Buju, a
Line Out
favorite from way back, is looking at not a likkle time courtesy of
Babylon:
Despite a triumphant concert in Miami and a Grammy win
within the last few months, Buju Banton's dark days are not behind him.
After an initial trial on drug charges was declared a mistrial, Banton
has been found guilty of conspiring to set up a Florida cocaine deal
back in 2009.
...Banton was arrested in December 2009 on charges that he tried to
set up a cocaine deal in the Tampa area. Though, Banton maintained he
was merely trying to impress the drug dealers because he thought they
had record industry contracts.
...Banton was found guilty of conspiracy to possess with the intent
to distribute cocaine, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug
trafficking offense and using the wires to facilitate a drug trafficking
offense. He was acquitted on a fourth charge of attempted possession
with the intent to distribute cocaine.
Banton could face up to 20 years in jail.
