"Elated Convictions have been quashed," says Bert Samuels.
Speaking moments ago on TVJ, Bert Samuels Lawyer of Sean Storm says he is looking forward to going to the local courts of Appeal to fight the proposed retrail. Samuels added that he has not spoken to his client, as their retainer comes to an end.
The Privy Council this morning unanimously concluded that the appeal should be allowed, and the appellant conviction should be quashed on the grounds of jury misconduct, and that the case should be remitted to the court of Appeal of Jamaica to decide whether to order a retrial of the appellants for the murder of Clive Williams.
The Privy Council has sent back the murder case
Anticipation is high as the UK-based Privy Council prepares to hand down its ruling in the appeal of the murder conviction of dancehall entertainer Vybz Kartel and his three co-convicts.
The Judicial Committee indicated that the ruling will be delivered Thursday starting at 11 a.m. Jamaica time.
The ruling will be livestreamed and will come almost 10 years to the day Kartel and his co-accused were found guilty.
During the appeal hearing, held over two days from February 14, the Law Lords raised questions around the judge's decision to continue the trial after it was revealed that a member of the jury pool had offered a bribe to the foreman to swing the verdict in favour of Kartel.
It is expected to be the main issue influencing their decision.

They were all sentenced to life in prison.

STARTING TODAY [Feb 14], the highest court in the UK is considering whether Vybez Kartel will remain behind bars or be set free. Many made the early rise to watch day 1 of 2 of livestream from the UK Privy Council website www.jcpc.uk
Case information via jcpc website:
Shawn Campbell and 3 others (Appellants) v The King (Respondent) No 2 (Jamaica)
Case ID: JCPC 2022/0049
Jurisdiction: Court of Appeal of Jamaica
Case summary
Issue
On 13 March 2014, the appellants were convicted of the murder of Clive "Lizard" Williams. The issue in this appeal is whether their convictions are safe in light of the following grounds of challenge:
Should the trial judge have excluded the telecommunications evidence relied on by the prosecution?
How should the judge have handled the allegations that there were attempts to bribe members of the jury during the trial? Should the jury (or the particular juror said to have offered the bribes) have been discharged?
Was the judge wrong to invite the jury to reach a verdict late in the day, given the special circumstances of the case?
Facts
After a trial lasting 64 days before the trial judge and a jury in the Home Circuit Court in Kingston, Jamaica, the appellants were convicted of Mr Williams' murder.
The police took the appellants into custody on 30 September 2011 and seized their cellular telephones. The prosecution relied heavily on evidence derived from these phones. At the trial, the appellants challenged the admissibility of this telecommunications evidence. However, the trial judge ruled that the telecommunications evidence was admissible.
During the trial, the judge became aware of an allegation that a juror had attempted to bride others by offering $500,000 JMD for a particular outcome. After investigating the allegation and considering it with counsel for both the prosecution and the defense, the judge decided that the trial should proceed. He did not discharge the jury, or the particular juror said to have offered the bribes.
