Fabio the trial started on monday so is not the same news... :offtopic

Buju was arrested last December and after 10 month in a jail finally the trial started and the verdict is espected for today... we are all waiting of it

nadia, you took the words out of my mouth.

anyways, the jury went home today with no verdict. Let's hope we get one on Monday. Sometimes it's good when the jury takes this long. Open and shut guilty verdicts often take no time at all for a jury to come down with.

If you have read what's been happening in the court room it's hard to tell what they will do. There is no doubt Buju was being an idiot and 100% got himself into this mess. He ran his pie hole way too much and had too much bravado. Should he go to jail for dealing coke for any amount of time. NO!

Yes Joe I'm reading every news about this trial... also I'm tranlsating some to keep Rasta Snob website updated with the news about Buju. Yes... he acted as a foolish but I'm convinced he's not guilty! Hopefully the verdict will be released on monday.. I'm very tense about it...

I think so far he is very lucky. I read the transcripts of the wire tap and Buju is saying way too much stuff that incriminates him. Then to show up at the warehouse, taste the coke etc.. is not good. To split that jury 6 and 6 was very lucky. Most people here with half a brain are more disgusted with our "officials" paying a convicted Colombian drug dealer over 3 million dollars to entrap people than they are with a guy trying to buy 5 kilos of coke. And i would not be surprised if that was not the main reason 6 people on that jury REFUSED to convict him.
