The hearing of the Appeal will commence tomorrow February 14, 2024 to February 15, 2024 by Justices Lord Reed, Lord Lloyd-Jones, Lord Briggs, Lord Burrows, and Lady Simler. The case details shared via the UK Privy Council website are that the Appellants are challenging the March 13, 2014, conviction for the murder of associate Clive “Lizard” Williams.

They inter alia allege that crucial cellphone evidence was improperly obtained and that the trial itself was compromised. The Appellants were all arrested on September 30, 2011, and police seized their cellular telephones. The evidence from the phones taken by Digicel Communications and placed on a CD was heavily relied on during the trial.

Their March 13, 2014 conviction was upheld by the Jamaica Court Of Appeal in April 2020 prompting the four men to move to the Privy Council, the final court of appeal for some Commonwealth nations, including Jamaica, seeking to overturn their life sentences that range from 22 to 32 years before parole.

The General Legal Council, the oversight body for lawyers in Jamaica, has suspended attorney Isat Buchanan, the lead defense attorney on Vybz Kartel’s appeal case, for crass comments made towards the country’s Director of Public Prosecutions.

The disciplinary panel of the General Legal Council gave its decision after hearing from Buchanan and his legal representative that he should be suspended for two (2) years.

Buchanan is the lead attorney for Vybz Kartel and instructing counsel on his upcoming Privy Council appeal, which will be heard on Valentine’s Day next year. However, 16 lawyers are working on the trial (for all of the defendants) so his absence is unlikely to significantly affect the case.

Jamaica's final Appellate Court, the Privy Council, granted the incarcerated Dancehall Artiste Adidja 'Vybz Kartel' Palmer an ‘expedited hearing’ regarding his murder conviction appeal.

Isat Buchanan, the attorney representing Vybz Kartel, confirmed the latest development. “The date is confirmed as the 14 and 15 of February 2024, following the granting of an application for expedited hearing,” Buchanan said. “The application was made after Mr Palmer’s health scare when placed in solitary confinement earlier this year,” he added.

It was reported earlier this year by Fox News New York that Kartel's Graves' disease and heart condition were getting worse, and that if he did not get surgery soon, it could be fatal.

Megan Thee Stallion Settles Legal Dispute With Former Label 1501 Certified Entertainment
Post By:Ivy,the gofikcompany Queen

The rapper and the label have “mutually reached a confidential settlement to resolve their legal differences,” and will “amicably part ways.” Megan had originally filed a lawsuit against the label in 2020 claiming 1501 was preventing her from releasing music. She also accused 1501 Certified Entertainment of fraud, breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, and more. Her legal team accused the label’s owner of having her sign an unconscionable contract.

Last year, Megan sued 1501 again, accusing the label of refusing to allow her to fulfill the terms of her contract. Megan alleged that, according to 1501, her 2021 release Something for Thee Hotties did not meet the legal definition of an “album,” and, therefore, did not satisfy her contract’s “Minimum Recording Commitment.” 1501 then countersued Megan, claiming she was in breach of contract and insisting that Something for Thee Hotties was not a legitimate album.

The specific terms of the deal including if there was any exchange of money have been kept under wraps.

Tyga and Blac Chyna‘s child support battle rages on, and in the latest development, the “Rack City” rapper is demanding sole custody of their son, King Cairo.

According to newly-filed documents obtained by The Blast on Monday, Tyga wants Chyna to have a “reasonable right of parenting time (visitation) to the party without physical custody,” instead of sharing custody. As far as travel goes, the Last Kings creator also wants to “have written permission from the other parent or party, or a court order, to take the children out of the state of California.”

The move is in response to Blac Chyna filing a petition in the Los Angeles County Superior Court in August, where she requested joint custody of King. She also filed a petition for child support.

Tory Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in jail with 345 days of custody credit by a California judge on Tuesday afternoon, almost eight months after he was found guilty by a jury in late December 2022 for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.

The Canadian rapper was found guilty of felony charges, one count of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, one count of carrying a concealed, loaded, and unregistered firearm, as well as discharging a firearm in a grossly negligent manner to cause bodily injury in the shooting of Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion in July 2020.

Prosecutors were seeking a 13-year sentence and cited three violations of pre-trial court orders, telling the judge Peterson had “waged a campaign to humiliate and re-traumatize [Megan].” His attorneys asked for him to be sentenced to probation or three years in prison and were seeking probation and mandatory rehab, citing Peterson’s alcohol addiction and childhood trauma.

Tory Lanez Files Motion for New Trial in Megan Thee Stallion Shooting

Tory Lanez has filed a motion for a new trial after being found guilty in the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.

In documents obtained by Rolling Stone, Lanez’s new lawyers argue that the judge “erroneously allowed” jurors to view an Instagram comment made by Lanez’s account claiming that Megan’s former best friend Kelsey Harris was not the shooter. Lanez’ account replied “That’s not true” on a post by The Shade Room that read “People saying Kelsey shot her.” The filing includes a declaration from Lanez’s content creator, Joshua Farias, who says he was managing Lanez’s Instagram at that point and left the comment.

Lanez’s attorneys allege that the Instagram comment was admitted into evidence mid-trial, which did not give the defense enough time to figure out who wrote the reply. They claim the post amounted to an apparent admission by Tory that Kelsey didn’t fire the gun. The defense’s entire case hinged on claims that Kelsey was the shooter, which she denied during her trial testimony.
