JUSTICE Glenn Brown will next Friday rule on a bail application from jailed entertainer Vybz Kartel.

Brown reserved judgement in the matter on Friday following an in-chambers application from Kartel's legal team.

The application was opposed by the prosecution which submitted that it has strong evidence against the artiste.

The application relates to a charge of murder against the artiste for the 2011 killing of Clive 'Lizard' Williams in Havendale, St Andrew.

Kartel is charged along with five other persons, including fellow artiste Shawn Campbell, who goes by the stage name Shawn Storm.

Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, is also charged with two other men for the murder of Portmore, St Catherine resident Barrington 'Bossie' Bryan.

He has been offered bail at $3 million in this matter.
