Kartel, whose given name is Adidja Palmer, and three others: Andre St. John; Sean Campbell and Kahira Jones were sentenced to life imprisonment in April 2014 for the murder of Clive "Lizard" Williams.

Kartel's attorneys claimed the artiste was wrongly convicted and will be urging the Appeal Court to quash the conviction and sentence.
