The Court of Appeal, today, removed two and a half years off the prison time that Vybz Kartel and his co-convicts must serve before they are eligible for parole.
Kartel must now serve 32 years and six months instead of 35 years, Shawn Storm, real name Shawn Campbell, and Kahira Johns will now serve 22 years and six months, while Andre St John will serve 27 years and six months.
Earlier this month, the Court of Appeal refused an application challenging their conviction and sentences but ruled that they would hear arguments for a reduction in parole eligibility.
In April 2014, the men were convicted for the August 2011 killing of Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams at a house in Havendale, St Andrew.
