A jury foreman minutes ago told United States judge Jim Moody that they have not been able to reach a verdict in the case involving Buju Banton.
The foreman said the 12-member jury was split evenly.
He told the court "I don't know if we will get to a final decision. We don't feel that we will progress, so could you provide further instructions? Since Thursday we have been reviewing evidence, nobody has changed their minds from their original positions,"
Moody then instructed the jurors to take their time in coming to a final decision."Be as leisurely as the occasion may require," Moody said. The judge gave further instructions that none of the jurors should surrender their conscience decision. Banton's attorney David Markus then filed a motion for a mistrial but Moody rejected the motion.
Buju Banton will have to wait until December to know his fate. United States Judge Tim Moody announced that a new trial will begin in December.
