BUJU BANTON's motion for bail was approved on Thursday, October 14, 2010 in the Sam M Gibbons Federal Court in the United States. He is still not in the clear as his lawyer will now have to seek bond in the immigration court to prevent his deportation to Jamaica.
To make bail, Banton would have to post $250,000 — secured by the equity in a friend's house — wear an electronic monitor and undergo drug testing.
Banton also would have to pay for around-the-clock security, probably off-duty sheriff's deputies, to watch his every move.
It is not clear when recording reggae artiste, Buju Banton, will be released from jail. If Buju's attorney manages to make the said arrangements, the US government still could request another hearing before he is released.
