VALERIE Neita-Robertson, KC, says she will be appealing Tuesday's guilty verdict handed down to her client Livingston Cain, the juror in the Vybz Kartel murder trial who was accused of offering $500,000 to the jury foreman to influence other jurors to return a not guilty verdict.

He was found guilty in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court of perverting the course of justice after being accused of offering the money to a female juror in the case, which was brought against dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel. Kartel, whose given name is Adidja Palmer. Kartel was eventually found guilty along with Shawn Campbell, Kahiro Jones, and Andre St John for killing Clive "Lizard" Williams at a house in Havendale, St Andrew, in August 2011.

Cain enjoyed bail for eight years but had it revoked by trial Judge Maxine Ellis on Tuesday in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court, which means that he will spend Christmas in jail.

He will be sentenced on March 2, 2023.

Parish Judge Maxine Ellis insisted on November 22 that it was about time a verdict was arrived at, indicating that she had no wish to have the trial stretched beyond 2022.
