The dancehall artiste had returned to court for the outcome of his juror misconduct case against Teri Wright.

Wright was accused of violating judge’s orders by doing Internet research on the Pinkerton Law that was used to convict the artiste.
She may now face charges of contempt following a recommendation by the judge.
Wright reportedly admitted in an earlier court sitting that she used a laptop computer to research aspects of the law used in Myrie’s drug trafficking case.
When asked to present the laptop hard drive for examination by a forensic expert hired by Buju, it was revealed that Wright submitted the wrong drive, and also that she had served on several juries before, a fact the artiste’s lawyer said would have disqualified her from selection had they known.
A motion was subsequently filed by Buju’s team to have the judge rule that Wright had in fact violated his orders.
