Buju's fingers still crossed

Image via Wikipedia Jamaica Gleaner "Lawyers representing dancehall star Mark 'Buju Banton' Myrie have confirmed a Gleaner report that United States District judge James Moody has ruled against a motion seeking to dismiss new charges against him.

The ruling - Document 232 - was filed in the court on January 26, and rejects one of two motions filed by Buju's lawyers as they seek to get the additional charges dismissed.

But the defence attorneys yesterday told The Gleaner that they remain hopeful that Buju will be retried on only two charges despite the court's rejection of a motion for the new charges to be dismissed for vindictiveness.
