BY PAUL HENRY Crime/court co-ordinator

CAGED Deejay Vybz Kartel will have to wait until December 19 to know if he will be released on bail.

The Deejay appeared in the Corporate Area Resident magistrate's Court this morning expecting that a bail application would be filed by his attorneys on his behalf but a spanner was thrown into the works after it was revealed that certain documents relating to the case was not ready to be served on the defense.

Senior Magistrate Judith Pusey ruled today that the prosecution must hand over video and voide evidence to the defense no later than December 15.

Kartel, whose real name is Adidjah Palmer, is facing two murder charges as well as conspiracy to murder, illegal possession of a firearm and possession of ganja.

Yesterday he was offered $3 million bail in relation to the murder of Barrington 'Bossie' Bryan who was shot dead in Gregory Park, St Catherine earlier this year.

He will return later this month to learn his fate in relation to the murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams, who was allegedly beaten to death in August. His body has not yet been found.

Palmer is charged jointly with fellow Deejay Shan 'Shawn Storm Campbell, fashion designer Calvin Haye and Cayro Jones for Williams' murder.
