Update : Buju Banton granted bail



United States Judge Anthony Porcelli has offered bail to Jamaican reggae star Buju Banton, whose real name is Mark Myrie.

Our newscentre understands that bail was granted under strict conditions. Buju was given bail at US$250,000. Porcelli also ordered that Buju be placed under 24-hour surveillance with the costs being paid by the defence.

The Gleaner also understands that Buju will have to receive an immigration bond to prevent deportation. The US authorities, however, would want to keep Buju in the US to face his new trial in December.

On October 6, the judge heard arguments from the US prosecution as well as Buju’s lawyers and reserved his judgement.

Buju’s lawyer had filed the motion for a bail hearing on September 27, after federal judge, James Moody declared a mistrial in the drug case against Buju.


He made the ruling after the 12-member jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision in the case.

The judge says a new trial is to be held in December on a date to be announced.
