A mistrial was declared Monday afternoon in the drug trial of reggae star Buju Banton. Jurors informed the judge today that after three days of deliberations they are split.
"We are still split on a decision and after reviewing evidence, nobody has changed their minds from our original vote on Thursday," said a note delivered to the judge from the jurors.
U.S. District Judge James Moody implored jurors to continue working on a verdict.
Banton, whose real name is Mark Myrie, has been held in jail since December on drug conspiracy charges.
