Juror in Vybz Kartel case sentenced to nine months

Livingston Caine, the juror who was found guilty of offering a $500,000 bribe other jurors to grant a not guilty verdict in the Vybz Kartel murder trial was this morning sentenced to nine months in prison.

Parish Judge Maxine Ellis sentenced Caine on a charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Caine was found guilty last December.

The court heard that he had offered the money to a female juror in the case which was brought against dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel.  

Kartel, whose given name is Adidja Palmer, was eventually found guilty along with Shawn Campbell, Kahiro Jones and Andre St John for killing Clive 'Lizard' Williams at a house in Havendale, St Andrew, in August 2011. 

Caine is represented by Valerie Neita-Robertson, KC.
