Vybz Kartel continues to proclaim his innocence behind bars. With the help of University of The West Indies professor, Carolyn Cooper, Kartel has released two letters to the public, via the Jamaica Gleaner.
Kartel who is facing murder, drug and obstruction of justice charges believes he is presumed guilty even before being tried, as law enforcement is using the media to tarnish his reputation.
Vybz Kartel also issued excerpts from his book, Voice of the Jamaican Ghetto, proclaiming his innocence while aiming to distinguish his controversial on stage persona from his off stage demeanor.
Part 2 of the letter was published on Sunday in the Jamaica Gleaner, along with a poem written by Kartel……

P.S. I have enclosed a poem i wrote. feel free to publish it as well. Thanks Ms C.”
(A poem) Guilty before trial?
by A. Palmer
The police have found me guilty and i haven’t gone to trial yet,but they spread propoganda on T.V. & internet
Dem a beat it in the people’s mind that i’m guilty and deserve death,but the public knows how the police operate, so mi nah fret.
So many people in court for allegedly taking 4, 5, 6 pickney life,
So how they don’t discuss that on ‘CVM at sunrise’?
Allegations of extra judicial killings by security forces have already been issue,but i’ve never seen them on t.v. so much, talking about that, did you?
Me never kill nobody yet but they say my music breeds crime,that’s why they’re on my case they want me imprisoned long time.
I am an artiste so i know things will make the news,but don’t crusade this ungodly way to distort peoples views.
Mi swear my innocence before all mankind and God,why would i risk going to jail Leaving behind 7 children, after mi nuh mad.
I am not the first manThe romans soldiers have sacrificed,like me, that man was not guilty That man was Jesus Christ.
