TO:THE PUBLIC DEFENDER, JUDGE LENNOX CAMPBELL, MEMBERS OF THE JURY, SUPREME COURT, COURT OF APPEAL, PRIVY COUNCIL,                 DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTION, MR TOM TAVARES-FINSON, MR MIGUEL LORNE, MS TAMPA HARRIS, MR DUEHAR, MR ROGERS, MINISTER OF JUSTICE AND SECURITY, MOST HONORABLE PORT IA SIMPSON-MILLER, THE PUBLIC

A PLEASANT GOOD DAY

I AM WRITING TO YOU IN REGARDS TO THE VYBZ KARTEL MURDER TRIAL, NOT BEING IN ATTENDANCE AT THE TRIAL (SUPPOSEDLY THE LONGEST MURDER TRIAL IN JAMAICA HISTORY), I HAD TO RELY ON MEDIA REPORTS AND UNLESS MUCH HAS BEEN “LOST IN TRANSLATION” , I DO NOT THINK THAT BASED ON THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED A JURY COULD HAVE MET FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS TO EXAMINE THE……

 OFFERING PRESENTED IN A 65 DAY TRIAL (JUDGE LENNOX CAMPBELL SPENT ALL OF 6 DAYS TO DO HIS SUMMARY).

CLEARLY JURORS HAD LONG DECIDED THAT THE “WORLD BOSS” AND HIS CO-ACCUSED HAD TO BE SENT AWAY AND THEY WERE NOT GOING TO OBJECTIVELY EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED. I GUESS THEY WERE EXERCISING THEIR “COMMON SENSE” AS URGED BY JUDGE CAMPBELL

JURORS ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THE COURT, OR PUBLIC OPINION THEY ARE SITTING IN THE COURT OF LAW, THE SUPREME COURT TO BE EXACT AND THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED MUST BE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT TO RESULT IN A CONVICTION. THE POLICE HAD ALSO USED MR

PALMER’S PHONE WHILE IT WAS IN THEIR POSSESSION, AN ACTION WHICH I SUSPECT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE COLLAPSE OF THE CROWN’S CASE IN OTHER JURISDICTION

A  PARTICULAR CONCERN MUST ALSO BE THE CONDUCT OF THE PRESIDING JUDGE. HE DID NOT COME ACROSS AS AN IMPARTIAL

ARBITRATOR BUT PROBABLY DEMONSTRATED BIAS TOWARDS THE PROSECUTION. HE FOR EXAMPLE REPEATEDLY REFUSED TO INCLUDE TIME STAMPS OF AUDIO AND VIDEO EVIDENCE DURING HIS SUMMARY. I AM NOT A FAN OF DANCEHALL OR A LAWYER AND I DO BELIEVE THAT IF

YOU DO THE CRIME YOU SHOULD PAY THE PENALTY, THAT’S JUST IT. I WILL SAY THIS THOUGH, THE JAMAICAN SYSTEM IS KNOWN FOR ITS

LACKADAISICAL TRAITS AND COVER UP. THEY SEE MR PALMER AS A YOUNG BLACK. YES, A BLACK GHETTO YOUTH WITH POWER. BUT THINK ABOUT IT; OPEN UP YOUR MINDS FOR ONE MOMENT AND LET US THINK AS EDUCATED PEOPLE. IF YOU WERE A BUSINESS MAN SELLING BAGS,

WHAT WOULD YOU DO? MAKE THE BAGS APPEALING TO WHAT THE PUBLIC IS GRAVITATING TOWARDS RIGHT?  IT’S THE SAME WITH MUSICIANSRAPPERS, DJS R&B SINGERS, POP STARS YOU NAME IT. DONT BLADE MR PALMER FOR VIOLENCE IN JAMAICA BECAUSE KILLING AND ROBBERIES

HAVE BEEN HAPPENING LONG BEFORE YOU AND I WERE BORN. MR BUNTING WENT ON NATIONAL TV AND STATED THAT MR PALMER IS ONE OF

JAMAICA’S FOUR PROBLEM..QUESTION TO YOU MR BUNTING HAS CRIME DECREASED FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS THESE MEN HAVE BEEN

BEHIND BARS.AND DO YOU STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT WITH MR PALMER AND HIS CO-ACCUSSED IN PRISON THAT THE CRIME RATE WILL GO DOWN?  BECAUSE SO FAR IT HAVE NOT. AS THE MINISTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY YOU ARE DOING A VERY POOR JOB AND INSTEAD OF BLAMING

MR PALMER, MAYBE MR BUNTING YOU SHOULD CONSIDER RETIRING.

NOW LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE CASE IN A NUTSHELL.

