In a dramatic turn of events, Jamaican dancehall icon Vybz Kartel, along with two of his three co-accused Shawn “Shawn Storm” Campbell and Andre St. John has been denied bail while awaiting a retrial for the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams. This decision comes after their prior convictions were overturned due to significant jury errors, leading to a reassessment of the case.
Justice Thomas of the Supreme Court of Kingston stated, “Since their appeal is not yet determined, they should remain in custody until their appeal is concluded.”

Despite their ongoing assertions of innocence, Vybz Kartel and his associates remain behind bars, with the public avidly following each development in this gripping saga.
As the case unfolds, the world watches, captivated by the twists and turns of this high-stakes legal battle. Will the controversial artist and his co-accused get a new trial, or will they continue to face the consequences of the initial verdict? Stay tuned as this riveting story progresses.
