"Vybz Kartel's Murder Conviction Overturned: Jamaican Dancehall Star's Legal Victory"

TL;DR Summary
Jamaican dancehall artist Vybz Kartel's murder conviction for the killing of Clive "Lizard" Williams has been overturned by the Privy Council in London, a decade after his initial conviction. Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, argued that attempts to bribe jurors tainted the case. Officials in Jamaica will now decide whether Kartel will be tried again. The initial trial in 2014 resulted in Kartel and three co-defendants being convicted for Williams' murder, but Kartel continued to release music while behind bars and remained a prominent figure in Jamaican music.
