DEA agent said Buju set up drug deal - JamaicaObserver.com: "Entertainer Buju Banton's trial started this afternoon with DEA agent Dan McCaffrey on the stand. He testified to Banton's connection to the drug deal which resulted in the artiste's arrest on December 10, 2009.
According to McCaffrey, Banton was instrumental in setting up the drug deal which involved two other men — James Mack and Ian Thomas.
He said, however, that none of the money seized — $135,000 — belonged to Banton.
He also said Ike and Tyke, two men from Georgia, were buyers.
Earlier, while addressing jurors during the opening statement, David Markus, Banton’s attorney, listed 10 reasons why Banton was not guilty.
Among the 10 was that Buju did not get a dollar or anything from the deal; never spoke with James Mack nor heard of him before; that he never spoke with Ike and Tyke and never went to the warehouse on December 8, 2009 to see drugs.
Markus introduced Banton to the jurors, saying that he was not guilty. He said last night (Grammy night) was an important night for Banton, but this week will be important for the entertainer and his family.
He also constantly referred to the police informant as a con artist."
