Stephen Marley has proven that he is truly a friend in deed.
The son of Reggae king Bob Marley, has put up his Miami Dade house for bond in an effort to secure his friend Buju Banton's release from the Pinellas County Jail.

Buju Banton...to return to court today.


Two weeks ago Banton was offered bail with stringent conditions by United States Magistrate, Anthony Porcelli as he awaits a second trial for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five or more kilogrammes of cocaine.
One of the conditions stipulated that Banton had to secure a US$250,000 bond which was co-signed by his friend Joseph Chavalier, who had put up his St Petersburg home as security for the bond.
However, an appraisal of Chavalier's property revealed that it's value was less than the US$250,000.

See it deh. Jah works in mysterious ways. Months ago Buju lamented the fact that he wasn't as well supported/appreciated as Bob was.This was at a Reggae symposium at UWI. Obviously this lack of respect didn't transfer to Bob's offspring. Interesting.

Driving to werk earlier today... and pondered about Buju.

Must be disconcerting to have ones' freedom taken away; 'specially someone who is used to a 'celebrity' way of life.
