Dantay Brooks
Dantay Brooks, the son of renowned dancehall artist Mavado, was recently released from the Tower Street Adult Correctional Centre in Kingston after serving nearly four years in prison for a murder conviction that was overturned by the Court of Appeal. His conviction, which was based largely on unreliable eyewitness testimony, was quashed due to errors made by the trial judge regarding the treatment of identification evidence.
