<span style="font-weight: bold"> Confirmed : US Gov ' t Informant ...l (Gleaner)...</span>
Buju Banton's trial today in Tampa Florida continued with Alexander Johnson, the informant called by the US government to testify on its behalf, appearing to give contradicting evidence on the stand. Only hours after telling prosecutor Jim Preston that it was Buju who brought up the conversation about cocaine trafficking while on a flight back from Madrid, Spain in July, 2009, Johnson under cross examination from the Jamaican's attorney David Oscar Markus changed his story. During examination from Jim Preston this morning, Johnson said Buju brought up the issue of cocaine when he found out that he was a Colombian. Later this evening however, he said he was the one who told Buju that he knew a Jamaican who has been involved in drag trafficking, and Buju said the man was a snitch. "He wanted to talk about cocaine so I allowed him," Johnson said. The trial has been adjourned until tomorrow.
