Isat Buchanan, the attorney representing Vybz Kartel, exudes optimism as he anticipates a favorable outcome in the appeal, firmly believing that the Law Lords will overturn the conviction and uphold constitutional principles. However, Director of Public Prosecutions Paula Llewellyn holds a divergent perspective, expressing her satisfaction with the government’s defense.

The UK-based Privy Council’s Judicial Committee recently concluded a two-day hearing on the murder appeal of Adidja ‘Vybz Kartel’ Palmer, along with Shawn ‘Shawn Storm’ Campbell, Kahira Jones, and Andre ‘Mad Suss’ St. John, convicted in 2014 for the murder of Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams.

DPP Llewellyn expressed contentment with the defense’s solid presentation during the hearing. British King’s Counsel Peter Knox, representing the Jamaican government, received commendation for adequate representation.

When questioned about the appeal’s likely outcome, Knox responded, “We shall see.” In contrast, Isat Buchanan emphasizes constitutional significance, asserting that any breach of constitutional principles would be a travesty of justice.

The varied perspectives on the appeal’s fate underscore this legal matter’s complexity. The final ruling from the Privy Council is eagerly awaited.
