Dancehall legend Buju Banton’s attorney has asked a federal judge in Tampa to reconsider the decade-long prison sentence handed to the Jamaican musician for two drug charges.

Banton will appear Tuesday in federal court for a re-sentencing on a gun possession charge – a charge which could add five years to Banton’s sentence.

Banton’s attorney, David O. Markus, says the singer is eligible for a reduced sentence of five years and a day because he’s a first-time, non-violent offender with “the support of his entire country” and a history of philanthropic endeavors.