THE DEPUTY COMISSIONER OF POLICE STATED THAT HE IS CONCERNED THAT THE CELLPHONES WERE BEING USED BUT NOT SURPRISE

BECAUSE HE IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THE LEVEL OF CORRUPTION IN THE POLICE FORCE. NOW, HOW CAN A POLICE OFFICER COLLECT A

CELLPHONE AS EVIDENCE AND ALLOW OTHER POLICE OFFICERS TO USE THE SAME CELL PHONE AND THEN AFTER TENDERED IT INTO EVIDENCE AND THE JUDGE ACCEPTED IT INTO EVIDENCE. THE BLOOD FOUND ON THE PREMISES WHERE IT WAS SAID THAT THE ALLEDGED

MURDER TOOK PLACE WAS COLLECTED AS EVIDENCE AND MATCH AGAINST CLIVE WILLIAMS UNCLE CAME BACK NEGATIVE AND THE

PROSECUTION REPLY WAS THE REASON THE BLOOD WASNT A MATCH WAS BECAUSE MR WILLIAMS WAS A “JACKET”.

A CELL SITE EXPERT FROM THE POLICE FORCE WAS CALLED UPON AND HE TESTIFIED THAT NO ONE CELLPHONE CAN MAKE A CALL ONE

SECOND AFTER BEEN REGISTERED AT THE NORMAN MANLEY AIRPORT AND AT THE ACADIA CELL SITES.

WHEN THE QUESTION WAS PUT TO HIM BY THE DEFENSE AS TO HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE, HIS REPLY WAS HE CANNOT ANSWER TO THAT.

 HE WAS ASKED IF IT’S POSSIBLE THAT THE CHIP WAS CLONE AND HE REPLY SAYING IT’S A POSSIBILITY.

ANOTHER POLICE EXPERT WAS CALLED UPON BY THE PROSECUTOR. HE TESTIFIED THAT METADATA IS A DATA ABOUT DATA AND THE MAIN WITNESS HAD TESTIFIED BEFORE THAT HE ARRIVED AT HAVENDALE 5 OR 5:30 BUT CALL DATA RECORD SHOWED HIS PHONE MAKING

CALLS IN PORTMORE AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME. THE POLICE EXPERT WAS ASKED BY THE DEFENSE HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE. HIS REPLY WAS I

DON’T KNOW. HE ALSO TESTIFIED THAT A PHOTOGRAPH WAS TAKEN FROM A PHONE ALLEDGELLY BELONGING TO THE ACCUSED MR PALMER

OF A DOG BITE ON HIS  FOOT. METADATA TIME OF THE PHOTO WAS 7:09 PM AT THAT TIME CALL DATA WAS SHOWN THAT THE MAIN WITNESS

WAS IN ROUTE ON RED HILLS ROAD HEADING TO HAVENDALE, AND THE MAIN WITNESS HAD TESTIFY THAT MR PALMER GOT BITTEN WHILE HE WAS RUNNING AFTER HIM,  NOW COULD IT BE THAT THE MAIN WITNESS WAS THERE BEFORE HE WAS ACTUALLY THERE? HOW IS IT POSSIBLE

THAT THE MAIN WITNESS WAS IN BOTH PLACES AT THE SAME TIME?  WHEN ASK UPON BY THE DEFENSE HOW IS IT POSSIBLE, HIS REPLY WAS HE DOES NOT KNOW. NOW THIS SAID POLICE EXPERT GAVE EVIDENCE THAT HE CREATED A CALL DATA REPORT ON THE 22ND OF OCTOBER 2011 ,

AND AT THAT TIME WAS THE FIRST HE WAS USING THE PHONE WHILE HE WAS EXAMING THEM, BUT HIS REPORT SHOWED THAT HE WAS BEING ACCESSED ON THE 3,4,10,11,12,13,14 OF OCTOBER 2011. WHEN ASK BY THE DEFENSE WHO HAD ACCESS TO THE CELLPHONE DURING THESE TIMES SINCE OCTOBER 22ND 2011 WAS THE FIRST TIME IT WAS BEING USED BY HIM ,HE REPLY SAYING HE CANNOT SPEAK ON THAT. THE

INCONSISTENT OF THIS WITNESS GOES FURTHER BUT I CHOOSE TO END IT HERE.

