eyewitness credibility

Dante Brooks, son of renowned dancehall artist Mavado, was released from prison on March 7, 2025, after the Jamaican Court of Appeal overturned his 2021 murder conviction. The court cited issues with the credibility of the sole eyewitness and errors in the original trial proceedings as reasons for the decision. Brooks’ release has been met with widespread support from his family, the dancehall community, and fans globally, highlighting the significance of ensuring credible evidence in judicial processes.
