Fans and Artiste React to Buju Banton's Verdict

Grammy Award winning international reggae artiste Buju Banton, is now awaiting sentencing after being found guilty of three cocaine related charges in a federal court in Tampa, Florida Tuesday afternoon.

The singer has been found guilty of charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of a mixture of cocaine, aiding and abetting others in using a communication facility in the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking offence.

However, he was found not guilty on the fourth charge of attempted possession with the intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine. Buju's bail was revoked after the guilty verdict was announced and he will now await sentencing, which could see him incarcerated for up to 20 years.
