*Buju Banton's Verdict*




Today Buju Banton was found guilty on three charges by a 12 member panel of jurors. They decided he's guilty of conspiracy,possession of a firearm and using wires  to facilitate a drug trafficking offence. He was found Not Guilty of attempted possession with the intent to distribuite cocaine.
Buju  hugged his lawyer,David Markus, when the verdict was read, while a lot of his supporters left the courtroom in tears.His bail is been revoked and he's actually detained awaiting sentence. Here a little statement from the artist:
"Our life and our destiny are sometimes pre-destined and no matter where this journey takes me, remember I fought the good fight, it was a great man that said my head is bloody but still unbowed. I love you all ,thank you for your support". His lawyer, has declared his intention to appeal the guilty verdict that was handed down in  Sam Gibbons Federal Court, Tampa, Florida, today.
Buju fans are sad and proclaming his innocence all over social networks and websites and there is shock concerning the Voice of Jamaica being trapped in the american jail system for a crime that never really happened. Free Buju!
