BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THE juror, who is accused of attempting to bribe his fellow jurors in the Vybz Kartel’s murder trial, has since remained his innocence.
According to the Jamaican Observer, Livingston Cain, who bribed fellow jurors to return not-guilty verdicts in the Vybz Kartel murder trial is still maintaining his innocence in the matter just a week after he was granted bail.
“We can't reveal [what the defence] is at this time but he's maintaining his innocence of course, Dian Watson, Cain's attorney, told reporters yesterday after the matter was mentioned in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court in Half-Way-Tree”, the media house reported.
Bail which was granted to Cain’s in the sum of $750,000 was extended until April 24. “By which time the prosecution is expected to provide the defence with transcript from an in-chambers meeting where the attempted bribery was discussed in the High Court after it was reported, “the Observer reported.
Cain is charged with five counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice and one count of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
He is accused of offering JA$500 000 to the jury foreman in the Kartel murder trial to return a not guilty verdict, and also alleged to have approached other jurors to do the same.
Cain was the only juror to vote not guilty in the trial of Vybz Kartel, Shaw 'Shawn Storm' Campbell, Andre St John, and Kahira Jones.
The men were convicted for the August 16, 2011 murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams over the disappearance of two illegal guns.
