A juror from the Vybz Kartel murder trial testified on Tuesday that his colleague juror Livingston Cain tried to persuade him on more than one occasion to return a not guilty verdict against the entertainer and four of his co-accused.
Dennis Brown testified that Cain approached him shortly after the start of the trial in November 2013 and told him that the prosecution could not be believed, and that he is to return a verdict of not guilty. But Brown said he told Cain that the evidence he heard was not sufficient for him to make a decision. Cain testified also that Cain again approached him in January 2014 with the same plea.
They are young men with bright futures and they are prominent entertainers,"Brown said Cain told him.
