“The date is confirmed as the 14 and 15 of February 2024, following the granting of an application for expedited hearing,” Buchanan disclosed. Continuing, he said, “The application was made after Mr Palmer’s health scare when placed in solitary confinement earlier this year.” Kartlet currently suffers from Graves’ disease and a heart condition.

Kartel was convicted along with Kahiro Jones, Andre St John, and Shawn Campbell in the murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams in August 2011, at a house in Havendale, St Andrew, Jamaica.
