Reports are that at that time, the lawyers representing Vybz Kartel and the three other accused are expected to provide certain information to help in the sentencing.
The judge said that he had sent a letter to the defence lawyers requesting certain information regarding the convicts; however he is yet to get the information. He said he wanted to find out if someone with artistic talent like Kartel is allowed to continue producing music while in prison.
He wanted to know if there were such allowances, if he could make an order for the proceeds of the recordings to go towards the estate of the deceased.
However, the defence lawyers say they did not get the letter from the court making said request.
This morning when Tavares-Finson was making his submission in relation to Kartel, he mentioned that the Director of Public Prosecution, Paula Llewellyn is now trying to change the protocol in relation to the handling of evidence in her office. However, Llewellyn told the court that she said no such thing.
She reportedly also denied claims by Tavares-Finson that she would be launching an investigation into the conduct of the investigators in the Kartel case.
