Earlier today, Jamaican reggae superstar, Buju Banton, 38, has been sentenced to 10 years, followed by five years of probation, in the Florida District Court in the United States this morning. Tampa, FL. (AP) - A federal judge sentenced Grammy-winning reggae Buju Banton to 10 years in prison Thursday, the lowest sentence legally allowed for his role in a large cocaine trafficking deal in 2009. The 38-year-old Jamaican recording 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 behavior, he could be out in six years. Family and supporters please continue to pray for Buju.
