Buju steadfast as 2nd drug trial draws closer

Davud Oscar Markus, the attorney representing beleaguered Jamaican Reggae icon Buju Banton, has hailed his client’s resolve and sense of purpose during his times of trouble.

Banton, registered at birth as Mark Anthony Myrie, was arrested and jailed by Florida police in December 2009 on drug-related charges. He spent 11 months in the Pinellas County Jail and is set to face another trial next month for conspiracy to possess, with intent to distribute five or more kilogrammes of cocaine, and facilitating the use of a firearm in committing a crime.
