TAMPA, Florida – Amid a flurry of rumours that Buju Banton has been freed,  the Jamaican community here has one piece of advice: follow the Jamaica Observer.

The Observer is the only Jamaican newspaper with a reporter covering the trial here at the Gibbons US Court where Banton, real name Mark Myrie, is nervously awaiting a verdict on charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine.

The jury is continuing its deliberations ahead of a verdict expected later today.

Our reporter at the trial, Paul Henry, will bring you further updates when confirmed news is available. You can follow us via our website www.jamaicaobserver.com or Twitter @jamaicaobserver.com.

At the time of writing, Buju is the sixth most popular trending topic on Twitter worldwide.