ANOTHER WITNESS WAS CALLED BY THE PROSECUTION, THIS TIME IT WAS THE HEAD OF THE DIGICEL GROUP WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF

PREPARING THE CALL DATA RECORD THAT WAS GIVEN TO THE POLICE TO GIVE TO THE COURT. HE TESTIFIED THAT HE PREPARED TWO (2) CDS:

JS1 AND JS2. NOW THE JS1 WAS A COPY OF THE EVIDENCE COLLECTED AND ONLY TO BE OPENED IN COURT FOR COURT USE ONLY. JS2 WAS THE WORKING COPY WHICH THE POLICE USED TO CREATE EVIDENCE, HOWEVER WHEN THE EVIDENCE WAS PRESENTED BY THE POLICE EXPERT, IT WAS SHOWN FROM JS2 AND THAT CD THE HEAD OF THE DIGICEL GROUP SAID HE GAVE IT TO THE POLICE FOR ONLY WORKING USE WAS NOT

 FOR COURT PRESENTATION. WHEN ASK BY THE DEFENSE HOW CAN THE COURT VERIFY THAT THE INFORMATION ON JS2 WAS AUTHENTIC HE

REPLY SAYING IT COULD ONLY BE PROVEN WITH THE ORIGINAL JS1, HE ALSO TESTIFIED THAT THE INFORMATION ON JS2 COULD BE COPIED

AND MODIFIED.THE DEFENSE THEN ASK THE COURT TO PRESENT THE ORIGINAL JS1 CD AT WHICH THE PROSECUTOR TOLD THE DEFENSE AND

THE COURT THAT THE ORIGINAL JS1 CD COULD NOT BE FOUND BECAUSE IT WAS LOST, SEEMS TO ME LIKE ALL THE EVIDENCE JUST GOT UP AND WALK. THE HANDWRITING EXPERT WAS CALLED TO TESTIFY BY THE DEFENSE TEAM. THIS EXPERT ALSO WORKS FOR THE PROSECUTION. NOW A LETTER WAS WRITTEN BY THE MAIN WITNESS TO THE PUBLIC DEFENDER STATING THAT HE WAS BEING FORCED BY THE POLICE TO GIVE

STATEMENT AGAINST THE ACCUSED MEN IN MR PALMER’S TRIAL. HE ALSO INCLUDED IN HIS LETTER THAT HE HAD INDEED SEEN CLIVE

WILLIAMS ALIVE AFTER AUGUST 16.2011. THE HANDWRITING EXPERT ANALYZE THE LETTER BY COMPARING THE SIGNATURE ON THE LETTER

TO OVER 39 SIGNATURE ON THE MAIN WITNESS STATEMENT PRODUCED BY THE PROSECUTION. THE EXPERT INDEED SAID THAT THE LETTER

WAS SIGNED BY THE SAME PERSON. WHEN THE PROSECUTION BEGAN TO CROSS EXAMINED THE WITNESS, HE TOLD BY EXPERT THAT HIS

EXAMINATION WAS INCOMPLETE BECAUSE HE DIDN’T HAVE THE ORIGINAL STATEMENT OF THE WITNESS HANDWRITING, IN WHICH THE EXPERT REPLIED HE WASN’T GIVEN THE ORIGINAL STATEMENT BUT INSTEAD GIVEN PHOTO COPIES, THE DEFENSE OBJECTED AND ASK THE

PROSECUTION FOR THE ORIGINAL, THE PROSECUTOR TOLD THE COURT THE ORIGINAL WAS MISSING.

PROSECUTOR CALLED POLICE CELL SITE EXPERT. DURING HIS EVIDENCE HE TESTIFY SAYING HE HAS A PHOTO OF THE HOUSE

NAVIGATED BY GOOGLE EART., WHEN QUESTION BY THE DEFENSE HOW HE CAME UP WITH THE LOCATION HE TOLD THE COURT HE GOT

CORDINATES FROM A PHOTOGRAPH FROM A PHONE THAT WAS ALLEDGE TO BELONG TO MR PALMER. IN PRESENTING HIS FINDING TO THE

COURT, THE HOUSE THAT GOOGLE POINTED WAS NOT THE SAME HOUSE THE ALLEDGE MURDER WAS SAID TO HAVE TAKEN PLACE BUT A

HOUSE THAT WAS ACTUALLY ACROSS FROM IT. WHEN ASK BY THE DEFENSE HOW THIS HAPPEN THAT HOUSE CAME UP HE REPLY THAT HE CANNOT SPEAK TO THAT MATTER OR MAYBE GOOGLE EARTH WAS AT FAULT. ON A NEXT MATTER HOW DID THE MAIN WITNESS HAPPEN TO MAKE

OUT THAT MR WILLIAMS WAS LYING MOTIONLESS ON THE FLOOR AND MR ST JOHN STANDING OVER HIM WITH A BLOCK WHILE HE WAS

RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE ALL FROM A CELLPHONE LIGHT. BEARING IN MIND, THE HOUSE WAS IN COMPLETE DARKNESS, HOW DID THE MAIN

