Today, marks the third straight day in court that the jury in the Buju Banton trial have been unable to reach a verdict. The jurors have written to the judge in the trial, informing him that they can not reach an agreement on the verdict.

The jurors appear as though they are all locked in on their opinion of whether Banton is innocent or guilty. If a verdict can not be agreed upon, the case may hit a standstill. A hung jury is looking like a good possibility in this trial.

In the note that jurors gave to Judge James Moody, they explained, “Just for informational purposes, we are still split on a decision and after reviewing evidence, nobody has changed their minds from our original vote on Thursday.”

Buju Banton, is currently being held for federal drug trafficking and weapons charges. He is known mostly as a famous Jamaican Reggae singer who has been nominated for 4 Grammys.

It should be interesting to see what happens, as right now it appears as though there will be no verdict reached. Banton is set to release a new album tomorrow no matter what happens in the trial.

    Buju is a good man, who might have or might not have made a mistake, and for that reason, God will bless him, and set him free. Sometimes in life we get caught up in bad situations, and it is our good acts beforehand that will bail us out. Buju helps lots of children in Jamaica, and not only do Jamaicans love him, we americans, or yankees, as they say, do to. Buju and I were born on the same day, and my good works has certainly bailed me out of sticky situations. Buju keep the faith.

    A hypocrite shall never prosper …. nor the wicked their evil doings … leave Buju alone!! … how many ‘real criminals’ freely walk the streets maiming, killing, assaulting, ‘committing corporate crime’ and rape, the list goes on. It seems Buju’s alleged crime/s are considered more heinous than these!! Stop wasting money and time on petty grievances and incarcerate the real criminals, if you dare!! FREE BUJU
