Vybz Kartel still Seeking Bail

KINGSTON (Gleaner): Lawyers for dancehall star Vybz Kartel are expected to seek bail for him when he returns to court tomorrow. Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, made a brief appearance in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday, but did not enter a plea. Prosecutors also revealed that two other men, Neil Thompson and Lengberg McDonald, will be jointly charged in the case. Palmer is facing murder, conspiracy to commit murder and illegal possession of firearm charges arising from the shooting death of Barrington Burton, a St Catherine businessman/promoter, in the parish in July. One of his attorneys, Christian Tavares-Finson, said the case is now properly before the court and prosecutors have turned over the relevant documents to the defence.
