Vybz Kartel and Gaza Slim are expected to return to the Corporate Are R-M Court TODAY, January 9, 2012.
The two are to face allegations of perverting the course of justice.
In English, Canadian and Irish law perverting the course of justice is a criminal offence in which someone prevents justice from being served on himself or on another party. It is a common law offence carrying a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. (In Jamaica the sentence may differ)
Perverting the course of justice can be any of three acts:
⁃ Fabricating or disposing of evidence
⁃ Intimidating or threatening a witness or juror
⁃ Intimidating or threatening a judge
The two defendants Vybz Kartel and Gaza Slim have been lockup since last year.
