Jamaican dancehall artist Vybz Kartel's conviction for murder has been overturned. The 48-year-old was given a life sentence in 2014 for the killing of Clive "Lizard" Williams on the Caribbean island. The trial heard that victim Clive Williams and another man, Lamar Chow, were given two unlicensed firearms belonging to Kartel for safekeeping. Chow told the trial they were attacked and the last thing he saw was Clive Williams - who was never seen alive again - lying motionless on the ground. Kartel and his co-accused Shawn Campbell, Kahira Jones and Andre St John had maintained their innocence since the original trial.
