One of the lawyers in the appeal case for Vybz Karel and his co-appellants this morning argued that the sentences that were handed down were excessive.
Robert Fletcher, who is representing Kahira Jones, said that the trial judge Justice Lennox Campbell, besides sentencing the men without a social enquiry report, also failed to consider the time already spent in custody.
Fletcher also argued that his client had no previous conviction and that was not taken into account by the judge.
Jones, along with Vybz Kartel, whose given name is Adidja Palmer, and Shawn “Shawn Storm” Campbell are jointly charged with Andre St John for the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams.
Vybz Kartel will be eligible for parole after serving 35 years; Campbell and Jones are to serve 30 years before parole can be considered; while St John will have to do 30 years.

I was thinking how difficult a time this must be for Lizard’s family. Anyway, to how it sounds the judge no suppose to exercise any powers. Even if he handed out 10 years each, it would be a problem. All now I don’t see Kartel sweeping up garbage on the road side. Hard labour is not consulting obeah man and recording music.
