Banton got less than the expected 15 years mandatory sentence.
In the past weeks Buju has received letters of support from Stephen Marley son of Bob Marley, a NBA baller and hollywood actor Danny Glover who called Banton a "role model, philanthropist and spiritual leader in the community".
"Your honor, Mark Myrie is not a drug dealer," Glover wrote. "Society would not benefit from his incarceration."
“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,” Banton said in a statement read by his lawyer, David Markus.“The man is not dead. Don’t call him a ghost.”
Markus said they plan to appeal.
where is the justice? usually (in my country at least) only murderers get this long sentence... be strong buju!
