Jamaican dancehall star Adidja Palmer, widely known as Vybz Kartel, has been released from prison after serving 12 years of a life sentence.
Kartel, along with Shawn Shawn Storm Campbell, Andre St John, and Kahira Jones, was initially convicted in 2014 for the 2011 murder of Clive Lizard Williams.
The convictions were overturned by the Privy Council in March 2024 due to juror misconduct, which led to an appeal regarding whether a retrial should take place.
On Wednesday, the Court of Appeal of Jamaica ruled against a retrial, concluding a nearly 13-year legal ordeal.
