Jah Cure has been sentenced to six years in prison for attempted manslaughter.
Siccature "Jah Cure" Alcock was sentenced in a Dutch court today after the Court of Amsterdam rejected his claim of self-defence. Jah Cure was detained in The Netherlands for his involvement in a stabbing incident, where promoter Nicardo ‘Papa’ Blake was injured in October 2021 in Amsterdam.
The prosecutor stated that Jah Cure’s actions prior to the stabbing showed it was premeditated, and he intended to cause wounding and harm to Blake. although the claim of self-defence was rejected, the court found Jah Cure, 43, not guilty of attempted murder.
The alleged stabbing was started by an argument over money owed to the artiste by the promoter, totaling $5000 Euros for a concert he performed at the Melkweg.
Evidence presented against Jah Cure included witness statements and voice messages from himself to the promoter.
