Vybz Kartel Sentenced To Life In Murder Case (@Vybz_Kartel)



Popular Dancehall artist Vybz Kartel was sentenced to life in prison after he was found guilty of murder.

According to Gawker, the "Romping Shop" singer was convicted of killing Clive "Lizard" Williams over an argument over illegal handguns. Three others were also found guilty in covering up the murder.


One of the key pieces of evidence that sent the artist to prison was text that came from his phone saying that the body was chopped like "mincemeat" so it would never be found.


The case was the longest court case in the history of Jamaica, after beginning last November.


During his case, rappers like Busta Rhymes came out to support the artist.


Kartel will be eligible for parole in 2049.
