Will newly introduced audio evidence make conviction more likely in Vybz Kartel Trial?

The highly publicized Vybz Kartel murder trial took another drastic turn in the Home Court on Friday (Jan 24) after the prosecution played damning audio that could implicate Vybz Kartel.

The presiding judge admitted two compact discs into evidence containing audio, video, and photo evidence.

Former head of the Cybercrime Unit, Detective Sergeant Patrick Linton, was allowed to play 9 of 40 audio recordings.

The expletives laced audio files are of a male with a voice resembling that of Vybz Kartel.

In the audio recordings, the person could be heard telling someone else that Lizard and another man lost his new shoes and he wants them back.

The chief prosecution witness told the court that shoes was another name for gun and lace was another name for bullets.

Here is the transcript:

More voice notes will be played in court on Monday when the trial resumes.

The prosecution will also introduce a 2 minutes and 17 seconds video implicating Vybz Kartel.

The prosecution will be calling a voice expert to the witness stand to make a comparison.

Authorities say Vybz Kartel, Shawn “Storm” Campbell, Kahira Jones, André St John, and Shane Williams beat Clive “Lizard” Williams to death on August 16, 2011 at a house in Havendale.

Police say Williams was killed over two missing guns belonging to Vybz Kartel.

His body has not been found.
