Banton will know next week if he will be given bail as United States judge Anthony Porcelli reserved his judgement when Markus argued for bail this week.
He faces a sentence of 20 years to life if he is found guilty of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five or more kiolgrammes of cocaine.
Banton’s first trial in September ended in a mistrial after a panel of jurors failed to come to a unanimous verdict, following three days of deliberations.
He has been languishing in the Pinellas County Jail in Tampa. Florida for almost ten months after he was arrested by Federal Agents at his home in Tamarac, South Florida. Source: Jamaica Observer
