The $30 million fraud case involving disbarred attorney-at-law Jennifer Messado, in which Dancehall star David ‘Mavado’ Brooks is the complainant, was postponed last week when the case was mentioned in the Kingston and St. Andrew parish court.
Oswest Senior-Smith, attorney-at-law representing Mavado, disclosed that on Friday, the case was adjourned until October 13th. The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) had been expected to reveal whether there were outstanding warrants for his client, Mavado.
On June 5, 2018, the Constant Spring Police had issued a notice for Mavado to report to the police station by midday the next day, for questioning in an “ongoing investigation” regarding a flare-up of violence in Cassava Piece, St. Andrew.
Reports are Mavado had already left the island, following a June 2, 2018 confrontation with a man in the community, who was allegedly involved in a dispute with the artist’s teenage son, Dantay Brooks. Brooks and another man Andre Hinds, were ultimately convicted of the murder of Lorenzo Thomas, who was killed on June 5, 2018.
In July, the ODPP had been set to submit an application seeking approval from the court for Mavado, who resides in the US, to give testimony via video link in the high-profile fraud case. Approval can only be granted if Mavado, whose given name is David Brooks, has no outstanding warrants in Jamaica.
Senior-Smith is unruffled by the brouhaha surrounding the admissibility of Mavado’s testimony, dubbing it a “storm in a teacup” as his client’s testimony is not critical to the successful prosecution of the case.

Over a week after Vybz Kartel’s Turkish fiancé, Sidem Öztürk revealed that they were getting married, junior national security minister Zavia Mayne has reiterated that the Life Sweet deejay is not getting preferential treatment as he continues to serve a life sentence.
Mayne was speaking on the status of the 46-year-old Worl’ Boss—who is currently an appellant before the UK Privy Council to have his murder conviction overturned.
“As it now stands, he is an individual that has been convicted through the judicial and justice system. He has, at the first instance in the Supreme Court, [been] tried and found guilty. He has appealed and the Court of Appeal has affirmed the ruling of the court below. There is absolutely no reason to treat him specially,” said Mayne, according to the Jamaica Star.
After the Fox5 New York interview with Lisa Evers, on September 27, Kartel was transferred to the Tower Street Adult Correctional Centre, known as GP, during heavy rainfalls. His attorney Isat Buchanan had publicly condemned the move, citing that it put the entertainer’s life at risk considering his health issues.
Ozturk told Evers that she and Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Azim Palmer, got engaged in the summer of 2022 during an authorized prison visit.
Mayne was asked whether or not the government was aware of Kartel’s engagement.
“I am absolutely in no position to confirm. The best person to confirm would be Mr Kartel, but guess what? Where he is now he can’t help you,” he said. Mayne, however, noted he has “heard rumours” of illegal recordings and that contraband within the prison system continues to be an issue for the Holness administration.
“…What we do know is that the position of prohibited articles, items, within our correctional facilities has been a challenge for us, and that is something that the Government has taken a keynote of, and we are aggressively pursuing solutions for same,” he told the Star.
Kartel has released hundreds of recordings and eight albums since he was incarcerated in September 2011. His recently released 7-track EP titled True Religion is said to be dedicated to his new fiancé.
In a 2020 interview with Billboard, Kartel sidestepped the question about how he manages to release so much new music from prison.
“Many people say YES! VYBZ IS RECORDING IN PRISON!! But where’s the proof? But this is Jamaica where you don’t need proof to imprison someone. For the record, I’m not authorized to answer such ‘above pay grade’ questions so I’ll say, ‘a tree fell in the forest and no one was there to hear it,” he said at the time.
In March 2020, following the release of his To Tanesha album, officials of the Department of Correctional Services had said actions would be taken against Kartel after what they described as “contraband” was found in his cell.
