DAMNING BlackBerry messages and video footage painted a trail of possible involvement in the murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams by Vybz Kartel and his four co-accused in the riveting trial in the Home Circuit Court in downtown Kingston yesterday.
People in the court had their mouths agape when a message sent from a cellular phone attributed to Vybz Kartel, on August 19, 2011 was displayed on a screen and read out by prosecution witness, Detective Sergeant Patrick Linton. "Tween me an u a chop we chop up the bwoy Lizard fine fine and dash him way inuh. As long as u live dem can never find him," the message stated.

Yet another read: "Yeah man a mince meat dat."
But defence attorney Tom Tavares-Finson objected to the evidence and claimed that Linton had tampered with it.
When the message was first displayed only the words 'Tween me and u' were visible. However, after Linton adjusted the format the entire sentence appeared and Tavares-Finson objected furiously.This caused fireworks to fly between himself and Justice Lennox Campbell, who allowed the evidence. "With the greatest of respect, Your Lordship is ignoring me," Tavares-Finson said angrily.
"Mr Finson, you don't tell what to determine. I will determine that. You will get your chance during cross-examination," Justice Campbell said sternly. more
