A blanket of uncertainty still hovers over the Vybz Kartel appeal case, as the date when the verdict will be announced remains unknown.
When the appeal hearings ended in July, anxious supporters of the convicted DJ were told that they would have to wait until December to hear if Kartel and his three co-convicts would be freed.
Seven months later, and the supporters are no closer to hearing whether or not their are beloved DJ will be freed.
Kartel’s lawyer, Barry Samuels, made mention of a recent documentary on FOX News aired on the incarcerated deejay. He said the overseas news station may have overextended when they indicated that a verdict in the DJ’s appeal case may be reached in a matter of weeks.
