‘Let the law take its course’
Vybz Kartel and his three co-accused were on Wednesday granted leave to appeal their conviction and sentence in the Court of Appeal, but Jamaica Observer online readers had mixed reactions, with some expressing a lack of confidence in the justice system.
Kartel, whose given name is Adidja Palmer; Kahira Jones; Andre St John; and entertainer Shawn “Shawn Storm” Campbell hope to have their sentences for murder overturned. This is what Observer online readers had to say:

I follow the trial in the media, and I think that the evidence against these convicted men are credible. The sentences that they receive is justified to me, for such a heinous crime. I think the appellate court is going to uphold the decision of the trial court.

Has anyone seen Clive Williams since?

Yes addi, this is the redemption, God knows why this appeal was granted. I know you will overcome and win this appeal.

I can’t understand why its set up so that the prosecution gets involved again. Might as well be a retrial.

I did make a statement after the trial and conviction of that youth Kartel, and I know it is going to be fulfilled. I never knew of him before his case entered the news.
He is going to be a free man, but he must consider a totally new behaviour pattern; that’s the only advice I have for him. I have nothing against his music because they are not more influential than the dirty sex and crime movies transmitted down via cable out there. I only can wish him all the best in his endeavour to be set free.

As expected! Can anyone say IF the appeal fails what would be the cost to the STATE and HOW will it be compensated?

Hope the victim’s family read this… If it was even mi bredda do the crime do the time .

I feel sad for the parents of the missing and presumed dead man. Everyone deserves their day in court but I don’t trust the competency of our attorney general’s office.

Would not mind if the appeal was today, so this kartel debacle can be done with once and for all.

Jail or no jail, be yourself. God or no god, be you, who care about the world and comments.
