KINGSTON(Jerome Reynolds, Gleaner Writer):
The drug trial of embattled dancehall entertainer Vybz Kartel is expected to get underway in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court today.
Kartel is facing the charge of illegal possession of marijuana.
Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, has been offered $40,000 bail but he cannot take it up because of other charges.
The police said they held Kartel, and others in a hotel room in New Kingston last September.
The police also said a quantity of ganja was also found in the room.
Kartel is before the courts on other charges including murder and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice
