Buju Banton
Reggae Star
Sentenced for Drugs
(AP) — A federal judge sentenced
Grammy-winning reggae singer Buju
Banton to 10 years in prison Thurs
day, the lowest sentence legally al
lowed for his role in a large cocaine
trafficking deal in 2009.
The 38-year-old Jamaican record
ing artist got a break when U.S.
District Judge James S. Moody
threw out a gun conviction, which
would have added another five years
to the minimum sentence. Banton's
attorney, David Markus, said with
time already served and good be
havior, he could be out in six years.
In a statement he wrote after the
sentencing, Banton — whose given
name is Mark Myrie — thanked
family, fans and supporters from
around the world who flooded the
court file with letters of support.
"The days that lie ahead are filled
with despair, but I have courage and
grace and I'm hopeful, and that is
sufficient to carry me through," he
said in the statement, which was
read by Markus. "The man is not
dead. Don't call him a ghost."
