I will be putting up a more substantial post soon about the sentencing of Vybz Kartel. In the meantime here’s a selection of tweets from earlier today that will give you a feel of what the mood was like today at the Supreme Court and outside it.

@nnboogie I told the guys at the gym that Judge will give life sans parole 35-40 years …they thought I was being unrealistic …

@nnboogie they were looking at 20 to 25 ..but Judge was always going to sentence with a heavy hand, especially if one doesn’t big for mercy

Poor Parliament. They should have deferred the #ThroneSpeech. Kartel is more newsworthy. -
I see u watch the news “@DMarcAnthony: @nnboogie@thelockedwonder “Yeah.. but is not like seh is wan big person iina society him did kill.””
-
The fact that the #KartelSentencing takes precedence over parliament shows our faith in the system.
-
The trajectory of every #JaThroneSpeech is the same! Tell the people how poorly the world economy is performing.
