The prosecution had charged Williams as well as dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel and three other men for the August 2011 murder of Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams. But today Williams was freed.
All the other men were found guilty.
Williams who was linked to the murder because of an alleged voice on a video was moved to tears as he told the court:
“That is not my voice on the video,” he said.
Williams gave a very short statement proclaiming his innocence.
“I have never been to 7 Swallowfield Avenue,” he said referring to the location of Kartel’s house the murder is said to have occurred.
“I am innocent and I don’t even know why I am even here,” he said.
THE VERDICT
Adidja Palmer – GUILTY
Shawn Campbell – GUILTY
Kahira Jones – GUILTY
Shane Williams – Not GUILTY
Andre St John – GUILTY
