Meanwhile almost twenty days prior Buju Banton’s re-sentencing , there seems to be some hope for Gargamel, based on a juror’s alleged revelation, that leaked out in the past days and was reported by The Weekend Star regarding a female juror that admits in an exclusive interview with New Times Broward – Palm Beach, of researching aspects of Buju Banton’s case for a greater understanding of the matter before deliberation began.
As New Times cites researching facts for federal trials constitutes a violation of court orders, and, as a result, could spark a mistrial and possible appeals of a conviction since standard jury instructions for federal trials tell jurors, “not to attempt to research any fact, issue or law related to this case, whether by discussion with others, by library or Internet research, or by any other means or source.”
The Weekend Star remarked they have also received reports that past and present attorneys representing the entertainer during his legal woes, David Oscar Markus and Chokwe Lumumba, respectively, have weighed in since news broke of the juror’s pronouncement.
According to reports, both attorneys share the view that the assertion of the juror, if proven to be true, may very well be a game-changer in favor of Banton, which is what everybody is hoping right now just weeks before the new trial where the Reggae singer could face additionally five years for fire arm charges previously dismissed and then reinstated.
