Buju Co Defendant Accepts Plea Deal
The Tampa Bay Online is reporting that one of the co-defendants in the cocaine case against Buju Banton will plead guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five kilos or more of cocaine. The news organisation is reporting that Ian Thomas has decided to cooperate with the United States prosecutors based on an agreement filed in court yesterday.
Banton, a four-time Grammy nominee, is set to stand trial on September 20 along with another co-defendant, James Mack, on charges they participated in a cocaine deal in Sarasota, Florida.
Banton, 37, has been held without bail since his arrest on charges of conspiring to distribute cocaine, and aiding and abetting his co-defendants in possessing a firearm during the course of the cocaine distribution. He was arrested in December last year. The charge carries up to life in federal prison.
Tampa Bay Online has said that although Thomas may testify against Banton, co-defendant Mack has signed an affidavit on behalf of the singer. Mack, 48, says in the affidavit that he never met Banton before his arrest, and that Banton had no knowledge of the money and gun that were in Mack’s car.
Meanwhile, Buju’s record company is set to release his ninth studio album, Before the Dawn, in the United States. The release will take place on September 29, nine days after the start of the trial.
