” the reliable source added.

Vybz Kartel will go on trial starting November 18 for the murder of Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams.

Vybz Kartel murder trial set to begin today in 'Lizard' case

After more than two years behind bars, dancehall entertainer Vybz Kartel is expected to go on trial today for the murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams.

The matter is to be heard in the Home Circuit Court.

Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, is jointly charged with fellow entertainer Shawn Campbell, popularly known as Shawn Storm, fashion designer Calvin Haye, André St John, Shane Williams and Kahira Jones.

It is alleged that Williams was killed at Kartel’s home in Havendale, St Andrew, on August 16, 2011.

It is further alleged that Williams was killed after he and another man were taken to the entertainer’s house to account for a lost firearm.

The other man is expected to be the prosecution’s main witness.

Williams’ body has not been found.

However, the police have reported that they have video and audio recordings linking Vybz Kartel and his co-defendants to the killing.

In July, Kartel and his then co-accused were found not guilty of the murder of St Catherine businessman Barrington 'Bossy' Burton.

Despite being freed of the murder charge, the controversial entertainer remained in police custody as his bail applications in the 'Lizard' murder case were turned down by the courts.

Vybz Kartel Trial: Defense Attorneys Very Confident, Says Prosecution Case Weak

After a week on trial for the alleged murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams, Vybz Kartel’s attorneys says they are very confident he will be acquitted.

On the first week of trial, the three senior police officers were called to the witness stand, as well as, Clive Williams’ sister and girlfriend.

Christian Tavares-Finson, who representS Vybz Kartel, says so far there has been nothing incriminating to convict his client.

“We feel very confident, you know we have our instructions and we are proceeding along those lines,” Tavares-Finson, from Finson & Associates, told Irie FM. “Thus far there is nothing really to suggest that our client is guilty of anything.”

Shawn Storm’s attorney, Miguel Lorne, also echoed the same sentiments. According to Lorne, it was regrettable what fashion stylist Calvin “Moonie” Haye endured for two years only to be told there is no evidence against him.

“The case is now one week old and so far the prosecution has been trying its best to put up a presentable case,” Lorne said. “So far the evidence would not be able to convict any of the five accused.”

IS STAR WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION, LAMAR CHOW LYING IN HIS TESTIMONIAL?

On Thursday and Friday of last week, the prosecution witness came under pressure from the defense attorneys representing Vybz Kartel and his co-accused.

Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, is on trial for the alleged murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams. The dancehall star is jointly charged along with protege Shawn “Storm” Campbell, Kahira Jones, André St John, and Shane Williams.

This week the prosecution introduced their star witness Lama Chow to the stand where he gave some damning testimony.

According to Chow, Vybz Kartel and his co-accused murdered his friend Lizard and attempted to give him the same fate before he escaped.
Key witness lied about illegal firearm

Attorney Pierre Rodgers, who is representing Kartel’s co-accused Kahira Jones, questioned Lamar Chow about his handling of an illegal firearm believed to be belonging to Vybz Kartel on the day he and Clive Williams were allegedly attacked at a house in Havendale.

Chow denied having the gun on the day in question, August 16, 2011. When pressed further, the key witness again denied handling of the gun, not knowing whats coming next.

Rodgers then asked Chow to read a paragraph from the official statement he gave to police.

One of the sentence from the script reads, “Bandit take out a gun from the back of his waist and give it to me.”