WITNESS RUN FROM SUCH A SHORT DISTANCE FROM THE HOUSE TO JUMP OVER A 8 FOOT GATE AND NOT SUSTAINED ANY INJURIES AT ALL (A

TALENTED YOUNG MAN). NOTE BOOK CONTAINING CRUCIAL INFORMATION TO THE CASE JUST VANISHED. A VIDEO WAS SHOWN IN COURT, A

VIDEO SHOWING NO FACES, JUST CLOTHES AND TATTOOS. NO MURDER WAS SEEN TAKING PLACE ON THE VIDEO. AFTER IT WAS PUT OUT BY

THE  MEDIA LONG BEFORE THE TRIAL STARTED THAT THE POLICE HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THE ACCUSED MEN COMMITTING MURDER.

I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT PEOPLE CAN SOUND ALIKE..AND PEOPLE SOUNDS DIFFERENT OVER THE PHONE EVEN ON A VOICE NOTE..TAKE

FOR EXAMPLE THE DANCEHALL DUO TWINS OF TWINS WHEN THEY ARE IN CHARACTER 90% OF THE TIME THEY DO SOUND LIKE THE PERSON

THEY ARE MIMICKING. WITH TODAYS TECHNOLOGY, ANYTHING IS  POSSIBLE INCLUDING CREATING A FAKE TEXT MESSAGE OR EVEN MAKING A FAKE PHONE CALL. THERE IS AN APPLICATION FOR THAT AND IT WORKS, TRUST ME IT DOES BECAUSE I HAVE TRIED IT AND YOU CANNOT

TELL IF IT’S REAL OR FAKE.

THE PROSECUTOR CALLED ANOTHER POLICE EXPERT THAT STATED HE WAS IN CHARGE OF DEALING WITH THE TEXT MESSAGES. HE

PRESENTED A COLORED CHART TO THE COURT THAT WAS CREATED BY HIM SHOWING TEXT MESSAGES TAKEN FROM A CELLPHONE

ALLEDGELY BELONGING TO MR PALMER IN A READABLE FORMATION. BUT RIGHT BEFORE THE COURT HE CHANGED THE COLOR AND FORMAT

 IN WHICH  THE MESSAGES WERE SENT. PLEASE NOTE THAT HE HAD EARLIER INFORMED THE COURT THAT JS2 CD WAS READ ONLY AND THAT   NOTHING COULD BE CHANGE. THAT SAME POLICE TOOK THE TEXT “PROGRAM THEM THINGS FOR LIZZY” AND PLACE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND LATER ADMITTED HE DOESN’T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPEN. IT’S NO DOUBT THE POLICE  FORCE IS CORRUPTED. POLICE EVEN KILL THEIR OWN

AND SAY THEY DIED IN SHOOT OUT. MR PALMER IS PAYING THE PRICE FOR VOICING HIS OPINION AGAINST THE CORRUPTED GOVERNMENT, HE WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO TALK AND TO EVEN WRITE A BOOK ABOUT THE ILLS OF SOCIETY. YOU CANNOT FIND A PERSON GUILTY BECAUSE YOU DISLIKE THEM, OR FOR HOW THEY LOOK. HIS TATTOOS AND BLEACHING IS JUST AN ARTISTIC IMPRESSION AND AFTER ALL IT’S HIS SKIN, FOR

ANYONE TO SELL ANYTHING AT ALL YOU HAVE TO BE CREATIVE, ECPECIALLY THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY WHERE THE COMPETITION IS

 SO HIGH. VYBZ KARTER AND ADIDJA PALMER ARE TWO DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL. SHAWN STORM AND SHAWN CAMPBELL ARE TWO DIFFERENT

INDIVIDUALS. CALL IT  SPILT PERSONALITES IF YOU MAY, FOR THEM IT WORKS. TAPPING INTO CHARACTER TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE

DO YOU THINK CORRUPTION IS GONNA STOP IF SOMEONE DOESN’T TALK ABOUT IT? DO YOU THINK POTHOLES ARE GONNA FILL UP ON THEIR

OWN IF SOMEONE DON’T CHALLENGE THE GOVERNMENT? WAKE UP PEOPLE. I WISH THE SYSTEM WOULD HAVE TRIED THESE MEN FOR WHO

THEY ARE AND NOT FROM THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH THEY ARE FROM. A MAN MUST BE JUDGED ACCORDING TO THE EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM AND NOT WHAT WAS MADE UP FOR HIM, THIS CASE SURELY AND PURELY IS MADE UP OF UNFAIR CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE

IN ORDER FOR THERE TO BE A BETTER JUSTICE SYSTEM, THE CORRUPTION HAS TO BE REMOVED. THESE MEN DESERVE A FAIR TRIAL.

THANK YOU
