Quick Glance: Vybz Kartel wins appeal against murder conviction
- The London court has overturned Jamaican dancehall star Vybz Kartel's conviction for the murder of an associate over a decade ago, citing attempts to bribe the jury as making the conviction unsafe.
- Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, has been in jail in Jamaica since 2011 due to the disappearance of his associate Clive 'Lizard' Williams, whose body has never been found.
- After being convicted in Kingston in 2014, Kartel's life imprisonment sentence was reduced to 32 and a half years.
- The Privy Council in London ruled that the defendants should be retried due to the court's decision to allow the alleged bribing juror to remain in the trial.
