The court hearing the murder trial of dancehall star Adija ‘Vybz Kartel’ Palmer has been told that a telephone attributed to Kartel contained among other things voice notes. The voice notes the court was told were extracted by Detective Sergeant Patrick Linton formerly of the Cybercrime Unit of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
Sgt Linton said the voice notes were taken from a micro SD card which is embedded in the phone.
The voice notes were played in court and evidence was led by a Constable, Kemar Wilks that he transcribed the voice notes.
Here is the verbatim transcript of the voice notes in Jamaica Creole.
Note – ‘undecipherable’ in the transcript means the constable could not determine what was said.
