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.
