After deliberating for some hours on Thursday, all day on Friday and part of Monday, the juror foreman in the Buju Banton trial told the presiding judge that the 12 member jury panel was split evenly. This even split meant that they were unable to reach the unanimous decision that was required to find him either guilty or not guilty. The judge asked them to keep trying, and then again, at around 3pm today, the panel said it was hopelessly stalled. With this news the judge declared a mistrial.Buju Banton's lawyer has made an application for bail for his client, and was told that the court will hear the application tomorrow.ill receive (hear) the application tomorrow.
