The United States government has issued its first public response to the recent appeal made on behalf of international Reggae superstar Buju Banton , real name Mark Myrie.
Buju’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus filed an appeal this past December; hoping that law officials would overturn his 10 year sentence on federal drug charges.
Buju’s legal team cited the untrustworthy nature of renowned government informant, Alexander Johnson and a possible violation of the Speedy Trial Act, amongst other factors as grounds for the case’s dismissal.
Now, the U.S. government has retorted to those claims; intimating that they have enough evidence supporting their case against Buju Banton.
Filing a response to Buju’s appeal on Friday, federal prosecutors insist that the the singer recorded conversations with Johnson, as well as video tapes showing Banton tasting cocaine in a Sarasota, FL warehouse prove that Buju “eagerly brokered” a drug deal involving a friend and several undercover agents.
